“If you are the legal owner of an assault weapon today, nothing changes for you in our state,” Boesenecker said of the proposal. “We’re really focused on creating a moment between a motive to do something harmful to yourself or your community, and the moment where you can readily acquire the firearm to do it.”
It would include semi-automatic pistols in the assault weapon definitions if they can have a second pistol grip, the ability to accept a magazine or ammunition feeding device in a place other than the pistol grip, weighs more than 50 ounces unloaded or includes an arm brace or similar accessory that extends horizontally behind the grip, among other provisions.
“We know that these are very close models of weapons of war,” Boesenecker said. “… At the very least, that is their intended purpose, first and foremost. We know that regulations and prohibitions in this space save lives.”
These weapons also protect us against our government.
Or anything that the Democrat Sturmabteilung designates as an assault weapon...
After releasing one of the world’s deadliest arms dealers for an American hating failed basketball player, I don’t want to hear blip from Dems on gun control. The US also armed millions in Afghanistan for free, where’s my F15?
Curious what part of the Supreme Court Heller ruling do they fail to understand ?
Why don’t you ever have a headline that covers the Bill of Rights positively? I don’t get it? So much for being liberal, you’re a bunch of authoritarians pretending.
No. They don't.
When the second amendment was written, ALL firearms were weapons of war. The amendment exists to give citizens the right to be armed like soldiers.
These anti-gun politicians are doing a disservice to Colorado. Instead of addressing the real causes of violence, they are blaming guns. They will not save lives, only condemn more individuals to be victims. Who do they think these anti-gun laws are going to target?
Put it to a vote by the people of Colorado
Waiting on the criminals to do the right thing g.
🖕
If the get rid of the 2nd the first is next to fall. You are the press. Allegedly. Hireareporter.
They are the reason for the 2nd amendment. Tree of liberty and all that.
👀👀
Proposed laws are unconstitutional, will not be enforced, and will not be followed.
The tighter they clench their fists, the more will slip through their fingers. it's a simple truth. What's so hard to understand for these Democrats? OH right, truth doesn't matter. Facts don't matter. Just their feelers.
Better buy 2 today..They also don't want YOU to have Menthol cigs or gas stoves...Makes Sense doesn't it...If they don't want YOU to have it, YOU better Get it..Dems have Ruined Denver...Started with Pena....Loser
That looks more like a defense weapon.
It’s unconstitutional.The Supreme Court will ultimately decide. Killers kill with whatever weapon the find. Mothers who kill their babies are no different. A life is a life and when taken by someone else. It’s murder
It should be called a battery weapon. Hireareporter.
Three years since the Boulder King Soopers mass shooting and looking at the fence where we tucked our flowers of grief still makes me feel overwhelmingly sad. THAT's why we must BanAssaultWeaponsNow. Don't let anything or anyone stop you, Democrats of Colorado State Assembly!
If there was an AR-5090 I’d use it to protect my family
Good.
If they don’t ban possession and fund a buyback program, this will accomplish nothing. EmilyForCO jaredpolis GovofCO
Ever since the Dem super majority I forget what it’s like to live in a free state. Any infringement on the Second Amendment is unconstitutional and will only turn law abiding citizens into criminals. It will have zero impact otherwise.
Ok as a lawful gun owner, one more time...no such thing as an 'assault rifle' 🙄 you may want to refer to it as a 'military style weapon'
Look forward to a dramatic rise in sales before this goes into effect. SCOTUS will shoot it down thereafter.
Literally had a guy on PCP pull an AR15 on me in downtown Denver.
2A. Get over your desire to control everyone and go try to accomplish something that's NOT pointless.
People don't need AR 16s! It literally stands for assault rifle!
How many gun regulations do we need before you figure out the problem lies elsewhere?
You know 'assault weapons' will be defined so broadly as to basically make any semi-automatic gun suspect. These people are unserious and dangerous.
The government needs to stay out of the people’s gun rights and reproductive health rights. Plain and simple
Tyranny. Politicians who knowingly support unconstitutional laws have no credibility!
Yeah Polis will sign it too, nothing like having your right taken away to really feel like a democrat controlled state.
A disgusting breach of citizen's rights.
