Colorado Lawmaker To Resign Over Gun Control Recall Threat

If State Sen. Evie Hudak (D-Westminster) had lost the vote Republicans would have gained control of the Senate

DENVER — State Sen. Evie Hudak has decided to resign rather than risk facing a recall election that, should she lose, would flip control of the senate to Republicans, FOX31 Denver was first to report Wednesday.

Later Wednesday morning, Hudak made her resignation letter public.

"In the interest of preserving the progress made over the last year, I am resigning as State Senator for District 19, effective immediately," Hudak wrote.

"In the interest of preserving the progress made over the last year,"

I'll presume this is 'Serve the People!' sort of "progress".

"Most Coloradans believe that the convenience of high-capacity ammunition magazines is less important than saving lives in tragedies like Sandy Hook, Aurora and Columbine," Hudak wrote in her resignation letter. "That's why I sponsored SB 13-197, a bill that takes guns out of the hands of domestic abusers. ? By resigning, I am protecting these important new laws."

But if "most" Coloradians support your little magazine laws, why are you afraid to to stand up to those gun nuts. Show them what's-what.
