Dems want Colorado Red Flag Law

[Great-Kazoo]

I believe Hick as a last hurrah will EO this if not enough votes for passage.

It has a pretty dim future in the Senate.

Let's hope it dies there as it should.

Don't count on it. One of the sponsors was Rep Cole Wist, a supposed Republican(Rino). I believe other R's in the house also voted for it. Several Republican talking heads(read Rino attys) have been supporting and promoting it.

hope you're all wrong.

We do too!

How long to the first time that the guy getting served goes postal? How long till someone who is truly deranged has their guns taken away and decides to show us all and drives through a crowd of people.

If someone is so dangerous that they shouldn't have guns, why would we want them driving around, having access to things like gasoline?

Ok, so here are some ways to help and not just gripe.

Type in your address, click on the link to your Senators website, they will have all of their contact information listed.

On my phone it took me about 5 minutes to send off a well worded, spell checked email to my district’s Senator.

It also might be nice to reach out to your Colorado House Representative and attempt to figure out how voted on HB 18-1436, if they voted in favor of the bill maybe send them some old dog poop, if they voted against maybe a gift card to one of the industry partners on this forum.

"I don't think it's any secret where the three members stand on that particular subject when it comes to the potential for gun confiscation without the proper due pricess." said Senate President Kevin Grantham.

"So I don't think it should be any surprise what happens to the bill once it goes through committre", Grantham added.

I used the RMGO link they sent and emailed all the republican and all the democrat senators. I got two canned "thanks for your email" responses from the republicans and then this from Angela Williams:

Thank you for reaching out regarding HB18-1436. While I know there have been concerns about infringing on 2nd Amendment rights and due process, I assure you that we have had a productive bipartisan Stakeholder process. The bill puts in necessary safeguards. That is why I will be supporting this piece of legislation.

Sincerely,

Colorado State Senator

Chair: Black Democratic Legislative Caucus

I didn't expect a reply, but I'm more annoyed that I got one with flat out lies in it- there are no necessary safeguards in this law.

**Update**
I just got this one from Owen Hill:

Dear friends,
Thank you for reaching out over the past week to share your thoughts on the Red Flag Bill, also knows as HB18-1436 Emergency Risk Protection Orders.

I have serious concerns about this bill, ranging from constitutionality and due process, to search warrants and protections for our veterans.

But I need your help.

During my vote, I would like to be able to share the thoughts of those who are opposed to this bill. Will you please forward this bill around and ask your friends and family to email me their thoughts so that I can share them?

My personal email address is owenjhill@gmail.com

This is time sensitive, because I expect the vote will occur in a few hours.

Thank you for your vigilance.

Warmly,
Owen

So email him your thoughts and give him some ammo!

The bill is essentially dead.

It has been sent to the state affairs committee and all three GOP members have said they will vote no.
