Colorado: “Assault Weapon” Ban Defeated!

Thursday, April 20, 2023

We are pleased to announce House Bill 23-1230 (“HB 23-1230”) was defeated in committee. HB 23-1230 unconstitutionally banned the manufacturing, importing, purchasing, selling, offering to sell, or transferring ownership of what the drafters have defined as an “assault weapon.” Over 500 NRA members and Second Amendment supporters showed up to testify and thousands of messages were sent to lawmakers opposing HB 23-1230. NRA encourages lawmakers to tackle the real issue of crime, instead of focusing on law-abiding gun owners.

Thanks to all of the NRA members and Second Amendment Supporters who remained vigilant in contacting and urging their lawmakers to defend the rights of Coloradans. The fight is not over yet; your Second Amendment rights are still on the line. Please stay tuned to www.nraila.org and your email inbox for further updates.
