  2. Very excited to move to Colorado. Much better headlines than my home state of Texas

  4. Wonder how long before the injunction. “Manufacture, possession, and sale” is a *lot* more restrictive than even the federal AWB was.

  5. This will save lives that the GOP would otherwise condemn to death

  7. I’m in favor of these laws, but assault weapons bans don’t actually ban assault weapons.

    They ban certain features that make them less lethal (and less cool looking), but people can buy them (google CA legal AR-15).

  9. I like how they have to put “assault weapons” in quotes now to prevent gun weirdos from pitching up going “Umm there’s no such thing as an *assault* rifle, they’re *Armalite Rifles* and I think that proves you’re wrong and I win”

  10. I’m all for sensible gun control. This ain’t it.

  11. Honestly not thrilled about it, colorado has pushed harder on gun control than any other social issue in the last few years… because of lobbiests greasing their wheels. But when we try and end housing discrimination based on income, oh no no time for that. When we try and improve our schools via weed taxes on ballot issues, oh yeah lets take the same ammount out of the budget for a zero sum game. More impactful water regulations? Naw fuckin blame homeowners and restrict their use. HoA lobby to evict residents from homes they own and get it passed, sure thing. Our roads are falling apart. And instead of fixing them, they add a lane and charge a toll on it, which goes to a private company that built the toll lane. And none of these gun control laws were made in good faith either. They packed them, like 13, through in like a week. I say that as a progressive gun owner, cited didnt really have the ability to show up for the in house hearings because we can’t go to the house every day of the week.

  12. .50 cal? tf? ive yet to hear a mass shooting with a .50 cal.

  14. If the efforts focused on who commits the majority of the firearm crime, it would have faster/bigger impact.

    Keep them out of the hands of boys/young men before the age of 25. That one law would cut down the incidents significantly within 5-10 years.

  15. Too bad the supreme court will just over rule it. So much for states rights

  16. Funny how that happens when it turns out the NRA’s funding dries up because the ruble crashed after the sanctions…..

  18. In before the Supreme Court says states don’t get to make their own rules unless they are abortion rules.

  20. This is how the CO democrats screwed themselves last time. They got the majority and passed a bunch of gun laws nobody liked. The result was recalled lawmakers, and a republican majority that reversed the laws. Literally zero benefit. And just in time to bolster Trump’s reelection. They should add a section requiring men to use the women’s bathroom and banning heterosexual marriage just to make sure we get to suffer through a decade of gop bullshit.

  21. If you gotta have your emotional support AR-15 when you go to Applebee’s then it’s time to move your ass to Texas where such insecurity is okay.

  23. How am I gonna hit any rabbits without full auto?

  24. I’m sure these bills which are only targeting law abiding citizens are going to reduce criminal activity. But hey, the Democrats sure do love their virtue signaling and use of buzz words.

  25. As a gun owner here in Germany, I hunt with my long rifles and shotgun, can someone fill me in on what it is people use „assault weapons“ for exactly?

  26. Weird hill to toss the Democrat majority to the wolves from. Might think about fixing the fact that the hotel I stayed at downtown charging $400/night in Denver specifically warned me not to walk across the fucking street due to the homeless/junkie problem. I lived in Denver 15 years ago and what has been allowed to happen to the downtown area is one of the most fucked up things I have ever seen. I thought my crazy boomer parents were exaggerating every time they went until I saw it myself. Absolutely insane that the state is working on literally any law that isn’t trying to fix that problem
