The only one unaware of the REAL world is you @lowlyrepub.  

1.  She passed the background check.  HB 17-1305 would have not helped in this case.  

2.  There was language in HB 17-1305 which did NOT pertain to background checks (namely lefty entitlements at taxpayer expense).  I find it interesting someone spouting off about the "real world" would conveniently ignore FACTS and selectively use portions of text, rather than the whole thing, to try and make an, ahem, point.  Read the WHOLE bill next time before running your mouth.

3.  HB16-1308, is "Fraudulent Misrepresentation Of A Service Animal".  

3a.  What does that have to do with background checks?  

It passed 65-0.  

3b.  What does that have to do with Republicans preventing the crime mentioned in the article from happening?
