Guns-N-Politics

Perusing the innertubes today, I find that the Bradys have issued new and improved scores for the various states with respect to gun control.
Cali added one point by requiring dealers to retain records of sales for ALL guns into the foreseeable future. Can't go get 'em if you don't know where they are now can you?

I noted Colorado, one orange state in a sea of red. What did we do wrong? Even New Mexico, a reliably blue state full of welfare dependent Indians on federally controlled land has not yet sunk to this depth. So I looked. There it is! We got 7 points for closing the gun show loophole and requiring even the few private sales that go on there to be subject to background checks.

That's 7 out of our total of 15. Our legislature is currently looking at modifying the background check process to eliminate redundantly using both a state and federal agency, which won't help our score, and expanding our castle doctrine to include businesses, which I expect will be killed in the dependably blue Senate.

Nationally, some 14 other states have dropped an aggregate 33 points for an overall drop on 4% in the last year.
