CO Gun Control Bill Update: SB25-003 advanced on 2nd reading in the House by a vote of 38-27. The bill has NOT passed yet. We're expecting a final 3rd reading vote on Monday. Many
@COHouseDem
reps came up to us and told us they KNOW this bill is crap, but they're too afraid to upset their party bosses. Dems were all over the place on Amendments. Plenty of reasons for them to vote NO on final passage. We've now got the weekend to pressure just 6 more to do the right thing and vote NO. Then we go to the Senate (again) if it comes to that. Well fought
@COHouseGOP
. WE ARE NOT DONE YET.
If you intend to pass another gun control law, there are certain common sense provisions to take under consideration:
First, is this law overly broad, vague, onerous, restrictive, arbitrary, capricious, or places an undue burden, in comparison to an average of other laws from the other 50 states?
Second, how many actual firearms experts have had opportunity to review the bill and point out possible errors of fact or unintended consequences?
Third, are penalties Draconian?
Finally, is the law so contemptuous that the average law abiding gun owner would choose to disregard or ignore it?
1-Yes, it is. We are forging a new path and that path has to cover a lot of ground.
2- Zero. This isn't about guns. It's about saving lives.
3-You bet they are. That's the point- to change the behavior of those that only understand punitive measures.
4- Let's hope so. Then we can not only lock them up but strip them of their so called Second Amendment "rights" at the same time.
I disagree it was Polis who's responsible. He did, and is doing, exactly what the majority that elected him wants him to do. Colorado was trashed by your fellow voters.
The left destroys everything it touches. Everything. Colorado is no different. Stevie Wonder could've seen this coming. Like Mike Rosen preached so often, the party is far more important than the person. Colorado is the perfect example to illustrate that.
Here's another reason: "Many @COHouseDem reps came up to us and told us they KNOW this bill is crap, but they're too afraid to upset their party bosses." Even if there was such a thing as a "good" democrat, they're not going to defy the party to vote against the party line, without party permission (ie: permissible sometimes if the party knows a bill will pass and they allow it to make the representative look good to constituents).
The democrat party is evil, plain and simple. They're gonna get their gun ban in Colorado, one way or another. It may not be this one, but they're gonna get it.
