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.
