I think a lot of Coloradoans were certain the gun control bills were inspired, if not dictated by outside influences. We saw Biden calling politicians in our state legislature, and Bloomberg sent lobbyists and money to influence them.
But the ideas Bloomberg pushes aren't even good for NYC, let alone Colorado.

I believe the Colorado bills were meant to lend support to the National gun control effort, and when it failed nationally, left the Colorado politicians without cover.

The repercussions may not be over yet. One Colorado Springs TV station has been running a poll on their news web site. The question is whether people want Hickenlooper reelected. With a sample of around 550, its running 86% NO.
