Does Colorado law dictate what dealers can charge for private sale transfers?

No.. the law as passed requires that background checks be performed on all private sales of firearms. The fee and the $ amount is for the background check itself. The law and the cbi did not create a system where a seller could perform their own background checks so you are required to go to an FFL to perform the transfer of ownership. You pay the state a controlled amount of $$ for the background check fee and then you pay the dealer for the service $$ of the transfer service.

Should we be upset about which laws the state chooses to enforce, when we're directly benefiting from others that they don't choose to enforce?

A law that is not enforced should be nullified.

As well as the politicians who propose such laws.

Each legislator is allowed to introduce 5 bills. Most politicians are seeking re-election or further offices. In order to do that, they must get publicity as fast as they can. So, they see their duty as they must introduce 5 bills and get them in front of the public.
Fortunately, most of the bills die in Committee or do not pass.
But, given the volume of the legislation, the inattention of most politicians to anything beyond their own interests, and lack of publicity; a lot of laws get passed that all have unintended consequences.
I don't have the answer to resolving this conundrum, and I haven't seen any political systems that are better.
You would have to change human nature.
