Colorado: FOID Bill Passes House Finance Committee

Colorado: FOID Bill Passes House Finance Committee

On Friday, March 14th, the House Finance Committee passed Senate Bill 25-003, the semi-auto ban turned FOID-scheme bill, by a thin vote of 7-6. Hundreds of Coloradans had signed up to testify in opposition, but the committee limited the hearing to only four hours. It will now head to the House Appropriations committee.

Please contact members of the House Appropriations Committee NOW and urge them to OPPOSE SB 25-003!

It is critical for all NRA Members and Second Amendment advocates in the Centennial State to stay engaged and contact your elected officials in opposition of SB 25-003! Continue to contact Governor Polis' office at (303) 866-2471 or by email at [email protected]. Use your voice to oppose this unconstitutional bill and prevent it from advancing any further!

Senate Bill 25-003 creates a "permit-to-purchase" scheme for banned semi-automatic firearm platforms. To be eligible to apply for the "permit-to-purchase," Coloradoans would either need to complete a 12-hour educational course or show proof of a valid concealed carry permit or hunter safety certificate and complete a four-hour firearm education course. This week's House amendments include, but are not limited to, putting the training requirements and permitting process under Colorado Parks and Wildlife's jurisdiction, and placing burdens on local sheriff's departments.

Additionally, House Bill 25-1238, which places undue restrictions on gun show vendors and organizers, was passed on the House floor by a vote of 34-30-1. It will now be transmitted to the Senate for consideration.

We can anticipate anti-gun members of the General Assembly will continue their attacks on the Second Amendment. Please stay tuned to the NRA-ILA website and your inbox for future updates as the session progresses.
