HB 23-1230 aka "Assault weapons" ban

[def90]

So the way I've read this it limits the transfer of guns to an FFL for specific set of reasons. One of the allowable reasons doesn't seem to allow transfer to an FFL to sell a gun out of state. Does that mean that we can't take an item to an FFL to transfer it out of state if it's a prohibited item in Colorado?

The exclusion text reads: " A LICENSED GUN DEALER WHO HAS REMAINING INVENTORY OF ASSAULT WEAPONS ON OR AFTER JULY 1, 2023, AND SELLS OR TRANSFERS THE REMAINING INVENTORY ONLY TO A NON-COLORADO RESIDENT AND THE SALE OR TRANSFER TAKES PLACE OUT-OF-STATE. "

Which means that after July 1 an FFL can sell/transfer an "assault weapon" only to a non-colorado resident out of state. So yes, an FFL and anyone else can still sell their "assault weapons" to anyone else out of state. Not sure how the "non-colorado resident" thing would hold up for someone that is a Colorado resident but they have a second home in another state.

Here are emails and phone numbers to contact and voice your opposition.
Remember it is not just an AWB. Plenty of other anti-2A bills proposed (red flag, 3 day waiting, suing firearm manufacturers for product misuse, 21 year old to buy, prohibiting shootin on private land in rural areas, etc)
This is from an email I received from the Colorado Freedom Force.
