Protect Colorado from SB25-003. This bill is 100% unconstitutional it violates both Colorados and the United States constitution. It does not stand up to legal scrutiny or the bruen decision. A bill in Illinois that was similar was already deemed unconstitutional and it was actually less restrictive than this bill. For so many reasons this bill will destroy colorado and lead people out of state. It creates a gun registry illegally. It will effect our colorado parks and wildlife, but most of all the restriction of all semi-automatic firearms are weapons that are in common use for self-defense are protected by the Bruen decision. This bill from a lawyers standing would ban all semi-automatic firearms including handguns unless you obtain this firearm owner ID card. The funding is coming from the Colorado Parks and Wildlife funds which are protected funds specifically for wildlife. The main source of funding is Colorado parks passes, hunting and fishing licenses, and possibly pitman Robinson act funds which are not to be used for anything but wildlife purposes legally. Not only this but it will be 2 background check fees, a sheriffs fee, a CPW firearms owner ID fee, a CPW ran class fee all with no limit or cap on price. Then you have to repeat this whole process every 5 years because it expires .Also another asinine requirement is making people pass this course at 90% to even qualify to obtain a Firearm owners id card which is discriminatory in itself for a constitutional right. Lastly CPW is in charge of these courses and does not have the manpower to implement this bill right now they struggle to even give 13000 people their hunters saftey cards and half of these are done online and they still can’t get people hunters saftey cards or courses in 120 days. They only hired 3 people for the entire state. There are millions of gun owners in Colorado this will lead to arbitrary delays and denials which is completely unconstitutional in itself. This bill will Kill colorado small businesses and incentivize people to purchase guns illegally or out of the state to connecting states. This will kill colorados economy in many different ways. SB25-003 is a terrible bill.
