Gun Control Bills before Senate Committee, Monday 4 March

[MarkCO]

SB 195--CCW training...Only prohibits On-Line training. Nothing to see here.
SB 196--Assault Weapons Liability act...These types of laws are designed only to impair law abiding citizens.

I plan on going after my morning deposition...hope it is short.

I was just going to say, 196 is not a ban, it's a ridiculous liability act... Does this pretty much make CO Castle Doctrine null and void?

There is a provision for home defense in the bill. Problem with the bill is that it is completely unconsititutional (Yeah, I know what they think about the constitution). The issue of liability is for the "trier of fact" within the court system. Bills attempting to place liability onto persons by law have in large part failed. Mandatory sentencing, penalties, etc. can be legislated provided the "trier of fact" finds liability. Another bill that really stands no chance and if passed will cost Colorado jobs, businesses and money to fight it. Complete waste of paper and time at this point, but the utter ignorance of the law and the constitution as well as the total lack of leadership by the Dems is disgusting.
