i spoke with the governor john hickenlooper and i said what is going on in the denver metro with some of these spree killing we're seeing. he said there's no rational reason why it's happening but he's sick of it and they want to find a gap between strong second amendment activists, we're in the west, a lot of guns out this way but a lot seeing communities safer. they don't want schools turning into what we saw friday. they want safe havens for kids to learn and have a bright future that everybody thought karl pierson had until friday. they have got to find a way to come together. everybody has to put aside harsh rhetoric and come together for everyone's best interest. easier said than done. he wants to work on it in colorado where it is a tough issue around the country politically, andrea. >> apparently the gun was purchased, ammo purchased legally and he's 18 years old. the first responders did what they had to do quick enough to prevent further injury or death. >> right. exactly. the governor said that was key to keeping this from being another columbine where you had a dozen, thir

when those bills passed the colorado legislature and they were signed in to law by governor john hickenlooper, again, all hell broke loose with the gun lobby calling it war and calling it tyranny and launching recall efforts against state legislators who had supported those bills. they tried to go after a whole lot of colorado legislators. most of the recall attempts did not get off the ground, but in two cases, they were successful. for two state senators, their support for those gun laws cost them their seats. the colorado gun lobby the next day posted these tomb stones online, bragging about how they had killed off those two senators. in november, a third state senator quit, rather than face a recall herself. she quit so her party could replace her and then that person could run next year without having that gun vote on their record. and you know, the colorado recalls, especially if you ask anybody in the beltway, colorado recalls have become the story about gun policy after newtown, right? what happened in colorado, those two recalls, they have become central to the understanding of the i

in march, governor john hickenlooper signed the bills into law. s at a state government that had dared to loosen the iron grip of the gun lobby, the nra launched an effort to oust democratic elected state senators john morse and angela giron. they lost their seats in september, aided in no small part by conservative led efforts to prohibit mail-in ballots, despite the fact that 88% of coloradans mailed in their ballots during the 2012 election cycle. the nra's recall dramatically changed the power balance in the state senate and gave colorado democrats the edge by only one seelt. spurred on by their win, the gun lobby went back for more. weeks later, faced with yet another recall, one that could have handed republicans the majority, colorado state senator evie hudock resigned from her seat on the day before thanksgiving. by resigning, she allowed governor hickenlooper to appoint a democrat to her seat, thus ensuring that the state's gun safety measures will be allowed to stand. a mother and long-time teacher initially got into politics as an educat
