Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key provisions of the new Colorado bill regarding ammunition sales?

The Colorado bill mandates that ammunition must be stored behind sales counters, similar to how certain medications are kept. It also raises the minimum age to purchase ammunition to 21, with specific exceptions for military, rural residents with hunter safety courses, and for use at shooting ranges.

Why is the Colorado ammunition storage law considered 'incremental gun control'?

Experts argue that laws like the Colorado ammunition storage requirement are 'incremental' because they may not significantly impact crime on their own but serve as leverage for future, more restrictive legislation. They create hurdles for legal gun owners and normalize increased regulation.

How does the Colorado ammo law affect 18-20 year olds?

The law prevents 18, 19, and 20-year-olds from legally purchasing ammunition in Colorado, despite them being able to vote, sign contracts, and serve in the military. This is seen as a significant restriction on their rights concerning legally owned firearms.

What are the potential future restrictions predicted based on the Colorado ammo law?

Based on the trend of incremental legislation, predictions include the eventual implementation of background checks for every ammunition purchase, monthly purchase limits, and potentially bans on specific ammunition calibers. These are seen as logical next steps in tightening firearm-related laws.
