On Friday, March 21st, Senate Bill 25-003, the semi-auto ban turned FOID-scheme bill, passed on second reading in the House. It has been scheduled for its third reading and FINAL VOTE on the House floor on MONDAY, MARCH 24th!
This is our last opportunity to stop this bill in the House! It is critical for all NRA Members and Second Amendment advocates in the Centennial State to contact your Representative in opposition to SB 25-003! Continue to contact Governor Polis’ office at (303) 866-2471 or by email at [email protected].
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, and House Bill 25-1133, which places age restrictions on all ammunition purchases, were laid over in the Senate until Monday. Please contact your Senator and urge them to OPPOSE these bills!
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.
