It's still not working, kids:
Two Democratic state lawmakers who backed tighter gun laws in the aftermath of mass shootings have been kicked out of office in a recall election promoted by both grassroots activists and the National Rifle Association.Symbolic of what's coming for your erstwhile colleagues, Mr. Morse.
Senate President John Morse lost by just 343 votes Tuesday in a swing district in the Republican stronghold of Colorado Springs but Sen. Angela Giron lost by a bigger margin in a largely blue-collar district that favors Democrats.
The NRA said the election sent a clear message to lawmakers that they should protect gun rights and be accountable to their constituents, not to "anti-gun billionaires" — a swipe against New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who supported Giron and Morse.
Democrats will still maintain control of the state Legislature and the laws are expected to remain in place.
"The loss of this senate seat is purely symbolic," Morse said.

CA has done all it can to ban all the weapons they can... the result is devastating (ex, a Walther PPK, on the the most common off duty/conceal guns ever, cannot be purchased here.)
now... they are moving on to special permit cards to buy ammo, and all ammo purchases registered. i expect lots of increased ammo sales in AZ.
