The anti-gunners are alive and well in Colorado, and they are at war with our gun rights.

Rocky Mountain Gun Owners

Colorado --(Ammoland.com)- As you may know, Colorado state law doesn’t allow a taxpayer-funded facility to ban concealed carry (i.e. they think you shouldn’t be able to defend yourself).

Based on that law, Rocky Mountain Gun Owners filed a complaint against Colorado State University two years ago, and won.

This week, the same lawyer who filed against CSU again represented Rocky Mountain Gun Owners members by filing a lawsuit against Northern Colorado Medical Center (NCMC) in Greeley.

NCMC is a county-owned hospital, and bans permit holders (in fact, all firearms) from entering that facility, though they do not have the required metal detectors and security personnel at every entrance.

Put simply, they can’t do that.

As of this moment, NCMC is a Criminal Safezone. You may never set foot in NCMC, but this is a direct assault on your Second Amendment rights, and it’s happening all across Colorado — illegally.

If RMGO prevails, law-abiding gun owners in Colorado will be allowed to carry in NCMC to protect themselves and their families from any violent criminal who would seek to do them harm.

It will send a message to every (illegally) gun-banning facility.

Make no mistake about it, this is a lawsuit to put ALL taxpayer-funded facilities on notice: RMGO will sue if you violate the Second Amendment rights of Colorado gun owners.

Gun owners in Colorado should be outraged by this gross violation of state law and our Second Amendment rights.

You and I need to make an example of NCMC — that banning guns in taxpayer-funded facilities will not be tolerated in Colorado.

It’s not only detrimental to the safety of law-abiding citizens, but it shows a blatant disregard for the law. And we worked too hard to set the law to allow unelected bureaucrats to set policies that violate the law.

Thanks again for your passionate commitment to defending and protecting our Second Amendment rights. I’ll be sure to keep you updated.

Help Defeat Obama's Favorite Anti-Gun Republican

Rocky Mountain Gun Owners

Colorado --(Ammoland.com)- On the evening of Monday, January 30th, in Denver, we have a chance to help get rid of one of the U.S. Senate’s worst Second Amendment votes.

Richard Mourdock is running against Indiana U.S. Senator Dick Lugar, and will be hosting a fundraiser in the Denver-Metro area.

Make no mistake about it; Lugar is THE “Tea Party” target for the 2012 primary season.

The event is being held in Downtown Denver at Maggiano’s restaurant on Monday, Jan. 30th starting at 6:30pm. The campaign is asking $1,500 per couple to attend the event.

And though I realize that’s a lot of money, it’s an EXTREMELY important race.

Here’s why:

“Republican” Senator Dick Lugar was in the news in 2011 when he called for a reinstatement of the Assault Weapons ban.

What you might not know is that this isn’t Senator Lugar’s only foray into gun control.

In fact, if there were a U.S. Senator who rivaled Democrats in calls for new gun controls, it would be Dick Lugar.

Paul Helmke, former President of the Brady Campaign, said “Sen. Lugar is one of my heroes.”

Part of that might stem from the fact that Lugar’s Press Secretary, Mark Helmke, is Paul Helmke’s brother, giving the Brady Campaign unparalleled access.

I’ve debated Paul Helmke on national TV several times. I can tell you, with certainty, that this man HATES freedom — and would love to make every firearm in America illegal.

Paul Helmke himself is a long-time Indiana political gadfly of the worst type. His alliance with the gun control elite is well-documented, as is his admiration for Dick Lugar.

The other reason the gun-banning Brady crowd loves Senator Lugar is that he has voted with them more than any Republican Senator in Senate history.

For that reason, New York’s billionaire mayor (who also leads Mayors Against Guns), Michael Bloomberg recently held a fundraiser in New York city for Dick Lugar.

The connections are just too great to ignore.

Senator Dick Lugar MUST be defeated in the Indiana primary. It has national implications, which should make any concerned gun owner in America get involved in this race.

And there are many reasons and issues to want to retire Dick Lugar from the US Senate. His disdain for the “tea party” movement (i.e. moving our government toward a more Constitutional approach and encouraging fiscal accountability from Washington) is epic.

The federal PAC I run, the National Association for Gun Rights PAC, has endorsed Richard Mourdock and maxed out to his campaign.

But we need your help as well.

So, I strongly encourage you to do one of two things:

• Attend the fundraiser in Denver on Jan. 30th by donating $1,500. If you can do this, call 317-613-7794 to RSVP with Fred Cooper.
• If you can’t afford that, and I know that’s a tall order, donate directly to the Mourdock campaign online.

You can donate to Richard Mourdock -- and against Tricky Dick Lugar -- by following the link here: http://tiny.cc/8kvgc .

I’ll be there Monday night, and hope you will as well.

For freedom,

P.S. We must defeat arch-RINO Republican Senator Dick Lugar of Indiana.

I hope you’ll join me in supporting Richard Mourdock by either attending a fundraiser in Denver on Monday, Jan. 30th or donating online to defeat Lugar by clicking here.

If you want to attend this event, RSVP to Fred Cooper at (317) 613-7794 or e-mail him at Fred@RichardMourdock.com
