I'm surprised there isn't more conversation about this bill. Have you read it!? It will affect so many people and is absurd! I encourage everyone to contact gun shops, pawn shops, FFL dealers in Colorado, corporate offices of Gander, Cabelas, Bass Pro, etc. to make them aware (just in case they aren't) of how they will be affected, if this passes. They will most likely quit or shut down the firearms section of their stores.

Here are some points:
A person (think FFL dealer, since private sales will be banned w/HB 1229) who sells or transfers an assault weapon is deemed to be aware that assault weapons are sought after by and are useful for criminals, mass killers, and those with criminal intent, but are RARELY NECESSARY for lawful purposes. And of the extreme likelihood that [it] WILL BE USED in a crime or WILL RESULT in injury or death.

Sellers, distributors (Gander, Cabelas, Walmart, pawn shops, gun shops, etc.) or manufacturers..are liable for all injuries and damages from the third party who discharges the assault weapon.

“Because of the dangerous nature of assault weapons” they should only sell transfer or distribute them “after receiving sufficient communication and information to have reasonable grounds to believe that the weapon will not be possessed or used by a person who may use it unsafely or unlawfully.” They are going to need to have ESP or a psychic on staff!
