Colorado's Insanely Unconstitutional Gun Control Law With Huge National Implications
Quote:If you care about preserving the Second Amendment, what just happened in Colorado needs to be on your radar.
On Thursday, Gov. Jared Polis signed a law that bans the production and most sales of semi-automatic firearms with detachable magazines. That means the gun control measure not only covers semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15 (which would be bad enough on its own) but also makes essentially all modern-day handguns illegal as well.
To say this is blatantly unconstitutional is an understatement. The Supreme Court ruled in District of Columbia vs. Heller that firearms in common use are protected under the Second Amendment for "traditionally lawful purposes." That includes self-defense. Semi-automatic handguns and rifles with detachable magazines are the most commonly used guns in the United States. It's not even a question that this gun control law runs afoul of Supreme Court precedent. That means that Polis signed something that he has to know is illegal, making this move all the more insidious.
The stakes here could not be higher. If Colorado gets away with this, you can kiss the Second Amendment goodbye. If a state gets away with largely banning semi-automatic handguns, it can get away with banning any type of firearm. This is the most radical gun control legislation to ever be signed, and it must be fiercely opposed.
I understand there's a lot going on in the political world right now, but this is that important. Gun advocate groups need to be filing challenges immediately, and this must get to the Supreme Court if the lower courts do not strike this law down. If that doesn't happen, every single Democrat-led state in the union will pass similar laws, and with a lack of reciprocity, half the country will essentially be a no-go zone for modern guns. It won't stop there, either. Gun control activists will not be happy until all firearms are banned.
It is astonishing how far Colorado has fallen. What was once a purple state has been inundated with left-wing transplants, and in just a decade, they've turned it into a left-wing bastion. Polis champions himself as a "libertarian" Democrat, but he is nothing of the sort. Signing this bill proves he's nothing but yet another left-wing, big government hack who will set fire to the U.S. Constitution to soothe his political wants. He and this law need to be slapped down hard.

So all Colorado law enforcement is now carrying illegal weapons? Will they have to trade in for revolvers?

I'm sure they're somehow exempt.

^^ Easy. Because it's a free country, we have the right to bear arms, and you don't have the right to control which ones I buy.

That would require a about a box of rounds. I can make that hole with some 000 buck in a 3" magnum from about 10'.

The law is unconstitutional and so is their new law about forcing parents to accept trans kids or we will take your kids away. Colorado is Cali Light Beer.

About 20-30 years ago, Colorado was a prime destination for Californians leaving California. A popular bumper sticker was, "Don't Californicate Colorado." I think Colorado has sadly been Californicated. Right now, I just hope for, "Don't Californicate Texas."

Exactly. The same people who ask why we need guns are the same people that would turn in their right wing neighbor to the One-Party Democrat government to be shipped off to a concentration camp to be murdered.
It is going to happen here eventually. It has happened in other countries before. The right is too cucked to fight back against the left.

In a country where one can own a bazooka (as far as I know) that's a little hole. LOL
Besides, with the Libs brains so small I think even that hole would miss the mark.

Politically, Colorado is lost for 25 years and probably more. The situation is somewhat comparable to California in about 1997 or so.
In presidential elections, the GOP would probably need to be winning nationally by at least 56-44 to have a chance in CO. And honestly I think it would need to be about 57-43. So in other words, a Reagan/Mondale type of election or something very similar.

First they inflitrated all of our institutions, then higher offices. Now they are going to try to disarm us.
Queue up Pelvis and commietometo tell us how no one is coming for our guns again.
