Bills in Colorado House to repeal gun laws enacted last year

[Holger Danske]

Chris Holbert and Steve Humphery are sponsoring the following bills

15-1009 To repeal ban on mags with capacity larger than 15
15-1050 Repeal background check on private transfers

There is an article on the Gazette, but I don't know how to link from my phone.

Please contact your elected officials in support of these bills.

Thank goodness they were smart enough to separate them into two different bills. All though I am not holding my breath that it will ever get passed Dickenlooper. I can always dream though.

I'm sure someone will come to their senses and attach this into a anti- abortion/ repeal legalized pot/ burn the flag/ legalize puppy torture combination bill that will be sure to die.

I can see a repeal of the magazine capacity limit law but here is where we get the old "political compromise", we repeal the capacity limit but we get to keep the back ground checks. These guys will make a deal, then go back on it later on if they get another solid majority in the state houses.

Politics = I lend you $20 and you give me back $10 and say we're even, we both lost $10.

It will be time to start the email and phone campaigns again!

Combining HB 13-1228 and -1229 gave the state a new revenue source which allowed them to divert tax based funding for CBI elsewhere. We aren't ever going to get these overturned.

I've got no issue with background checks. Just make it a web or phone app that people can use without getting a dealer involved. Return simple yes or no after the buyer fills out the form.

No issue with BG check??? B.S. Ridge!!!! C'mon man, use your head!! I have a real issue with backround checks. Anything on paper can be filed and used later to confiscate. If they did not want to use this as a means to confiscate later ask yourself why they need to know the serial number and the brand of gun on the forms in the first place if all that was intended was to find out about your backround. Wake up, of the two laws this was the worst. Mag law was not enforceable, neither was the BG check, but dumb gunowners self enforce this BG law on each other.

Besides that one movie, where has the 4473 been used to confiscate firearms?
