Are the divides growing in Colorado a specter of the events to come for the rest of America? "Under oppressive recent legislation, Colorado representatives gathered Monday to discuss the establishment of the Northern part of the state as the 51st state, North Colorado. Eight northern counties cited a “growing urban-rural divide” as the main reason for the desire to secede from the rest of the state. That divide is fueled mostly by economic concerns raised by recent intrusive and restrictive gun laws in the state. “Northern and Northeastern Colorado and our voices are being ignored in the legislative process this year,” said Weld County Commissioner Sean Conway, one of many who claimed to be affected by gun control legislation and the state’s efforts to encourage less oil use and gas production. “Our very way of life is under attack,” he said." misguidedchildren/politics/2013/07/northern-colorado-ready-to-secede-from-oppressive-gun-control-laws-economic-fallout/1450
