How do we get this law in Colorado?

[Hoosier]

Hawaii passes a brilliant law. Sad that it's required, but beautiful idea to lay out in advance. Anyone know how to get a bill through the Colorado Congress and signed by the Governor? RMGO?

The problem with Hawaii isn't that they'd take the guns, it's that the populace has to jump through hoops to get them. I'll take the guns I have over some law that says they can't take them from me if I meet all their requirements to get them in the first place.

How do we get it? Simple, get behind every Republican nominee for the State Legislature and Governor. Support who you will during the caucus season but once we pick one you have to get out there and vote for them. Makes it a lot easier than dealing with a liberal controlled Leg and Gov.

Now that we have a Republican governor here in AZ everything is flying through and getting signed. For example, constitutional carry (no ccw required), firearms manufactured here aren't subject to fed laws, SB1070, etc etc etc.

To the best of my knowledge we already have it here. At least that's what I heard from the Firearms Coalition of Colorado.

I find it odd because I thought Hawaii was a pretty libtard state...

But a good idea.

+1 to sixgun, I also have that law in my house

The only real issue I see here is the requirement to jump through different hoops to ensure you are "legal". With all of that, when SHTF will they have access to the records to prove that the firearms are, in fact, legal? Let's look at Katrina. Access to records of that sort woldn't have been available to anyone - local, state, or federal.

Are we to assume that the government will err on the side of the person in psssession of the firearm, or will they confiscate the weapon with a promise to return it if everything is found to be in order at a later time?

As others have stated, the 2nd Amendment is supposed to be enough to protect us from that very thing.

Colorado does not have any statutory provisions to stop the Governor from restricting/regulating the seizure of arms during an emergency. So it's up to interpretation -- which means, during an emergency, a Governor could do as he wants.

State Senator Scott Renfroe ran a bill in 2010 to change a portion of Colorado law regarding this. The bill died in the Senate Judiciary Committee, but here it is: http://www.rmgo.org/alerts/2010-billwatch.shtml

RMGO members were notified of it.
