The Homophobia and disrespet for women from Ken Buck<\/a> is well known.  What you may not know is that this Republican extremist running for the Senate seat from Colorado also has a history of supporting street crime to allow one of his cronies to profit.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\"24kenbuck\" Ken Buck, Colorado’s Republican Senate candidate, was once an assistant federal prosecutor.<\/p>\n

There was an Aurora gun dealer who sold guns illegally and had 37 counts thrown at him. This was a violation of federal law, nothing to sneeze at.<\/p>\n

Ken Buck didn’t pursue the prosecution<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ken Buck shared information with the defense team<\/strong>. That’s right, he tipped them off<\/strong>. How’s that for law enforcement? Then he resigned<\/strong>. Was he forced to?<\/p>\n

Ken Buck was reprimanded… by a Republican U.S. Attorney<\/strong>. A partisan witch hunt? Not so much.<\/p>\n

The illegal gun dealer benefited from Ken Buck’s unethical, sleazy behavior. He was convicted of a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

The gun dealer donated to Ken Buck’s campaign<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Maybe this is why Bob Barr, of the NRA, GOP House and Federal Prosecuting in the late 80s thinks there are serious ethical questions that need to be answered by Mr. Buck<\/a>. Nothing like a little NRA on NRA violence two weeks before an election to make the day interesting.<\/p>\n

Oh and guess where this GOP Contributor<\/a> Greg Golyansky’s guns ended up? <\/p>\n

With such all-stars as the Los Angeles based "Pocket Crips" gang and Randy "Rambo" Canister, who in 2005 was sentenced to life for a triple murder in Aurora. Lest you think these were just coincidences, as reported by David Ohlinger in the Denver Post in 1999 (no link cause from the Dark Ages of Internet) "…fully 40% of multiple gun purchases traceable to criminal arrests in the state of Colorado were made by Golyansky’s pawn shop<\/strong>…buyers traveled from all around the state — and nation — to Golyansky’s little shop."\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
