You thought New York and California were bad when it came to unconstitutional firearm legislation. Don’t get me wrong. They are bad but Colorado may be the worst. Several things related to gun regulations are happening in Colorado. This is what happens when liberals take over a perfectly good state.
First, let’s talk about SB25-003. This law specifically attacks “Semiautomatic Firearms & Rapid-Fire Devices”
The enactment date for this new law is August 1, 2026. At which time, the manufacture, distribution, transfer, sale, and purchase of semiautomatic rifles or shotguns with detachable magazines and gas-operated semiautomatic handguns with detachable magazines are prohibited. Certain firearms, such as those designed to accept .22 caliber rimfire ammunition and specific listed models, are exempted. So you can still engage a group of home invaders by shooting them with a .22LR in self-defense. The goal of the Colorado legislature would appear to try and appease some semblance of the Second Amendment while making sure that the average citizen is rendered inefficiently armed and ultimately helpless. This law will effectively protect criminals and disarm Coloradans.
SB25-003 also requires the completion of:
- A hunter education course certified by the Division of Parks and Wildlife and, within 5 years before making the purchase, completed a basic firearms safety course,
- the completion of an extended firearms safety course within 5 years before making the purchase or
- the completion of an extended firearms safety course more than 5 years before making the purchase and completed a basic firearms safety course within 5 years before making the purchase.
The State of Colorado has even found a new way to create a registry of all those who have passed any of the required courses to be held by the Division of Parks and Wildlife. This is not a traditional gun registry because they know that’s illegal at the federal level, but a registry of those who would likely own firearms, essentially achieving the same result. Like the State of New York, Colorado has found a clever way of creating their own in-house gun owner registry at the state level.
Under this new law, Unlawful manufacture, distribution, transfer, sale, or purchase of a specified semiautomatic firearm is a class 2 misdemeanor and a second or subsequent offense is a class 6 felony. The department of revenue shall revoke the state firearms dealer permit of a dealer who unlawfully manufactures, distributes, transfers, sells, or purchases a specified semiautomatic firearm.
As if that wasn’t enough, three Democrats from Colorado, including Representative Steven Woodrow, Representative Elizabeth Velasco, and Senator Nick Hinrichsen, have decided to create a bill to spread anti-gun propaganda and further their narrative. The bill is called HB1225, “The Freedom From Intimidation in Elections Act.”
The bill makes it unlawful for an individual to:
- Intimidate, threaten, or coerce (or even attempt to Intimidate, threaten, or coerce) anyone in connection with voting or attempting to vote, Urging or aiding another person to vote, exercising duties related to election administration, such as vote counting, canvassing, and certification, and the individual’s role or status as a participant in the administration of elections (both past and present).
- The bill specifies that an individual who carries a visible firearm, imitation firearm, or even a toy firearm while interacting with or observing any of the specified election-related activities is presumed, in the absence of any affirmative showing to the contrary, to have engaged in intimidation prohibited by the bill.
This bill is very vague and leaves many openings for a judge to find an open carrier in violation. In short, this bill is nothing more than a way of making the public believe that gun owners are intimidating people when it comes to elections. The bill’s implication appears to be for the purpose of building a narrative that gun owners are using guns to threaten and coerce people to vote Republican. This, of course, is not true. It’s simply not happening, but by creating a law called “The Freedom From Intimidation in Elections Act,” the average person is led to believe that this is an actual issue. Otherwise, “why would legislation be needed?” The truth is, it’s not needed but appears to be very much wanted by Democrats to bolster their anti-gun narrative and garner support for more unconstitutional gun laws while simultaneously demonizing their political opposition.
Democrats not only create laws to restrict their political opposition from keeping and bearing firearms but often create bills and laws to further a false narrative and tarnish gun ownership. This appears to be one of those bills.
