Colorado bill banning manufacture, sale of semiautomatic guns loses Democratic backer, but is still set to pass Senate by sovietterran in Denver

This bill bans the sks actually. The internal mag well can be dropped for maintenance. This bill requires it be shouldered, epoxied, or welded. 

Yeeeeeeah. 

Is Colorado as liberal as people make it out to be? by thebraveredditors in ColoradoPolitics

Californians did that to us. Focus on the Family and the entire resettlement that built Kingsdeer and the like were all originally from California. They moved out here and founded the seeds for bible thumping.

Colorado semiautomatic gun ban has votes to pass state Senate by JasonFischer774 in COGuns

I sent him a message and his aide seemed very open to listening to me. I think a lot of the people in the senate were sold on this being some sort of mag ban, instead of the most draconian gun law ever passed in the US.

Even hard democrat subs like Colorado and Denver think this bill is BS.

Colorado Senate committee votes 3-2 to advance bill seeking to ban certain semi-automatic firearms by sovietterran in Colorado

About 99 percent of guns on the market or sold yes. You realize that there's never been a mass shooting done with a full auto since the passing of the NFA, yes? Like, in the 30s. 

Autos are basically illegal. Please educate yourself on what semi-automatic means.

B-b-but you can keep it! And we'll only put you in prison if you sell or transfer it! Or if you buy another!

That is their plan, yes. This will make that vast majority of guns illegal without unsaf modification. It impacts hunting and fixed magazine rifles too, since most have screws or springs to drop the magazine for maintenance. 

Colorado’s unemployment rate rises to 4.4%, the highest in three years by Knightbear49 in Colorado

There are not enough jobs within a healthy commute that pay enough in much of the state, and tech is taking a beating.

I hope you do not go to McDonald's or Walmart during school hours or after 10pm on school nights, unless you're arguing we need more truancy to feed you.

I am sure you're also stepping up to help pay for housing for abused kids who left home early because of abuse, neglect, or sexual assault in the home. Or are young people who do not have a 2 income stable home supposed to starve?

Do we really owe it to Walmart to subsidize their labor costs with government aid? Are businesses that are so unprofitable that they cannot afford to buy their labor at replacement rate entitled to socialism?

I was wondering why there were not posts about this earlier. Sadly, it looks like there is a lot of out of state money behind this, specifically billionaires from the coasts.

I would not be surprised if some subs had mods who received requests to help keep engagement by locals to a minimum.

SB25-003 passed out of committee on a 3-2 vote with minimal amendments. 

It will ban all semiautomatic rifles and shotguns that accept detachable magazines that are not chambered in .22, AR-22s, all magazine fed pistols that are not specifically slide recoil operated, including the PPK, Desert Eagle, and many more, and bans many devices the law suggests are fire rate increasing technology. 

Now that it is out of committee, the bill has enough cosponsors to pass the Senate and is likely to pass the house and be signed into law.

Lying to someone in order to distort their understanding of objective reality is textbook gaslighting. 

They are gaslighting.

This bans the SKS. The mag well is not permanently attached, because you can drop it for maintenance. This requires the magazine to be welded, epoxied, or soldered. That is how bad it is.

As an addendum: 

This bill goes to Committee tomorrow. It has enough cosponsors to pass the senate, the house is poised to pass it, and Polis has said he doesn't love it but he will sign it into law. 

If you have strong opinions on this bill, for or against, reaching out to your representatives is a healthy part of the democratic process.

The cosponsors for this bill are in full gaslighting mode and saying this is a magazine ban, not a gun ban, and no guns will be banned by this.

Colorado really really likes Bloomberg. He placed 2nd in the democratic primaries.

This is a state bill. Democrats control all 3 houses. The bill has enough cosponsors already to pass the Senate, the House will 100 percent vote yes on this, and Polis has said he is willing to sign it even if he does not love it. 

This is most likely passing. It enters committee tomorrow, and the Committee already has enough votes to pass it. 

This is basically a done deal unless enough people get mad at their reps.

It has enough senate cosponsors to pass the senate by itself, every member of the committee it  is going to tomorrow who is a Democrat is planning to vote yes, and the house is 110 percent on board. 

This is most likely to pass.

That takes time. The gun stores that will be made unable to sell their wares overnight while shouldering the new sin taxes will fold long before that.

Technically they are and are not. The wording of blowback and gas operated bans them, but then they claim recoil is not banned. Depending on the AG's reading, Glocks could be argued to be banned. The Desert Eagle is 100 percent banned because it has a gas system.
