Colorado bill restricting sale of certain semiautomatic guns clears first House committee after notable tweaks
An amendment to Senate Bill 3 would give sheriffs broad power to deny an application to buy certain semiautomatic guns that accept detachable magazines if they have a "reasonable belief that documented previous behavior by the applicant makes it likely the applicant will present a danger to themself...
I love how CO Democrats are just watching the rise of the Orange Reich, and their solution so far is to ban modern firearms and allow sheriffs to decide that black people can't get an exception to the ban.
Democrats and their instance to attack gun rights are why they almost never hold a complete majority nationally
Regulating based on detachable magazine isn't a very good idea.
Keltec is already making a 20 round pistol that doesn't have a detachable magazine and is loaded by clips almost as fast.
The lack of detachable magazine makes it more easily concealable as well because it saves on weight and width.
Feature specific bans do nothing except encourage manufacturers to develop loopholes, and that happens faster than laws go into effect these days.
I do want to give Colorado credit for requiring a background check even on private sales, that's something we've needed to fix federally for a very long time.
My issue with background checks on private sales is that they're unenforceable unless you have a database of every gun and who owns it. I'm not comfortable with Trump having a list of every liberal, POC, and LGBTQ person who has a gun.
