Colorado Republicans Upset White House Getting Involved in State Gun Control Debate
Say Joe Biden's been lobbying
Republican lawmakers in Colorado say they want the White House to stay out of their state battle over gun control, accusing Vice President Biden of personally leaning on Democratic legislators for their votes in a tight campaign that could change the national conversation on gun rights.
Republican state Rep. Carole Murray told FoxNews.com she doesn't appreciate "East Coast politics" interfering in her state.

Forcing a guy buyer to pay for his own background check is a poll tax and unconstitutional. If you can't be forced to pay a fee to vote, you certainly can't be forced to pay a fee to exercise your 2nd amendment rights. Sometimes state legislators can be so stupid, there is no way that passes constitutional muster.
