Sorry folks, not going to read 26 pages and counting on the forum...
So, are the universal background checks and hi-cap magazine laws look like they are going to pass or be defeated?
Please tell me good news...!

They were guaranteed to pass before they hit committee. But I appreciate the resistance put forth by the people who showed up opposing today. This is too good for too many political careers - it's an easy PR storm to cash in. Colorado turned California years ago.
UBC passed committee with a 7-4 party line vote. No other votes have been taken.

Not sure yet, but I would recommend picking up whatever you want now. The current Colorado 4473 isn't as invasive as I once thought (thanks to some info from FFL forum members), and there's still plenty of decent deals to be had on Armslist and on the forum here. UBC's will be tantamount to registration and will undoubtedly tie your SSN to the SN on the gun.
If they do pass it and do manage to keep their jobs come election time. Then Colorado is lost.
Thanks for starting this thread.
I didn't wanna read all that either.
Do we have anymore info other the UBC's??
I second this motion!! We're doomed!![Mad]Quote:

Yes. House education committee hears HB 1226 tomorrow. Also house finance hears HB 1228 about paying for our own background checks tomorrow.Quote:

Can anybody show up and talk?Quote:

I'm not giving up, giving in, or conceding yet, but has anyone read the wording of the mag capacity legislation? I assume if it passes Brownell's will not ship me my P229 15-rnd mags I ordered months ago- but will I be able to keep my factory magazines that came with my firearm?

Moving is not set in stone- it hinges on a lot of factors... plus with a new GF she has already said she's not cool with living in MT or ID... Sorry Carl, looks like we might not get to be neighbors. [Coffee]Quote:

I have high capacity magazines. Come get them, I will be kind enough to empty them upon arrival.
^THIS^ AFUCKINGMEN. That "cold dead hands" theology made an impact on me as a kid, and is still in the forefront of my convictions.Quote:

My hope is that 2 of the Democrats on the approprations committie will see fit to kill both hb 1224 and hb 1228 will die in said committie. I have written my rep and senator and spoke with my rep in person. If you are able (I know how life can get busy) go down and speak to your rep and senator face to face. If not letters and emails get the point accross too. And don't be afraid to talk to other reps also just because you don't live in their district dosn't mean you don't have a right to voice your opinion. Let's kill these bills before we have to challenge them in courts.
When they kick out your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun
When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting in death row
You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, Guns of Brixton
Please replace "Brixton" with "Colorado" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiQoq-wqZxg Love the F'in Clash...
That or West NJ will work. 15 rnds makes it more like NJ then CA.Quote:

Without starting a new thread:
HB 1228 Tax on gun purchases.
So I really don't have any more items I "need" to purchase and will probably just boycott the tax by not purchasing anything If I can help it. If everyone does this, will CBI layoff folks that they cannot pay for?
Just thinking out loud I guess.
way it is written they will raise the fees if not generating enough to pay for CBI. Don't worry, nobody will lose their job...Quote:

Measure passes

I spoke with my Rep (D-Tochtrop) for about 25 minutes today. She seems fairly down to earth and fairly moderate in her views. She did state that she didn't feel that there have been enough objective discussions on the subjects and did state Fields has had her proposals drafted for quite a while. She also stated that she and her colleagues are concerned about the levels of extreme opinions on either side of the subject. She gave me the impression that she would support the background checks and firearm purchasers paying for BGC.
She did agree with me that a mag ban would accomplish nothing and said she is unsure on campus carry.
Not what I wanted to hear really but at least a fairly honest answer and she does seem to view the subject somewhat objectively.
Unfortunately I cannot make tomorrow at the Capitol.
If you can go, please do. A show of numbers makes a compelling point.
too bad. I'm still doing without the best I can.Quote:
