But the debate over the Second Amendment right to bear arms may put the First Amendment right of free speech to the test. House Speaker Mark Ferrandino assured Republicans that ample time will be allotted to debate the bills on the floor. His remarks followed a speech by state Rep. Bob Gardner (R-Colorado Springs) asking legislators to respect debate. “I ask you to consider that this is the debate of the people ofColoradoand of our constituents,”Gardner said Thursday on the House floor. Gardner and fellow Republicans complained of gun-control bills being pushed through Democrat-controlled committees this week – cutting off the testimony of witnesses and questions posed by legislators who opposed the bills. Friday’s debate will be over passage of House Bill 1224 to ban large ammunition magazines, House Bill 1228 to assess a background check tax, House Bill 1229 to expand background checks for gun transactions and House Bill 1226 to prohibit concealed carry weapons on college campuses. Whether it is a two-hour discussion of three bills in the House Appropriations Committee or a 12-hour debate over two bills before the House Judiciary Committee, Gardner said that constituents and their legislators deserve to be heard and respected. “To curtail that debate because one needs to be on the floor to move a bill forward that is serious, and one that constituents take as infringement upon their fundamental rights, is nothing less than to diminish the process,” he said. “And to silence even those of us who refuse to be silenced.”...[/i][/b] [/quote]

to own guns.
