On Monday, March 2nd, the House State, Civic, Military, and Veterans Affairs Committee will hold a hearing on three firearm-related bills. The hearing will begin at 1:30 pm. Please contact committee members and urge them to SUPPORT HB 26-1072 and OPPOSE HB 26-1126 and SB 26-004 using the TAKE ACTION button below.
House Bill 26-1072 repeals extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs), commonly known as "red flag" laws, and enshrines that Coloradan's right to keep and bear arms cannot be denied without stringent due process.
House Bill 26-1126, an "FFL-Killer" bill, overhauls state-level "industry standards" for FFLs, and includes:
- Requiring a state permit for a dealer to transfer firearms, not merely to conduct the business of dealing.
- Expanding mandatory training requirements for dealers and their employees.
- Implementing costly mandatory security requirements at the dealers' expense.
- Expanding record-keeping obligations to cover all firearm transactions, shifting the emphasis away from only pistols and revolvers.
- Fines for violations can reach as high as $100,000 for a dealer's second or later violations.
Senate Bill 26-004 broadly expands who can request an extreme risk protection order to include "institutional petitioners." This catch-all category is designed to be interpreted broadly by including anyone who is associated with a school, university, or healthcare facility.
