"Assault weapons" ban

[DDT951]

That is true. The end of the legislative session is what killed the 2023 version even more than committee, to be fair.

They aren't however starting from scratch, but if the senate argues to modify a single thing, it's effectively dead.

My guess is Polis wants this to go away.

This is a way to kill it without killing it…. This year….

It will be back next year. And the next year.

Since Commiefornication occurred… it’s just a question of time… and it’s running out for you…

So now we can't even get a gunsmith to thread a barrel for a suppressor? Why ban 50BMG is it a highly used round with gangs and criminals? Makes no sense.

It makes perfect sense if the goal is to disarm Americans.

They said last year that this is a 3-5 year agenda. They will likely pass most of the really bad shit this year, get their gestapo network in place with the CBI expansion bill, and save the AWB for next year in a non-election year, which is the best we can hope for at this point. It's going to suck for sure because we won't be able to to get parts, replacement barrels or much of anything. SB66 and SB3 turns everything into cash sales in CO; that really sucks.

You mean for a pistol, right? I read somewhere about muzzle brakes being banned too- but is that for semi autos or all guns?

And where does the parts thing come in?

I moved to AZ almost 8 years ago. I have to unfortunately come back to Colorado once a month to see clients. I grew up in Colorado and loved it but it has turned into such a shit hole over the last 20 years on so many levels. This type of legislation makes me so grateful that I bounced out of there. Hopefully this stalls in the Senate but they are relentless and this feels like it is getting closer. I am sure it will come up again next session even if it does fail. Meanwhile, I will be making legal private party transfers in a shopping mall parking lot near me down here.

There's almost enough COAR folks in AZ for meetup nowadays.

And where does the parts thing come in?

In the definition of Assault Weapon on page 11 lines 9-11 of the reengrossed bill, they state any part or combination of parts intended to assemble an assault weapon in the definition of assault weapon, which is prohibited from manufacture, import, purchase, sale, or offer to sale in 18-12-603. All specific parts associated with any firearm that meets the definition will be prohibited from sale in Colorado such as barrels fitted with a barrel extension, handguards, grips, receiver extensions, buffers, stocks, FCGs, triggers, BCGs, LPKs, ect.

Edit: The first question wasn't directed to me, but I thought I would answer it. It is a qualifier characteristic for both semi-auto pistols and rifles. Muzzle brakes are not banned, but one on a semi-auto pistol or rifle would make it an "assault weapon" if all the other qualifiers didn't...lol.

What is the difference between a muzzle brake for a .308 bolt action and an AR-10?

How can you tell the difference between 5/8-24 threaded muzzle brake if it goes on a bolt action or semi auto ?

The ill-defined restrictions are either bugs or features, depending on viewpoint.

Like stated before, this is not targeted at criminals. It is intended to make the patriotic citizen "gun culture" a relic of the past. Sure, you can buy a traditional hunting rifle or handgun, for now. I am sure Tiny Tim Hernandez's minders already have plans.

It doesn't matter; it's just a qualifier to meet the definition of an assault weapon. It is not a qualifier for bolt rifles. Muzzle breaks are not a platform specific part so I doubt there will be an issue getting them, but who knows....this is Colorado.

This.

Polis can't veto it and he can't approve it because of his future aspirations.

I'm sure he's already made whatever calls he needs to certain Senate folks who will gladly slow this down so it never makes it to his desk.

And then our next even more commie governor will pass it.
