Easy way to contact representatives.

Got a mail out from Lamborn w/ a detachable post card. In the extra comments section I mentioned this bill.
It will pass. Its the best thing and the least amount of work to shut up the pro 2nd amendment crowd.
Here is another piece of reality for you , suppressors are considered dangerous weapons under Colorado law ,

and the NFA transfer is considered an affirmative defense which allows the possession of them , no NFA equals no affirmative defense and suppressors are now prohibited . Ain't reality grand .

There is a part at 1:10 that says it would remove a tax and record keeping from states. That might be a start to removing it as a dangerous weapon.
There is no tax or record keeping at the state level in Co and there is no preemption clause in the bill , the law will have to change at the state and local level also .
The state will have to change the law and then deal with all the law suits from the municipalities because of the state level preemption law that is on the books here . What do you think are the chances of Denver and most of the metro area not throwing a fit about suppressors being non regulated , they don't like it the way it is now .
The concept behind the bill is good but the execution is crap . And the end result here is be careful what you wish for when you don't do the research and may end up worse than when you started . So take it with a grain of salt when your representative says they support this because you can be certain they know what the CRS says and the end result of the bill passing .
