Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main firearm lawsuits currently affecting Colorado?

Colorado is facing lawsuits challenging SB3 (permit-to-purchase), the mandatory three-day waiting period for firearm purchases, and a new 6.5% excise tax on firearms and ammunition. These cases address significant aspects of gun ownership rights and regulations within the state.

What is the significance of the New Mexico ruling on waiting periods for Colorado?

A New Mexico court struck down a 7-day waiting period. Since Colorado and New Mexico are in the same federal judicial circuit (the 10th Circuit), this ruling provides a strong legal precedent and argument for challenging Colorado's mandatory three-day waiting period.

What are the key provisions of Colorado's SB3 bill being challenged?

SB3, the permit-to-purchase bill, is being challenged for its reclassification of rapid-fire trigger devices (like bump stocks) as 'dangerous weapons,' making possession a felony. It also increases penalties for certain magazine capacities.

How does the new excise tax on firearms impact consumers in Colorado?

Colorado's HB24-1349 imposes a 6.5% excise tax on firearms, ammunition, and precursor parts. Lawsuits argue this tax infringes upon the constitutional right to bear arms, and there are concerns about how the collected funds are being allocated.
