Notes from the Resistance
Colorado semiautomatic gun restriction bill one step closer to becoming law – Senate Bill 25-003 passed the Colorado House on Monday and heads to the Senate for another vote. If it passes, it would then go to Gov. Jared Polis’ desk [More]
Where the hell is SCOTUS?

“Forced to” means he had no choice.
“Well rules” notwithstanding, if he did it’s because he pussed out.
The latest version of Senate Bill-003 passed committee last Friday and threatens to change your way of life in Colorado. Under this bill, our: ● Sheriffs are permitted to require a DNA test from you to buy a gun. ● Parks and Wildlife Division will use money dedicated to hunting to fund expansive gun control schemes. ● Department of Revenue will be in charge of deciding which guns you can and can’t buy. [More]
Because of Democrat gun-grabber dominance, you have to ask yourself what ways are still open to resolve this peaceably in favor of the Second Amendment, and why those who could lead the way don’t appear to want to.

Like something out of the Gremlins movies, Senate Bill 25-003 was amended well past midnight to transform from a near all-encompassing semi-automatic ban into a permit-to-purchase scheme reminiscent of Illinois’ FOID cards. [More]
From a Rocky Mountain Gun Owners email:
Without any public testimony or stakeholders, radical anti-gun Senators changed SB-003 from an “Assault Weapons” Ban to the implementation of an Illinois-style Firearm Owner Identification (FOID) card! … Under this rebirthed version of SB-003, the weapons previously banned under this measure could only be purchased if gun purchasers, like you or I, voluntarily enter themselves into a statewide gun owner registry (fingerprints and all) maintained by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation!! … And worst of all the only way to obtain this permission slip is to pay out of pocket and spend hours at an anti-gun propaganda course from the government!
You know, just like the Founders intended.
And, of course, you’ll not need ammo for those guns we won’t let you have…
Colorado Democrats intend to bring you to heel.

EXPOSED: Outside the floor debate of SB25-003, bill sponsor Sen Tom Sullivan, harassed an individual from a Colorado gun rights organization who had left a box of petitions in his office from Sullivan’s own constituents, and he repeatedly called the petitions “trash”. [More]
It’s not just petitions Democrats call “garbage.”

Although the sponsors have attempted to sell this legislation as a bill that would “close a loophole in Colorado’s magazine capacity limit laws“, it took all of 90 seconds for gun owners and activists to realize this had nothing to do with magazines at all, but was instead a sweeping gun ban cloaked in lies, and once the complex and technical language was broken down, it became apparent how severe it was: worse than anything we have ever seen before. [More]
And when they get that, they’ll go after something else, because of course they’re talking about taking your guns.

It seems that State Sen. Marc Snyder of Manitou Springs was somehow confused when signed on as a cosponsor, and didn’t understand that the bill he was supporting to effectively ban the sale and manufacturing of guns, would effectively ban the sale and manufacturing of guns. [More]
Looks like his Fudd constituency expressed its displeasure.
No worries– there are still enough stupid and/or evil Democrats to pass the ban.

Gov. Jared Polis said Thursday night that a ban on the manufacture and sale of semiautomatic firearms with a removable ammunition magazine isn’t his preferred method of tackling gun violence, but he’s not fundamentally opposed to the idea. [More]
That’s a Democrat’s idea of “compromising” on guns.
When is SCOTUS gonna stop with the stalling and put an end to this clearly unconstitutional subversion?

SB25-003, Colorado’s newly filed “Assault Weapons” Semi-Auto Firearm bill will ban all rifles and shotguns that accept detachable magazines, along with many semi-auto pistols that accept detachable magazines. If enacted, the Colorado Attorney General would have the power and authority to further define the nuanced and often contradictory bill language. [More]
They’re just trying to help their goals along.

This:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

This Constitution…shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
It’s so weird– young people in Marx for Our Lives demanding that the government curtail their rights because they’re not mature and responsible enough to claim them.

“This is not a security threat,” Colorado’s Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold told 9NEWS Tuesday…We have layers of security, and out of just an abundance of caution, have staff in the field changing passwords, looking at access logs and looking at the entire situation and continuing our investigation.” [More]
Now that we’ve been caught…
I’m trying to conceive of a situation where this could happen either by accident or incompetence.

You’ll notice who the cowards haven’t tried to sue.
What are the chances Phillips will be able to recover costs and damages?
What are the chances he won’t be targeted for more harassment?
