HB 23-1230 aka "Assault weapons" ban

[eddiememphis]

This will pass easily and Polis will sign it into law. It will then make its way through the court system to determine constitutionality.

The other "lesser" bills- waiting period, raise age of purchase, etc.- will also pass.

Then watch for the leftist to rewrite the criteria for concealed carry. Likely a huge fee increase and high reapplication fees. The necessity for classroom learning will be greatly increased from 4 hours to 16, probably necessary at every renewal. The duration of permit will be cut from 5 years to 2 or 3.

This will place a burden on many permit holders in the hope that most will stop carrying (and endangering honest citizens) because the permitting process is too expensive and time consuming.

The next step would be the need for a license to possess in your own home.

This may sound absurd and unlikely to pass in the next two years but look how fast they have moved on the current legislation. When the "assault weapons" ban passes, it will take effect in June.

No. I wont.

SECTION 3. Effective date. This act takes effect upon passage.
SECTION 4. Safety clause. The general assembly hereby finds, determines, and declares that this act is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety


This one isnt June. They are saying this is an "emergency" and doesn't have the normal implementation time.

That is why gun stores will be out of business before courts intervene. The law will go into effect, then it can be challenged. In the mean time gun stores are SOL with selling. How many can last a few weeks or months without selling firearms?

Not that I agree with this garbage or the people who are sticking it to us without the courtesy of lube, but this doesn?t mean gun stores can?t sell firearms. It just means they can?t sell certain, specific firearms.

The Gun Room in Lakewood or Colorado Gunsport in Boulder = Not Catastrophic

Westminster Arms or Warrior Tactical in Longmont= Catastrophic

what you are saying is someone true but misleading.

Scheels, cabellas, sportsman?s have a high percentage of ?hunting rifles?

Now go into the small shops. Basically most of their inventory (and customers) are pistols and modern sporting weapons. They don?t really generally sell to the ?Hunter crowd?

You will see most of these gone fast.

The national chains. They will ship inventory out of state and t-shirt and candy sales will make up for the lack of MSR sales?
