A few weeks back, I noted that Colorado governor Jared Polis signed into law one of the most radically anti-Second-Amendment bills in the country.  

Put a pin in that.  We'll come back to it.  

Before I was a D-list political commentator, I was a guy with two kids who didn't have a lot of time for political activism.  But I found some time to get involved in one issue - changing Minnesota's carry permit law, from "Discretionary Issue" (local police chiefs decided who got carry permits - which, in the Twin Cities metro meant "friends, relatives and contacts of the police chiefs") to "Shall Issue", where anyone with a clean record who passed a fairly rudimentary legal orientation course had to be issued a permit.
