HB 23-1230 aka "Assault weapons" ban

"3 (b) STATISTICS SHOW THAT IN EACH OF THE YEARS 2019, 2020,
4 2021, AND 2022, THERE WAS, ON AVERAGE, MORE THAN ONE MASS
5 SHOOTING PER DAY;"

The vast majority of which were committed with handguns by shooters not legally allowed to possess firearms.


"6 (c) BETWEEN 2009 AND 2020, THE FIVE DEADLIEST MASS
7 SHOOTING INCIDENTS IN THE UNITED STATES ALL INVOLVED THE USE OF
8 ASSAULT WEAPONS OR HIGH-CAPACITY MAGAZINES. THESE MASS
9 SHOOTINGS OCCURRED IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA; ORLANDO, FLORIDA;
10 NEWTOWN, CONNECTICUT; SUTHERLAND SPRINGS, TEXAS; AND EL PASO,
11 TEXAS."

Noteworthy that the dates picked here start in 2009, conveniently allowing them to ignore the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting which would be at #3, and should jump the Pulse shooting for deaths per hour. That shooting was committed with firearms and magazines that will still be legal to purchase if this bill passes.

It increases the barrier to entry and can decrease the number of new people that get involved in shooting. A slow way to kill the culture.

That's it. Plus it paves the way for the next steps... just like California. Law abiding one day and with the stroke of a pen, felon the next with no action of your own.

So...no exception for gun stores that supply police?


Great! Let's see how that works out.

The people ruling over this state want to ban all firearms, and repeal the second amendment. It is all calculated. They will decide how much blow back they want in one year. They may do some of the agenda this year and wait a couple years or they may just do it all at once. Also, they will take into consideration the legal challenges, costs of a federal supreme court challenge, etc. Anyhow, we know their end game....just how much of it they do this year is yet to be determined. They have the votes to do whatever they want, and there is no way to vote them out. The Democrat (marxist) ruling party leadership in this state will decide how much and when.

Thank you Ginsue for spelling it all out here, I’m not a constant contributor, but have consistently come here for information since 2009. Thanks fellas. This legislation is really disappointing, but not surprising.

The only joy I find in this bill is that it puts Polis in a horrible position.

Sign it and pretty much dash his hopes for the presidency.

or

Don't sign it and dash his hopes for doing anything further in the Democratic party.

Not signing it is his only move - letting it become law without his signature and then doing a lot of dancing when the issue comes up.

Ah, schadenfreude.

Would signing it hurt his presidential hopes? He's doing something to "prevent mass shootings". Then again, maybe living in Eastern California has skewed my idea of what real people want.

When do they vote on it?

The "winner" of the last presidential "election" campaigned on bans and has advocated for bans since taking control of the office. I don't think it really matters what Polis says. He will either be selected or he won't. He is more likable than Kamala and fits their woke image; whatever favors and back room deals transpire will determine the next one.
