Oh yeah?
I view elected representatives who fail to ABIDE BY AND UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF COLORADO AND THE UNITED STATES as violating their oath of office and as such should be removed from said office immediately.

You can sign up to testify for this today. From what I read the testimony must be about the possible financial impact of this bill and not the bill itself.
Sounds like it passed out of finance.
Here are some "highlights" from the hearing.

Courtesy of the Teller County Sheriff's Sounds like our elected officials didn't want to hear from law enforcement. Or anybody else who opposed their agenda.
The state is faced with a 1.2 billion budget shortfall. Sounds like the perfect time to fund a stupid licensing scheme because they hate certain people.
Teller County sheriff video is from 3/11 Judiciary committee meeting and needs to be spread far and wide.
These imperious arrogant fukking commie legislators need exposed and run out of the state. Their disdain for freedom and desire to rule over the citizenry is sickening.
If you're unarmed, you are a victim
Does a ccw permit come to play regarding classes for these stupid ass taxes (refuse to call them fees because they’re just a straight up tax paid to exercise our constitutional right)?
What’s the latest? Or more realistically when will this all be done with and I’ll just pay attention then.
Its on to the house floor next.
Schedule indicates house floor Thursday the 20th.

CO Gun Control Bill Update: SB25-003 advanced on 2nd reading in the House by a vote of 38-27. The bill has NOT passed yet. We're expecting a final 3rd reading vote on Monday. Many
@COHouseDem
reps came up to us and told us they KNOW this bill is crap, but they're too afraid to upset their party bosses. Dems were all over the place on Amendments. Plenty of reasons for them to vote NO on final passage. We've now got the weekend to pressure just 6 more to do the right thing and vote NO. Then we go to the Senate (again) if it comes to that. Well fought
@COHouseGOP
. WE ARE NOT DONE YET.
If you intend to pass another gun control law, there are certain common sense provisions to take under consideration:
First, is this law overly broad, vague, onerous, restrictive, arbitrary, capricious, or places an undue burden, in comparison to an average of other laws from the other 50 states?
Second, how many actual firearms experts have had opportunity to review the bill and point out possible errors of fact or unintended consequences?
Third, are penalties Draconian?
Finally, is the law so contemptuous that the average law abiding gun owner would choose to disregard or ignore it?
1-Yes, it is. We are forging a new path and that path has to cover a lot of ground.
2- Zero. This isn't about guns. It's about saving lives.
3-You bet they are. That's the point- to change the behavior of those that only understand punitive measures.
4- Let's hope so. Then we can not only lock them up but strip them of their so called Second Amendment "rights" at the same time.
I disagree it was Polis who's responsible. He did, and is doing, exactly what the majority that elected him wants him to do. Colorado was trashed by your fellow voters.
The left destroys everything it touches. Everything. Colorado is no different. Stevie Wonder could've seen this coming. Like Mike Rosen preached so often, the party is far more important than the person. Colorado is the perfect example to illustrate that.
Here's another reason: "Many @COHouseDem reps came up to us and told us they KNOW this bill is crap, but they're too afraid to upset their party bosses." Even if there was such a thing as a "good" democrat, they're not going to defy the party to vote against the party line, without party permission (ie: permissible sometimes if the party knows a bill will pass and they allow it to make the representative look good to constituents).
The democrat party is evil, plain and simple. They're gonna get their gun ban in Colorado, one way or another. It may not be this one, but they're gonna get it.
While I do agree, mostly, with your comments in that this thing called the Democratic party and their work on destroying out 2A rights, Gov Polis is a Democrat and the Governor.
So he is "part of their system" not separate from it.
Likewise, I agree, it isn't just one person behind these gun control laws. So it isnt really effective to focus distain or hatred solely towards one.
There are several house/Senators who have made it their "bread and butter" to introduce and push one worthless law after another.
But Gov Polis is the Gov and, in effect, the leader of the Dems in Colorado.
So yes, he does deserve having some of the frustration directed towards him.
I agree. The leftists groom their politicians from the time they begin their political careers to put the party before the constituents. With similarly crappy/onerous bills being pushed through the state assemblies in Washington, Oregon, New Mexico, and Illinois (those are off the top of my head) I wonder if this is a vetting process by "the bosses" to see who they will support/advance next year and in 2028.
This passed the second reading late Friday night.
It will pass the third...
Then go back to Senate to revote with the amendments.
It will pass.
Then what will happen is Polis wont sign it. It will go into law by default since he wont veto it. He can have it both ways. He didnt sign it into law so there is no attack there. He got his gun control.
It sounds like the amendments move implementation out for a year until sometime in summer of 2026.
Found these gems in the crawl space this weekend.

So wrong. 2A sticker was considered offensive in CO government
Not even close in the House (3rd Reading).Attachment 98516
Maybe saner heads will prevail in the courts.
Although I doubt it.

Well luckily (or unluckily) an August 2026 implementation date means I don’t have to spend as much money right now.
The couple of months have been expensive
For those who have Facebook. Rep. Ryan Armagost speaks to the effect of RMGO and Dudley Brown had on the final vote. The republicans had been working quietly with the more moderate dems, but Dudley being Dudley, threw a grenade into the fray and caused them to vote party line.

Right, wrong, or indifferent...
DEMS are very good at "party first" and going along with what the party bosses say.
REPS are very good at principle, individualism, limited government, and ideals. You know those American values in the and the Constitution.
But REPS are very bad at "party first" and doing as they are told by the bosses.
So in the end, which ends up with votes needed to push the agenda?
...is a loser in the Senate (with Amendments)19-15
I would be remiss if I did not quote the bill sponsor, Senator Julie Gonzales, as she spoke on the bill again today. "If you can't do it in 15 rounds, may I suggest... that maybe you shouldn't do it. That's all I'm sayin'."
In other words, SUCK IT COLORADO!
