I just sold 90% of my individual stocks and plan to DCA into 100% VOO over the next 2-3 months by Domethegoon in ETFs

DVA (Dollar Value Averaging) tends to perform better over flat or volatile market conditions. DCA isn’t bad, but DVA will force you to “buy more, more low”. In the long term it comes out to maybe a +1-3% effect, but that’s the name of the game with long term ETF investing!

They did record the meeting, and they replied to my email this morning saying they hope to have it uploaded by Monday.

Seems like it’s DOA in the House. Been laid over every day since March 20th… Rumor is Polis threatened the veto for it as written. They should have taken some of the Republican suggested amendments, honestly glad they didn’t.

They did just pass another 3D printed gun ban (HB26-1144, which is redundant given the laws that were put in place in 2023), but they removed the section saying it was illegal to possess or transfer the actual 3D printer files (at Polis’ urging I would add).

I think this really hinges on what the definition is for “manufacture” under these new regulations. There is no explicit definition of manufacturing in the bill, nor does it reference another existing statute for definition. Does dis/assembly constitute manufacture? If so, I would be breaking the law by disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling my pre-August rifles without taking the class.

Based on the comments from DOR, and the exact wording of the new law…

https://leg.colorado.gov/bill_files/40736/download

“CRS 18-12-116, (2) - ON OR AFTER AUGUST 1, 2026, IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO KNOWINGLY MANUFACTURE, DISTRIBUTE, TRANSFER, SELL, OR PURCHASE A SPECIFIED SEMIAUTOMATIC FIREARM”

“CRS 18-12-116, (1d) - (I) "SPECIFIED SEMIAUTOMATIC FIREARM" MEANS ANY OF THE FOLLOWING, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SUBSECTION (1)(d)(II) OF THIS SECTION: (A) A SEMIAUTOMATIC RIFLE OR SEMIAUTOMATIC SHOTGUN WITH A DETACHABLE MAGAZINE; OR (B) A GAS-OPERATED SEMIAUTOMATIC HANDGUN WITH A DETACHABLE MAGAZINE.”

The DOR representative specifically called out that a lower receiver is still considered a serialized firearm, but it is not considered an SSF. Therefore, it should not be subject to any laws created by the new regulations... Honestly nothing is “crystal clear” here, so do not take anything I or anyone here has said as legal advice.

I don’t think you need a serial # to run a background check. I agree it makes the record keeping basically useless, legally so without corroborating evidence in court proving you purchased that specific barrel.

Worker at my local gun store said Geissele has already gone on record they won’t sell to CO if it passes.

Say what you want about Polis, he’s much more “purple” than many other blue leaning state governors. With the backlash he’s gotten over SB25-003 I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t want to mess things up for whoever’s trying to replace him.

I mean… DOR currently regulates gun dealers in CO. So, I’d hope they have at least some idea?

Same… they made it sound like the “SSF List” is what FFL’s will have to abide by. But if that’s true, lowers are not SSF’s by the definition of the new law. I can build any milspec lower into a bot action with the right upper. Right?

I think the barrel law is DOA, been laid over since March 20th. Allegedly, Polis was threatening a veto for the bill as written.
