2A ALERT for COLORADO: CO AWB advanced to committee. Now passed Senate heading to House..

If this passes it could be in effect for years while it works it's way to the Supreme Court as the lower courts play games and slow roll the appeals process (this is currently how things are done in the 9th Circus). The Supreme Court does not seem to be in a hurry at all to deal with 2nd Amendment cases at the moment as they have two perfect cases (Snopes and Ocean State Tactical) that they are still sitting on. They have already conferenced on these cases twice with no grant of Cert, so that even if the Supreme Court grants Cert at tomorrow's conference we won't get an opinion until 2026.

Good luck to you all fighting for your rights in Colorado!

Just like a black mold infestation. Leftist filth incubating and developing spores in the miasma of their cities, then dispersing into formerly clean places until they too are rotten and condemned.

CO and WA are possibly two of the most important cornerstones of 2025's RKBA fight so far. A semiauto ban and a mandatory liability insurance. Two purely predatory pieces of legislation designed to knock the community onto their knees. On a few other boards, they are saying that CO's vote is hanging on one Democrat right now and that up to two Democrats may have turned. If that is the case, we just need one more Dem who can be persuaded to stop this clusterfuck at least for his/her own career's sake so they do not look like absolute tards when an allied GRO lawsuit is filed in retaliation as it will most definitely be filed if this shit passes.

If they can be convinced by enough eloquent and to-the-point speakers on our side on Tuesday, we can put this nonsense to rest right there. These Dems need to be informed that going to the higher levels of court might mean that their other gun related past wins might be challenged and tossed. An appeal to their self interest instinct might work to get a couple more to wisen up and turn.

I don’t believe politicians make decisions by using of morals or ethics. They avoid personal negative results, like the publishing of pictures of wrongdoings, or
the generous funding of their opponents. This is the reality of humanity.

There are plenty of us here sending emails and making calls, seemingly to no avail. Are there plenty of CO gun owners that are lazy as shit, of course there are. The last AWB got shut down and hopefully this one will too. Im not sure what else to do but spread awareness. Ive talked with a few smart folks that think with the Dems bench being so weak Pole-us has his sights set on the presidency and he wont sign it because its too radical. As they saw with Harris, that far left is going out of style quick. I can only hope this is true but I somehow doubt it.

I've literally called everyone and emailed everyone including polis himself. Know how many relies I have received as of this message, absolutely zero.

This is past the soapbox, ballot box and we all know what comes after that sadly.

And if it passes polis can just not do anything with it and claim himself free and clear. He has to actually veto it if it passes.


They also want to turn hunting and fishing over to a group of scientists versus the CPW. The same scientists that brought wolves back here. So there goes hunting in this state if that occurs.

The USSC usually rules based on a very specific set of details pertaining to that case. Change some detail and the verdict can be challenged. Also, because it's not enforced, they don't care. Just pass it and let it get tied up in court. Therefore, donations to both sides. Cha-ching.

I was just speaking with a friend a few minutes ago. The Utah brother of one of his neighbors had closed on a house in CO. There were a couple of minor items found on the inspection. Instead of having them repaired he cancelled the purchase. Said it was because of the CO AWB. It begins.

Thank you,

Sadly, this was about what I already assumed. So, the question is, how do we solve this issue?

Will CO be ground zero for the beginning of the next evolution? Ha! We really do have to find a way to fix this stuff.

Here's the bill regarding hunting in CO that's trying to be pushed through also. They are literally trying to ban everything here.

Same same. I left a VM for polis that he needs to veto it, but I doubt it will work.

Yep. Ban everything except sucking dick.

Right now there are a multitude of bills in the pipeline. The Democrats, sensing a change in the country, are going scorched earth, not unlike Biden (and his handlers) in their last hurrah. Here's a link to a local gun rights group that identifies the bills and gives context and status of each. Most are dubious, at best, with respect to both the US and Colorado Constitution. As Doc alludes, should many of these actually make it into law, together they would create an environment where the lawful possession and use of firearms in the state would essentially be "just to tough to do".

As well as the representatives, I have contacted FOX and Newsmax asking them to look at this link. Maybe, in light of Bondi tramping the ATF counsel, a court finding some states' FOID law unconstitutional, Trumps 2A Executive order and Kash looking into how the FBI has been run, this, as a story of Democrat overreach, might get some traction. There's a couple more to contact but the day is young. Contact info is on their website.

We vote hard to keep our rights and freedoms but the public narrative is controlled by Denver Democrat messaging and media control. As abn mentions the halls are closed to the press. Youtube does have a constant feed for those that have the time to live for this.

Silent asked the most pertinent question, ".....how do we solve this issue?". I don't have that answer. I'm just an old, fat, bald guy that likes guns. I dug enough holes to finally get to Colorado, build a nice spot and retire, almost perfect then. Now I don't know if I have another move in me so my path will be to continue to call and email. There is a way to Zoom testify I'm looking into. I try to get news people outside the state to look at what's going on to spread the word. As in 2013 there are actually some recall efforts in the works, but although three were recalled those laws are still valid.

Colorado is a destination state for many people. I believe those people learning what the Democrats are trying to do might affect their decision to visit and spend money. It will take nonslanted, out of state news to inform them. Money will sway Denver Democrats more than votes.

I would ask the members reading this to call and write. Let "them" know you're considering visiting a different state and tell them why. Contact the non MSM news agencies and ask them to report on the gun control push in Colorado, include the RGMO link or another with the same information. Try to generate interest. Bring it up in conversations with friends.

Got long winded again. Sorry. I'll stop now.

Thank you,
