Colorado gun ban

[Moserkr]

Coming from CA, the laws are no surprise. The dems like to pass anything they can to abuse rights without considering prior case law or the constitution. The biggest issue is hanging tight as a "felon", if applicable, while the courts take a decade to confirm the laws passed were obviously illegal. Hope y'all in CO dont have to go down that road, but given the recent disregard for law and order, it would not surprise me to see these "laws" pass. But with the current court cases regarding the 2A pending to the SCOTUS, its a matter of time before freedom is restored.

The feel good arguments of preventing mass shootings or "gun violence" is just gas lighting problems that could be solved without taking away our rights. Dems choose not to solve issues in logical ways because it furthers their agenda, which is the real priority over rights and actual safety.

I don’t have a dog in this fight as I don’t live in CO, but this struck me as odd. Why wouldn’t you want to have an open discussion with someone who held a differing opinion?

Because I don’t want it to turn into a dumpster fire. Just trying to avoid the BS and put it out there for folks to take action.

 

[Dsnow9]

Thank you, will be making some calls and spreading the word.

 

[Cogreeny]

Seems like everyone gets this already, but just in case, is a state leg. thing, not a Congress thing.

You’re right. My mistake. Thanks

If you own a firearm you have to have liability Insurance? How is that “shall not be infringed”?

 

[HONEYBADGER]

They are trying to California Colorado. They will do it too.

I see the Hamas caucus in the Colorado legislature is hard at work for the people.

@Nick87 can correct me if I'm wrong, but if I remember right I brought up our situation with the assault weapons law we have in Illinois. I don't think I saw anything in this one about registering your current weapons but the list is pretty much identical. At that time I caught some grief about not getting excited, it will work it's way through in court, etc. Now here we are in YOUR state and look out! Sounds like NIMBY is at work here. All I can say is just wait. We're working on it, but so far it's still the law.

By the way. Like I said earlier, didn't see anything about registration in the quick look I took. I'll ask you this. Just HOW will they know if you already owned those guns and didn't do anything new? I figure I'm not the only one who thought of that. Someone will say they need a list. And before you say they can't do that, Illinois set the precedent. Others will follow after seeing what our leaders have gotten away with, for now at least.

Good luck. You'll need it.

I believe that is correct I haven't gotten excited about it either. To be honest I'm not even sure what it says anymore. IlI guess I'll just play dumb like the criminals.

Better it happens all at once instead of incrementally.

 

[longbow51]

Buy weapons, ammo and components. Pass them down. Vote for those who embrace the Constitution. Pretty simple.

N.R.A. probably slipped that in there to boost their insurance business. I hear they are hurting for cash.

 

[Knight.54]

So, A Browning BAR would fit in these definitions if it had the BOSS system.

Seems like a really broad brush they're painting with.

And my ruger mark IV pistol? .22

I traded all mine for a pink hat.

Which part or parts are incorrect?

• MASS SHOOTINGS ARE A SIGNIFICANT COMPONENT OF THE DISTINCTLY AMERICAN EPIDEMIC OF GUN VIOLENCE
• GUN VIOLENCE OF ALL TYPES ARE AN ONGOING AND GROWING THREAT TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY OF ALL COLORADANS
• IN RECENT YEARS, AMERICANS HAVE ENDURED AN UNFATHOMABLE AVERAGE OF MORE THAN ONE MASS SHOOTING PER DAY
• CONSISTENTLY, THE DEADLIEST MASS SHOOTING INCIDENTS IN THE UNITED STATES INVOLVED THE USE OF ASSAULT WEAPONS OR HIGH-CAPACITY MAGAZINES
• EVEN AS COLORADO HAS UNDERTAKEN CONCERTED COMMON15 SENSE EFFORTS TO DECREASE GUN VIOLENCE,COLORADO HAS STILL BEEN THE LOCATION OF SEVERAL MASS SHOOTINGS PERPETRATED WITH AN ASSAULT WEAPON
• WELL-KNOWN PLACES THAT SHOULD HAVE ONLY EVER BEEN KNOWN AS SITES SAFE FOR JOY, LEARNING, COMMERCE, AND CARE ARE INSTEAD FOREVER ASSOCIATED WITH TRAGEDY OF MASS SHOOTINGS PERPETRATED BY WEAPONS WHICH SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE FOR USE
• ASSAULT WEAPONS AND HIGH-CAPACITY MAGAZINES ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY USED IN PUBLIC MASS SHOOTINGS,
• THE TACTICAL FEATURES ON ASSAULT WEAPONS ARE NOT MERELY COSMETIC, AND THEY ARE NOT MINOR. THEY DIFFERENTIATE ASSAULT WEAPONS FROM OTHER FIREARMS BY ALLOWING A SHOOTER TO BETTER CONCEAL WEAPONS, MAKE IT EASIER TO FIRE A HIGH VOLUME OF AMMUNITION IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME WHILE MAINTAINING ACCURACY, MAXIMIZING CATASTROPHIC INJURY, AND PROVIDING EASE OF USE FOR LESS THAN EXPERT USERS.
• ASSAULT WEAPONS ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR SELF DEFENSE AND ARE NOT WELL-SUITED FOR HUNTING, SPORTING, OR ANY PURPOSE OTHER THAN MASS KILLING;
• THE FIREARMS INDUSTRY HAS SPECIFICALLY MARKETED ASSAULT WEAPONS AS TACTICAL, HYPER MASCULINE, AND MILITARY STYLE IN A MANNER THAT OVERTLY APPEALS TO THE VERY PEOPLE MOST LIKELY TO ACQUIRE SUCH WEAPONS AS A MEANS TO GAIN INFAMY AS A MASS SHOOTER;
• IT IS CRITICAL TO LIMIT THE PROSPECTIVE SALE OF ASSAULT WEAPONS AND ACCESSORIES, WHILE PERMITTING EXISTING LEGAL OWNERS TO RETAIN THE ASSAULT WEAPONS THEY CURRENTLY OWN
• BANNING ASSAULT WEAPONS LEADS TO A DROP IN MASS SHOOTINGS AND GUN MASSACRES. IN THE TEN YEARS THAT ASSAULT5 WEAPONS WERE LIMITED BY A FEDERAL BAN, GUN MASSACRES DROPPED DRASTICALLY, BY AT LEAST THIRTY-SEVEN PERCENT.CONVERSELY, AFTER THE FEDERAL ASSAULT WEAPON BAN EXPIRED IN 2004, GUN MASSACRES SKYROCKETED BY APPROXIMATELY ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-THREE PERCENT.
• FEDERAL PROHIBITIONS ARE NOT ALONE IN CURTAILING MASS SHOOTINGS. INDEED, STATE PROHIBITIONS OF ASSAULT WEAPONS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A LOWER LIKELIHOOD OF A MASS SHOOTING EVENT, LOWER LIKELIHOOD OF DEATH DUE TO A MASS SHOOTING EVENT, AND LOWER GUN DEATH RATES OVERALL
• THEREFORE, THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY DETERMINES THAT A BAN ON KNOWINGLY MANUFACTURING, IMPORTING, PURCHASING, SELLING, OFFERING TO SELL, OR TRANSFERRING OWNERSHIP OF AN ASSAULT WEAPON, CAUSING THE MANUFACTURE, IMPORTATION, PURCHASE, SALE, OFFER TO SELL, OR TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP OF ASSAULT WEAPONS IN COLORADO IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CITIZENS AND GUESTS OF OUR GREAT STATE

First two points are pretty easy to pick apart by looking at numbers… hyper masculine part isn’t a great argument… the not suited to hunting or sporting purposes is an awful argument as well. Lots of holes in this

It’s a tax on a right just like a voting tax… how progressive of them… basically guns are for the upper middle class and wealthy or you are a law breaker. Disgusting

That's why voting tax doesn't exist, I don't think that one will hold up when challenged.

Woodrow, Iman, Hernandez, Epps, it’s like our state is being run by the angriest self righteous theater kids and band geeks… it’s out of control
