Congrats to the freedom loving americans in Colorado. Try and keep faith in our system. The day we let the fascists take our faith will be a black day indeed. Poor fools have no idea what may be in store for them if they get their way

Articles online today clearly stated "...Confiscate from those accused of violent domestic crime.." What was the real wording????

12 FIREARM OR AMMUNITION:
13 (A) NOT MORE THAN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS AFTER BEING SERVED

19 THE RESPONDENT DEMONSTRATES TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE COURT
20 THAT HE OR SHE IS UNABLE TO COMPLY WITHIN THE TIME FRAME SET
21 FORTH IN SAID SUBPARAGRAPH (I).

There are provisions that allow you to transfer the firearms to a FFL, law enforcement agency, or a person acceptable to the court but this must be done within the alloted time. There is no requirement that FFLs or law enforcement agencies accept the firearms.

I certainly hope cases are being filed immediately to challenge it.
a sticky web...

I guess I'm going to have to buy a couple of 10 round magazines for my SW9VE. If I continue to use my 16 round magazines, I will be a felon.....no?
I'm still trying to understand these new laws.
I'm still trying to grasp the stupidity of this group of legislators.
I'm still trying to grasp why today I'm fine.....but tomorrow I will be a felon, unless I throw away my perfectly good clips......is that even going to be legal.....throwing them away? What if a criminal finds them in the trash.......shouldn't I destroy them?
Shouldn't I destroy all my guns?
That's really what they want, and these laws are just more steps in that direction.
I'm pretty disappointed that so many Americans have turned into passive wimps.
I hope Idaho will stay free.......got my eye on some land there.

Douk, from what I understand, anything in your possession before the law takes effect is still legal. However, they are non-transferable.

hayexsb....I heard something like that as well. The bill is it to punish the manufacturer and retailers and drive them out of Colorado.

So I can keep my clips, I just can't make them, sell, or transfer them?
I can bring clips in from another state, or buy them online, or I might get lucky and find them, say in the trash? Thrown out because the owner could not transfer them to his son or daughter?

I guess I'll try to find a copy of the final version of this bad bill.
I can't keep up with all this poor over legislation that the Dems are doing.

Canada is backing off on their gun laws because they didn't do any good. I know that comes as a total surprise. Apparently a large portion of the population ignored the laws. Several grass roots organizations came together and some politicians became unemployed.

Just saying.

This article says they are still legal if you owned them prior to the ban.

I can't keep up either. The article is also saying that we need to vote on this, not let them make laws for us.

Weird. I watched a video today where a CO Dem Senator said, in so many words, that he doesn't listen to his constituents opinions and does what he wants to do. Time to vote him out.

A whole lot of them needs to find a new job.We must not for get who they are and remember to vote vote vote until we have a lot of politicians who have the same mind sets we have.
