On Friday, March 28th, Senate Bill 25-003, the semi-auto ban turned FOID-scheme bill, will return to the Senate floor for concurrence with the House amendments. If the Senate accepts the amendments, SB 25-003 will be transmitted to Governor Polis. Should the Senate not concur, it will be sent to a House/Senate Conference Committee to be reworked.
As SB 25-003 returns to the Senate, we are presented with our last opportunity to stop this bill in the General Assembly! It is critical for all NRA Members and Second Amendment advocates in the Centennial State to contact your Senator in opposition to SB 25-003! Continue to contact Governor Polis' office at (303) 866-2471 or by email at [email protected].
Senate Bill 25-003 creates a "permit-to-purchase" scheme for banned semi-automatic firearm platforms. To be eligible to apply for the "permit-to-purchase," Coloradoans would need to complete a 12-hour educational course. The House amendments include, but are not limited to, putting the training requirements and permitting process under Colorado Parks and Wildlife's jurisdiction, and placing burdens on local sheriff's departments.
Additionally, SB 25-205, which creates a system requiring federal firearms licensees to request a firearm serial number check on any potential purchase, was introduced and has been scheduled for a hearing in the Senate State, Veterans, & Military Affairs Committee on Tuesday, April 1st.
In the House, House Bill 25-1238, which places undue restrictions on gun show vendors and organizers, and House Bill 25-1133, which places age restrictions on all ammunition purchases, both passed the Senate and have returned to the House for concurrence with the Senate amendments.
We can anticipate the anti-gun radicals in the General Assembly will continue their attacks on the Second Amendment. Please stay tuned to the NRA-ILA website and your inbox for updates as this legislative session progresses.
