I was there on Saturday, if only to drop-off a gun with a vendor. I see it as yet another example of how Colorado is changing (& not for the better IMHO). It illustrates both a demographic and a generational shift away from more-traditional, more agrarian and perhaps more-conservative values to something resembling say....California. Gun shows here have moved from high-density (& high-profile) Denver to a much lower-density and a lower-profile place (Greeley). It also represents a state that has gone from mostly Red (when I first got here in the middle 80s) to more Purple (in the 2000s) to now an almost bright Blue, with full Democrat control over the House, the Senate, and the Governors Mansion. Even lowly Colorado Springs (the last bigger & mostly-conservative Colorado city, long a Republican stronghold) now has a Democratic mayor (the 1st one in something like 41-years). Demography is indeed destiny and...Colorado is now effectively run by a one-party political system (the Republican Party here is remarkably useless and shockingly-ineffective, it makes one wonder about who is really running it?). If history repeats itself (here, as it has elsewhere), things will really start to change now, and much more-rapidly. This will likely get this thread locked, so my apologies up-front for that.
