Colorado Gun Control Bills Target Homemade Firearms and Barrel Sales

Summary

Colorado is advancing two gun control bills: House Bill 1144, which passed the House 40-25, prohibits 3D printing of firearms and related components, and restricts digital instruction sales. Senate Bill 43, passed by the Senate 19-16, mandates that firearm barrels be sold in person by FFLs to individuals 18 or older, requiring sales records for five years. Both bills are expected to be signed by Governor Jared Polis and are anticipated to face Second Amendment challenges under the Bruen decision.
