CO Bill to ban Semi rifles and shotguns moves to senate floor.

[longbow51]

The PR argument is the best one. We have way more shooters than hunters now, and as pressure on wildlife increases, that number will increase, and for many, their favorite rife is the AR.

Man Colorado has headed downhill fast

As a native I cannot believe how fast it fell. All I can say is Montana watch out. It is blue state migration that killed the cat.

All I can say is Montana watch out.

As dark red wacko that the Montana Legislature is, it's more likely we see a bill for mandatory open carry of semi-autos on the Senate Chamber Floor! (Open carry bill as well as actual open carry in the Senate Chamber!)

It almost sounds like they are turning into California. It is hilarious to me to see a senator or representative stand up in front of a crowd and try to describe how an ar works. They should also be fiction book writers because they make it so suspenseful and dangerous sounding. They would sell millions of copies. On a serious note, this is terrible and there is no reason for them to ban any particular firearm. If they pass this, like others have said, it would be a stepping stone for other things to.

That's not a bad idea we could use a few less Politicians.

They literally have no idea. Our mental giant Congresswoman DeGette told everyone a few years ago that banning the sale of magazines would mean eventually they would all go away, because after you shoot the ammo you have to throw the magazine away. It would've taken her approximately 2 minutes on Wikipedia to understand the fundamentals, but actually familiarizing herself with the issue would've been too much work! These are the people who write the laws that we have to abide by...

Almost seems like a bunch of California commies moved to Colorado and are trying make it like California.

edited to add: I was typing same time LuketheDog was.

Other than more slippery slope. Yes this bill (rather sweepingly) goes after semi’s with magazines, the difference between those and your everyday Rem 11-87 is incomprehensible to most laypersons. The focus on “semi-automatic ” even when qualified by “specified” is just another re-framing of the anti-gun focus once again. Will they ever run out of scary terms? Not likely.

Assault rifle…. Check

Black rifle….check

Sniper rifles…. Check

High power…. Check

Armor piercing… check

Weapons of war…. Check

Mass casualty weapons…. Check

Ghost guns…. Check

Hi-Capacity…..check

Large caliber…..check

3D Printed …..check

Suppressed….check

adjustable stock/detachable magazine/gas operated/threaded barrel/forearm grip/pistol grip/shortened/modular/etc etc.

any word, literally any, will one day be attempted. wait til “bolt action” or “break action” or dual barrel or concealable…or lightweight… or synthetic stocked…. Gets used. They will be.

so fight it all!

Fight like hell! You’re exactly right. They never stop. Completely disarmed is the end game. I got news for these idiots.

It’s pretty wild. Colorado General Assembly rams through 3-4 gun control bills per session. Based on that trajectory they will be on to confiscation or highly encouraged gun buy backs pretty soon. Denver/Boulder Dems in the state house/senate are beholden to the Everytown/Giffords/Bloomberg campaign money. In order to keep that flowing they have to pass new gun control bills every year.

On the political spectrum there are Dems, there are blue states, and way left of that there is Colorado General Assembly crazy. Nothing surprises me anymore.
