Earlier this year, the Colorado state legislature successfully passed some strict gun-control measures, but gun-rights advocates say the issue isnt settled: Theyre mounting recall campaigns against some legislators who voted for the bill, including one of the states highest-ranking lawmakers. State-senate president John Morse and at least three other Democrats are facing recalls in their respective districts.

 

Colorado was the only state outside of the East Coast to pass significant gun-control laws in the wake of the Newtown shooting, so both supporters and opponents believe the recalls could have national implications. Morse, for example, has already received $20,000 from America Votes, a national left-wing organization, to starve off the recall effort.

The Associated Press reports that the lawmakers are being targeted not just because of their recent votes, but because they also serve in competitive districts that could be easier to retake.
