Colorado: FOID Bill On Governor Polis' Desk, More Gun Control On the Move

As the clock runs down on Governor Polis' 10-day window to veto Senate Bill 25-003, the semi-auto ban turned FOID-scheme bill, he continues to sit on his hands and let the bill gather dust on his desk. He has just 5 days left to veto SB 25-003. If he does not take action by Monday, April 7th, this egregious bill will become law.

The time to sit idly by has passed, YOU need to speak up. Governor Polis NEEDS to hear from every Coloradan who reads this. Show him through your advocacy that the will of the anti-gun radicals in the General Assembly is NOT the will of the people.

This is our last chance to stop this bill from becoming law! It is critical for all NRA Members and Second Amendment advocates in the Centennial State to contact Governor Polis' office at (303) 866-2471, by email at [email protected], by signing the Colorado State Shooting Association Petition, and by using the TAKE ACTION button below and urge him to VETO SB 25-003.

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 need to complete a 12-hour educational course. The 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, other anti-gun bills have also reached Governor Polis' desk, as more continue to move through the General Assembly.

House Bill 25-1238, which places undue restrictions on gun show vendors and organizers, and House Bill 25-1133, which places age restrictions on all ammunition purchases, both passed in the House for concurrence with the Senate amendments, and have been transmitted to Governor Polis' desk. 

In the Senate, SB 25-205, which creates a system requiring federal firearms licensees to request a firearm serial number check on any potential purchase, passed out of the Senate State, Veterans, & Military Affairs Committee along party lines. It now heads for the Senate floor for second reading.

In legal news, NRA filed suit against the excise tax on firearm and ammunition sales yesterday in conjunction with many other Second Amendment advocacy groups. 

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