From AP:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Also Wednesday, the shootings at Columbine High School led two Colorado state lawmakers to withdraw gun proposals from the current legislative calendar.
One measure, by Republican state Rep. Gary McPherson, would let state law override local ordinances on gun control. McPherson said he acted "out of deference to the victims and their families. Now is not the time to have this debate."
The Colorado House's majority leader, GOP state Rep. Doug Dean, was sponsoring a bill to simplify the issuance of permitsfor concealed weapons.
Dean reported receiving calls at his Colorado Springs home, some of them with "veiled threats," after the Littleton shootings.[/quote]
Now, I'm not sure these have been tabled for the entire session, or just the next day or so. AP isn't notorious for getting the facts straight in situations such as this, and they tend to be anti-self defense, so I'm taking this with a grain of salt, and doing some calling around.
I note that the anti-self defense crowd is showing their true colors again, threatening those they disagree with.
