Send them your polite comments, something like: "I understand that you will be in the position to stop the progress of bill 1228, and I encourage you to do so. Forcing law-abiding Colorado gun owners and buyers to pay for the cost of exercising their rights under the U.S. Constitution only serves to punish those who comply with the law. Gun ownership is not a privilege, like driving a car, it is a fundamental right our founders gave us, and making lawful gun purchasers foot the bill for exercising a Constitutional right is wrong. Do not let this legislation make it to a vote."
