Bill will be introduced to repeal limitations on high capacity magazines HB 16-1024

[kidicarus13]

I doubt it'll go anywhere but at least it hasn't been forgotten about.

[roberth]

I'm certain dudley's people will vote against it.

[Hound]

Who did it. I want to remember him/them.

[milwaukeeshaker]

Please,please, someone introduce a bill to get rid of the backround check baloney.

[Robb]

I was wondering about this when I heard they were back in session. Can BGC's go away now that they're part of an Executive Order at the Fed level? I'm really hoping and praying we can get rid of the mag ban.

[Zundfolge]

If I had to choose getting rid of the UBGC or the mag ban I'd get rid of the UBGC ... but honestly the mag ban will be an easier sell.

I'm not so sure- the mag ban being repealed could be seen as acknowledging that inanimate objects are not to blame, and good people should be allowed to have them.

but the UBGC is acknowledgement that there are people that should not have guns- reinforces there are evil people (or people overcome by evil), but guns are not evil on their own.

I don't like the UBGC law- I don't think they work at all, the feds don't have jurisdiction over a private transaction within a state's borders- and the state shouldn't regulate free men... I'm not sure they have the authority either... but here we are.

Please don't spread this mis-information. They are not part of any executive order, but I saw the same bullshit in a couple news articles.... the only thing obama's order did was attempt to increase the number of people who the ATF considers "in the business" and therefore need an FFL to operate. For private sellers selling/trading their own guns, the order did not mandate any background checks.

I'm sure Obama WANTED to do universal background checks by executive order, this gimmick was the closest he could get... lets not help give him what he wants by spreading false info.

[SamuraiCO]

It is maddening how the left wants us to agree to "sensible gun laws" but never agree to give anything back. Obola was not out there stating he had States and Cities ready to allow universal CCW from one state to another and no restrictions for ownership of firearms, types, magazine sizes for the universal background check. Always one step back and never give anything.

[rock_castle]

It seems like someone introduces a bill in every legislative session to repeal the mag ban but it never makes it out of committee.

[TFOGGER]

The Dems decide which bills go to which committee, since they are in the majority. Bills that they don't want to see the floor go to the kill committee. Usually, in the House it's State, Veterans, and Military Affairs.

[JamesB]

I'm certain dudley's people will vote against it.

RMGO helped draft HB 16-1024 and definitely does support it.

For all the talk, thus far no one in the General Assembly, Republican or Democrat, is running a bill to alter the magazine capacity limits without repealing them altogether, as Jon Caldara suggested last year. If there were such a bill then RMGO could take a position on it. But there isn't.

You guys hear about this? Any chance?

I am in Sue's district and see her at the town halls. I doubt she will be much help but will put in my two cents to her. Anybody else want to join they are pretty good around here for town halls at the Smokey Hill Library at 11AM on the second Saturday of each month. The more that show the better. Make sure to be nice. We had a couple back in 2013 where the frustration was understandable but did nothing to help our cause.

I would personally agree. However, I am a 30-something with all of the un-restricted magazines I could ever need. What do you say to the 18 year old that wants to be in your shoes?

Would you rather him or her to have to jump through a few hoops and be restricted on his gun purchases from sellers that won't remove a 15+ magazine from his or her purchase? And would you prefer that he or she could buy a decent rifle and be restricted in their magazine size?

I'm personally good to go where I am. I don't REALLY need any private purchases and I certainly don't need any more magazines... although I would like to go back to a time when I could do both.

But if I was thinking about the 'up and comers' and not myself, I would go for the mag ban first and the UBGC second.

Agreed. This is so ridiculous. Every transaction on here is such a pain. Used to be meet up and buy and sell whatever you want at some halfway point. Now we gotta figure out a business somewhere with cheap transfer fees that fits into schedules. Law abiding citizens being punished as always.

Su Ryden voted against passage last year for repeal of the magazine ban and the private sale background check, when they were before the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs committee. Her track record is definitely anti-gun. However that doesn't mean it isn't worth while to ask her to knock it off. More than likely there will be an all day "gun bill day" before that committee, where they will consider bills for constitutional carry, repeal of the magazine ban and carry on school grounds.

[Skip]

Thanks for the merge. Didn't see this thread because I was looking for the bill number.

If the opposition wanted to be reasonable they should seriously consider this. The mag ban has saved 0 lives and even Rapsheet Rhonda had to lie to get it passed. But they don't want to be reasonable, they want to gut 2A.

Had heard about that too. Interesting. Ultimately I don't that will matter because the states can spend taxpayer dollars defending these "laws" like NY did with the unSAFE Act. If the legal fees spent defending unConstitutional laws came out of the campaign funds of the party that passed them a lot of things would change.

[Hound]

I think we are in agreement

Won't happen... As Colorado begins to look more like California, the beach begins to look better than the mountains. A bit dramatic I know, but it's becoming the reality of the situation.

Only if the beach you're talking about is in Texas, Florida, or South Carolina. Bad as Colorado is getting, it's better than New Jersey, California, Oregon, Washington, or even Virginia.

And now some people may finally begin to understand the true purpose and push for Amendment 64. If a D was elected or retained before, they are going to stay elected or retained now.

Enjoy your bread and circu... err, weed everyone. Enjoy your weed.

I would have thought that by now, we would have seen some Amendment to repeal the weed thing. It has been a few years now and we are starting to see some of the unintended consequences. Am curious if the vote would go a different way. Sure you have the hard core stoners that will vote for it no matter what, but where they won was with the average Joe who was on the fence. As it was sold, it was basically limited to people doing it in their own residences where it does not affect others. Now that we have homes and apartments exploding around the state every few days, and rentals being turned into grow houses you might see those swing voters go a different way. Just a few days ago when I stopped at WalMart off Arapahoe road and there was a couple folks smoking up in a car in the parking lot.

You want to try and take this state back, your first step is getting rid of the things that make our state attractive to lefty leaning types.
