Good. I hope he gets recalled. I hope there are many more politicians that get recalled across the nation. I wish we would have enough people in support of the 2A that we could do it here. If you don't want to be called a traitor then do what the people want not what furthers your career.

Traitors deserve worse.

 

[browning guy]

bring back tar and feathers

 

[amoebicmagician]

I thought treason was a hanging offense?

The oath of office is supposed to be sacred- you take the mantle of leadership, you accept the consequences of betraying that oath- death

 

[Hopalong]

Traitors deserve worse.

This man is not a traitor.

This is a man we disagree with.

We may disagree with him. We may hate his stance. But he is trying to serve his state and his country as he sees best.

Misguided, yes. On the wrong side of history, yes. But not a traitor.



We would all be wise to use such words sparingly. Maybe if tempers cooled down on both sides just a little bit, we could make gun control advocates understand why we are so protective of our rights instead of just shouting inflammatory remarks at them.

No, I'm not suggesting any sort of compromise on our rights. We've compromised enough already and shouldn't any further. But maybe we'd have an easier time winning people over if we talked to them like, you know, people.

He is not a traitor in regard to his country.

He IS a traitor to his constituents. He ran on a pro-2A platform to get elected then flipped.

That makes him a politician, not a traitor.

Politicians are dealt with in entirely different ways than traitors. We would all be wise to remember that.

That's the problem with legislators today. I don't care what HE thinks is best. He got elected on whatever platform he ran on. If he reversed his stance, then he should be recalled.

This article is not really addressing the recall of this politician. It really points out that this organization in CO is a right leaning organization with little accountability and how they have posted questionable article and actually posted a report of the meeting before the meeting took place.

100% agreed. And that doesn't make him a traitor.

 

[justjcarr]

Soooo.... can we try and get some of our senators and representatives recalled?

 

[Half-cocked]

There's no provision in MD law to recall an elected official.

 

[Ethan83]

He's a traitor to humanity. He wants to use violence against nonviolent individuals. That makes him a despicable person, end of story. Yes, it really is that simple.

 

[uneven]

That makes him a politician, not a traitor.

I must have a broken dictionary, because mine is telling me that abandoning the beliefs of your peers and turning on them for personal gain is an act of a traitor.

+1 The way we present our message is important. 2A is an American issue, not a right vs left wing issue. Sometimes in politics there are different viewpoints, different sides to a story and different solutions. But in this case, there is only one answer, there is a right side here and it's our job to guide the misinformed.

 

[teratos]

There's no provision in MD law to recall an elected official.

That should be corrected.

 

[BigSteve57]

That should be corrected.

I think that would require an amendment to the state constitution.
We could start a referendum!

Oh wait they're trying to stop that too...

How about Yellow Belly or turncoat ?

Maybe that's the problem.
