They come right out of the gate stating "We support the second amendment, but..."
They support everything the left supports. Maybe even more. So much for "center."
The Colorado Center party's position on "Gun violence" (https://coloradocenterparty.org/issues/gun-violence/):
================================================== ========
The Center Party supports the 2nd amendment, but laws defining what is legal to
be possessed and by whom needs to be clarified and strengthened.
Whereas training and awareness of gun safety is an important element to keeping
everyone safe;
Be it resolved that the Center Party supports professional gun safety training
shall be required of every gun purchaser.
Be it resolved that the Center Party supports allowing the instructor to render
an evaluation during training of the owner's fitness to own a gun.
Whereas many shootings have been perpetrated by individuals who were under 21 and
were not emotionally mature enough to own a gun;
Be it resolved that the Center Party supports the minimum age requirement of
21 to purchase a gun (not possess). People under 21 with appropriate
supervision can possess a gun for hunting or work requirements.
Whereas many shootings are committed by people in emotional distress or heat of the
moment impulses;
Be it resolved that the Center Party supports a waiting period for gun
purchases from any source (commercial or private sale) to allow for proper
background checks and inhibit impulse buys by those in short-term mental
distress.
Whereas many shootings are perpetrated by mentally unstable people and are known
to be a prior threat by friends, family, local law enforcement, licensed mental health
professionals, licensed educators, district attorneys and government agencies;
Be It resolved that the Center Party supports Red Flag laws, also known as
high-risk protection orders, which require prompt enforcement of Red Flag
laws if a threat is perceived by family, friends, local law enforcement, licensed
mental health professionals, licensed educators, district attorneys and
government agencies.
Be it resolved that the Center Party supports requiring timely due process for
those that are impacted by the Red Flag Law.
Whereas many large gun purchases are straw purchases used for illegal activity;
Be It resolved that the Center Party supports limiting the quantity of guns that
can be purchased in a year.
Whereas Assault Rifle (AR) style weapons are the weapon of choice for mass shootings
because they are more lethal;
Be it resolved that the Center Party supports prohibiting the sale or transfer of
AR style weapons. Existing AR style gun owners can keep their weapon, but
it shall be illegal to sell or transfer ownership to another person. Improper
use, criminal conviction, or death of the owner will result in forfeiture of the
weapon to authorities.
