Colorado Gov. Jared Polis Signs Insanely Unconstitutional Gun Control Law

TEOTWAWKI inc. · Friday at 6:17 AM

When I lived in Denver ~20 years ago, the state was one step away from the wild west for gun rights. Man, a lot can change in 20 years. But, they chose drug use over gun rights. This is what they voted for, unfortunately.

The supreme court’s lack of a spine created this. They should rule all state gun control laws unconstitutional, no more magazine limits, feature bans, permit schemes, safe zones. Get rid of it all.

Grimscale · Friday at 7:20 AM

A law, clearly in violation of the Constitution, that accomplishes something the Supreme Court has already ruled is un-Constitutional, should automatically be null and void.
Instead Coloradans will be forced to suffer under an oppressive and un-Constitutional law for YEARS while it meanders its way through the court system to MAYBE finally get knocked down by the Supreme Court.

If a legislative body, including the governor/mayor, approve and sign a clearly un-Constitutional law any that voted for it should be subject to immediate arrest and prosecution. They can remain in jail, and the law ruled moot, until it finally gets through the courts. If the Supreme Court then finally rules the law valid they can be released. Otherwise it's prison for life!

No longer should the American People be the guinea pigs of tyrannical laws. Let the legislators back their un-American bullshit with their own lives and freedoms.

I think this is an example of when lefties turn their home state into a shithole and then flee their home state/shithole (mostly Californians in this instance) and bring their lefty shit along with them and turn a once red state into another blue shithole.

Arizona, Texas, and Florida are probably up next. IMHO

I figured something like this would eventually happen in New York.
The timeline for it happening in NY probably just got sped up because of Colorado's SB25-003.
Hochul the Horrible will not be outdone when it comes to tyranny.

It's like the blue state governments are in a competition with each other as to who can be the most tyrannical state/shithole.

East Commiefornia, all the blues are moving in and voting just like the crap hole they fled from.

Just like NY has done now. I need permission for ammo but can buy weed with just a drivers license.

NY lawmakers must be salivating at this, I cannot believe they have not drafted a clone for this cursed state.

Cavalry · Friday at 8:36 AM

Just reading this over, its not really a ban, just an egregious infringement. Whats in state is fine to posses which makes no sense since they are so "dangerous" Going forward detachable mag semi autos will have to be purchased akin to the NY licensing scheme of SA and pistols.
So all in all, people in Colorado still have more 2A rights than people in NY

Correct. Take a course, a test, pass the test and get a card similar to NYS to get what gun you want. Not a ban but not good either. This is every 5 years for renewal.
Sounds like a money grab as they estimate it will bring in $2,000,000 annually for parks department.

I’m willing to bet something has already been drafted and they’re waiting for the right time.

The Safe Act and CCIA were not created over night.

They’re always scheming something.

Agree. That rapid major influx of garbage+class human dregs that poured into CO for legal weed was the motivating factor for us leaving the state. (Primary factor was coming home to be with family while there was still time to enjoy it with them,)

As much as CO’s new law sucks, it’s not an outright ban on SA guns. Read into it. It’s a shitty piece of legislation, but it’s not a ban on guns. It’s a set of rules outlining how someone can purchase guns.

Colorado is such a beautiful state. If they weren't liberally insane it would be a great place to live.

Once again liberals ruin everything

To bad those politicians don't have to take a course and pass a test on civil rights before they can pass laws.

Trump did nothing for protection of gun rights in his first term and is too pre-occupied with other issues. I agree the Trumpster should declare all State laws void in lead of the Constitution. He can hold back funds for any State not in compliance just as he is doing to the States now trampling on rights issues. The 2nd amendment is a RIGHTS ISSUE.

Very true.

The federal government doesn't recognize drugs that states have legalized. So when you buy a gun and say yes to using marijuana, legally that shop cannot sell you the gun. If you hide that you use it your committing a felony by purgering a federal document.
How screwed up is that...

Until Snopes is decided, it is quite legal for any state to do so.

Is Constitutional right now...until Snopes.

NYS already has this. It’s essentially a semi auto rifle permit and training that we have here.

They should be fined out of their own pockets for passing laws that they should reasonably know violate their citizens rights.

Just like NY that state has assholes for representatives.

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis Signs Insanely Unconstitutional Gun Control Law With Huge National Implications

If you care about preserving the Second Amendment, what just happened in Colorado needs to be on your radar.
On Thursday, Gov. Jared Polis signed a law that bans the production and most sales of semi-automatic firearms with detachable magazines. That means the gun control measure not only covers semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15 (which would be bad enough on its own) but also makes essentially all modern-day handguns illegal as well.
The stakes here could not be higher. If Colorado gets away with this, you can kiss the Second Amendment goodbye. If a state gets away with largely banning semi-automatic handguns, it can get away with banning any type of firearm. This is the most radical gun control legislation to ever be signed, and it must be fiercely opposed.

Every state but MA has more gun rights than NY. At least for now. Even CA is less restrictive than NY.

But hey, we still have TikTok and plastic straws for the win. Sorry, I say that a lot because it pisses me off that they were more important to our top leaders then our rights.

Fines alone are no longer acceptable.
Arrests, convictions, and prison time.
