View Full Version : CO Gun Grabbers' Facebook pages
I see a lot of comments posted on this site that would probably be better posted at some of the people who are actually putting this legislation together. There are conversations on their pages and I would say they are about 50/50 on these gun issues. If nothing else, it may get some of these people to think a little deeper about what they are doing and the path they are going down when they start changing around the Constitution.
These are the two aiming to ban high cap mags but show up on several other pieces of legislation also.

These two are basically trying to kick Magpul out of the state and again show up on several pieces of legislation.

The Four above are most involved in multiple measures and seem to have the most put-together pages.
These two are also fairly involved with the anti gun legislation.

Again, I see a lot of great arguments here but pep rallys don't win football games, actually taking it to the other team is where you win. Be polite and use common sense.
Oh and here is the proposed legislation with the people involved in parentheses.
Assault Weapon Responsibility Act -- (Senate President John Morse, Representative Beth McCann)
This bill will create strict liability for manufacturers, sellers, owners, and possessors of firearms, with the exception of handguns, bolt action rifles and shotguns.
Firearm Background Check Modernization Act – (Representative Rhonda Fields, Representative Beth McCann, Senate Majority Leader Morgan Carroll)
This legislation will require background checks for all gun buyers, regardless of how they acquire their guns. The bill also includes provisions to enhance the real-time sharing of mental health data between state and federal agencies; and a provision to allow individuals denied access to firearms to appeal those denials.
High-Capacity Magazine Ban – (Representative Rhonda Fields, Senator Mary Hodge)
This bill will ban the sale, transfer, and ownership of all new ammunition feeding devices (magazines, strips, and drums) capable of accepting more than 10 rounds, after the enactment date of the bill. Additionally, it will prohibit the sale or transfer of large-capacity ammunition feeding devices lawfully possessed on the date of enactment of the bill.
Mental Health Support – (Representative Beth McCann)
The bill directs mental health professionals to notify the CBI if in their professional capacity they conclude that a person poses a danger of serious physical harm to self or others. CBI would then place that person's information into the Insta-background check database so that the person would not be able to purchase a gun. Additionally, the bill would direct that an individual be assessed by a mental health professional for danger to possess a firearm at the time of release from civil commitment, if that commitment was for dangerousness. If the person is assessed dangerous to self or others, the mental health professional would notify CBI so that the person would be flagged in the system. The bill provides an opportunity to have gun rights restored to individuals through the courts.
Domestic Violence Safeguards – (Senator Evie Hudak, Representative Beth McCann)
The bill will strengthen the protections in our laws to prevent those who have domestic violence convictions, or protective orders issued against them, from possessing firearms. This will help protect victims of domestic violence from further violence by clarifying state statute to comply with federal regulations and ensure those already convicted of a domestic violence crime, or who have a protective order against them, cannot access weapons.
In-Person Training for Concealed Carry Permits -- (Senator Lois Tochtrop, Representative Jenise May)
The legislation specifies that concealed carry permit holders, who are not exempt from training, must undergo training in-person. It prohibits training from being done online.
Closing the Background Check State Subsidy – (Representative Lois Court, Senator Rollie Heath)
This bill would end an existing state subsidy and could reduce wait times by requiring individuals to pay for their own background checks from the CBI -- which cost about $10.
Campus Safety – (Representative Claire Levy, Senator Rollie Heath)
This bill clarifies that concealed carry is prohibited in most areas on college campuses in Colorado, including stadiums and arenas, to help keep our young people safe and our college campuses secure from violence.

Posted the following on their walls:
Hello.
Just a quick note, hoping to help some common sense gun control legislation:
Criminals and mentally disturbed people will not care about new laws, that is why they are called Criminals and Mentally Disturbed People .
New laws mean something only to Law Abiding Citizens, and we are not the people the governement should worry about because, you know, we follow the law.
Now that is common sense...
Hope it helps.

It looks like the politicians have stopped posting but there is still traffic of people voicing opinions.
Let them know how you feel! This is them putting their thumb in the air to see which way the wind is blowing.
