Since Scott Tipton has been in office at the state and federal level, there have been literally hundreds of thousands of gun deaths.

He has not only done nothing to reduce this number, but even worse, he has done everything possible to stop the efforts of those who propose common-sense gun control.

It appears that Tipton views a high rate of gun deaths as an acceptable by-product of virtually unlimited access to guns.

I urge all who are disgusted by this loss of human life to hold Tipton accountable by your letters, phone calls, questions of Tipton on the street in Cortez, and finally, by your vote.
