Colorado: FOID Bill Heads to Governor's Desk, TAKE ACTION NOW!

On Friday, March 28th, Senate Bill 25-003, the semi-auto ban turned FOID-scheme bill, passed the final vote on the Senate floor, concurring in the House amendments. This egregious bill has been transmitted to Governor Jared Polis' office, where he has just 10 days to take action. 

Governor Polis NEEDS to hear from every Coloradan who reads this. Show him through your advocacy that the will of the anti-gun radicals in the General Assembly is NOT the will of the people.

This is our last chance to stop this bill from becoming law! It is critical for all NRA Members and Second Amendment advocates in the Centennial State to contact Governor Polis' office at (303) 866-2471, by email at [email protected], by signing the Colorado State Shooting Association Petition, and by using the TAKE ACTION button below and urge him to VETO SB 25-003.

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. 

Other anti-gun bills are still on the move, and we can anticipate that 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.
