From Grantham:

(I put in a short tidbit about being a vet and former LEO):



First, I want to thank you for your service to our country. Without your sacrifice, and that of millions like you, America would not be the free country she is today.

I will not be supporting any of the bills up this session. HB’s 12-1224, 1226, 1228, and 1229 are all infringements on the rights of the law-abiding, not restrictions on the criminals. Criminals will circumvent the law, because they are criminals. I’m not sure why that connection is so difficult for some in this building. If these bills are passed, all we will have done is make it harder for the law-abiding to protect themselves against those for whom neither the law nor respect for their fellow human beings is any deterrent.
My pro-2nd Amendment sentiment is not a recent position; it has been one of my main policy objectives, since coming to the Capitol two years ago. I have supported “constitutional carry” legislation in the past, including SB 12-025 last year, that would have further removed restrictions on your right to own guns. I have also supported expanding Colorado’s “castle doctrine” to businesses (HB 12-1088), which would have allowed authorized persons to employ deadly force, if necessary, in defense of life or property at a business
Again, thank you for contacting me, and be certain that I will be supporting the 2nd Amendment and not the anti-gun lobby.
Sincerely,
Sen. Kevin Grantham
District 2
