"Assault weapon" ban 2025 version

[eddiememphis]

Has anyone been able to decipher the difference between the "basic" and "Extended" safety courses other than the instruction time required?

From a legal perspective, what does the extended course provide that the basic does not?

Either basic plus hunters education or extended.

Since the curriculum has not been designed yet, no one knows what the courses themselves would entail other than a lot of anti-Gun propaganda in both.

A BASIC OR EXTENDED FIREARMS SAFETY COURSE MUST INCLUDE, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO INCLUDING, INSTRUCTION ON SAFE HANDLING OF SEMIAUTOMATIC FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION MAGAZINES, SAFE STORAGE OF FIREARMS AND CHILD SAFETY, FIREARM DEATHS ASSOCIATED WITH MENTAL ILLNESS, EXTREME RISK PROTECTION ORDERS DESCRIBED IN ARTICLE 14.5 OF TITLE 13, AND VICTIM AWARENESS AND EMPATHY.

Hmmm...

With the speed this was implemented I can't help but wonder if this was the goal all along. Start with a scary bill that bans everything and "compromise" with something that is only a major PITA and may be shot down in court.

A twelve hour course to be created and delivered across several agencies sounds like a logistical nightmare. It looks good on paper but how's that going to work out in real life?

This is all about obstructionism. Much like the post-Bruen NY concealed carry bullshit, they law will go into effect, THEN they'll start to establish all of the protocols and proctological exams, 3 years minimum before they even get the appropriate forms printed. In the interim, FU if you want to buy a new gun that's not on their exempted list.

I doubt it. There are several members of the legislature that have stated flat out that they want to ban all privately owned firearms.

My guess is this bill got shifted because Polis wants to be president and an outright ban on "assault rifles" would look bad on his record as a centrist, so they changed it to an "education" bill.

But don't worry. Regardless of what passes they will continue to try until they achieve their goals.

Giffords and Everytown have constitutional lawyers on staff that sit around all day and write this nonsense so that if one section looks like it won't pass, they can immediately substitute something else. They are the ones that are behind these bills. Does anyone really think that idiot Tom Sullivan drew this up himself?

Sounds like the bill passed the senate today.

[buffalobo]

Robert's and Mullica voted yes after saying they would vote no and it passed third reading, headed to House.

It?s a test. If you comply with it, you fail.

Good to hear from you. I have missed your input.

The last line in the article:

"The bill now moves to the Colorado House of Representatives. It’s expected to pass there and then be signed by Governor Jared Polis."
