Today was a day in Colorado where the battle for freedom was lost. Blacker than the finish on my S&W revolver, the 2nd Amendment was basically tossed out of the state. In addition, both the House and Senate ignored every bit of testimony from those that did not support their agenda to rid the state of guns.
The Democrat Senate is following the Democrat House and the Democrat Governor is expected to sign all seven anti-gun bills. All the bills have been voted on party line votes. Since the Democrats control all three branches of Colorado government, there was no way these would not pass.
Here is an example of the mentality... HB1229, written and passed by Colorado's Democrat majority on a party line vote, makes it an illegal transfer to give your gun to a licensed gunsmith for repair. How many law-abiding citizens will be injured or killed by back-alley gunsmiths who botch an illegal repair?
A key element of this bill is that you may not loan your gun to anybody which includes sending it back for warranty repair. You may not loan it to your spouse. Nobody. And, when you die, the gun may not be passed on to your heirs.
The limit on 10 rounds in magazines also passed the Senate vote on party lines.
The liability bill would hold both sellers and manufacturers liable for any wrongful use of a gun. The government believes they can get around the Federal Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act of 2005 that prevents manufactures and dealers from being held liable for crimes committed with their weapons. Passed on party line vote.
Full universal background checks also passed along a party line vote making even private sales or transfers requiring background checks -- even if you're selling/transferring to immediate family members. There is a 72 hour window for family member transfers.
The Concealed Carry restriction on College Campuses also passed on party line vote. Even though the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that colleges must allow concealed carry just a few months ago, the new legislation will nullify that ruling.
In another piece of legislation, Colorado citizens will now have to pay for their manditory background checks. Again, passed on party line vote.
The domestic violence bill that prevents anyone who is convicted of domestic violence or is the subject of a restraining order from possessing a firearm also passed on party line vote.
7 of 7 passed. The Senate changed the calendar and rules several times today to insure passage of the bills.
It looks like me and my company will join Magpul and relocate to another state that still supports the United States Constitution's 2nd Amendment.
