KDVR-The Senate in Colorado on Friday voted on its approval of the amendments that the House of Representatives relied on a draft law described by Democratic lawmakers as a means “to implement and implement the entire Colorado magazine, Colorado.”
This means that the draft law is now heading to the office of the governor of the state, Jared Police, where he can sign the procedure in the law.
The draft law will require any person in Colorado after August 1, 2026, to obtain a permit and complete the safety of firearms safety to buy semi -automatic firearms that accept sedimentable magazines. The draft law also would prevent any sales of fast fire conversion devices, which allow a semi -automatic rifle user to treat it like a fully automatic weapon. These devices include stumbling blocks and bilateral stimuli.
“It is the high -capacity magazines that put the” mass “in the mass shootings, which is why more than a decade has approved the legislation to prohibit magazines with more than 15 rounds of ammunition.” “This legislation is the last in the list of policies it worked on to develop evidence -based solution and reduce armed violence of all species. Colorado residents have imposed something about the public health crisis that is violence with firearms, and this is what we will do.”
The bill opponents said that this procedure will cost millions of dollars to the local offices, Colorado parks and wildlife to manage new requirements. These requirements are one of the following:
- Complete the Hunter education course approved by CPW and within five years of purchase, completed the basic firearms safety course
- Within five years before the purchase, he completed the extended firearms safety course, or
- He completed the emerging firearms safety course for more than five years before the purchase and the completion of the basic firearms safety cycle within five years before the purchase.
To achieve this, Sharif offices will be required to issue eligibility cards for the firearm safety cycle, with the requirements of that card, including the completion of the examination of the criminal registry record based on fingerprints.
In addition, the firearms safety cycle must include information on the use of safe weapons, federal and state firearms laws, decently and eliminating crises, and more time and more. Supporters of this measure say that the bill will not affect guns, common hunting rifles, semi -automatic weapons with fixed magazines and almost all pistols.
The draft law would prevent sales of semi -automatic pistols run by gas, but they do not affect the apostasy pistols, according to the sponsors. The bill also does not affect the possession of the currently owned firearms.
On March 18, Republicans in the House of Representatives expressed their concerns about the constitutionality of this procedure.
“This bill is a direct attack on arms owners committed to the law, adding an unnecessary bureaucratic, while not to do anything to address the increasing crime,” Representative Ryan Armagst said in a statement. “It is a denial political agenda as a general safety measure, and it threatens our constitutional rights.”
Douglas County Sherif Darine Wakeli appeared in front of legislators last week to testify against the bill.
“This law is a clear violation of the second amendment rights,” he said. Facebook campaign page.
the The measure was largely passed along the party lines. Democratic Senator Tony Xcom and Mark Snyder joined the Republicans in voting against this measure.
When he passed this procedure in Colorado House earlier this month, he told the Fox31 office in a statement that Police “appreciates” work “to help make Colorado more safe with supporting our freedom and the culture of fishing and sports in Colorado. He promised to review the final version of the bill.
