NRA-ILA | Colorado: Gun Bill Votes In Both Chambers TODAY

Today, February 24th, both chambers of the legislature will hold votes on anti-gun legislation. Please contact your legislators and urge them to OPPOSE HB 26-1144 and SB 26-043 by using the TAKE ACTION buttons below.

House Floor – HB26-1144 attempts to prohibit the private use of 3-D printers and milling machines for manufacturing firearms and firearms parts that are already illegal or restricted under state law. This bill also prohibits the possession of digital instruction files and/or code related to firearm components by private individuals, raising First, Second and Fifth Amendment violation implications. This bill sets forth a dangerous precedent for enforcement and policing of the internet by state officials and raises concerns regarding an individual’s protection from self-incrimination. 

Senate Floor – Senate Bill 26-043, places additional hurdles on firearm dealers that are highly regulated under both Federal and State law, including: 

• Requiring all firearm barrels to be sold or transferred in person through an FFL. Private and online sales are not permitted.
• Establishing criminal and civil penalties for possession, transfer, and sale, including civil infractions to misdemeanors.
• Creating an age requirement to purchase a barrel. 
• Mandating FFLs to record all sales and transfers using a form supplied by the Colorado Bureau of Investigations, which must be kept for at least five years. This effectively establishes a permanent registry of firearm owners.
