Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main concern regarding Colorado's proposed "assault weapons" ban?

The primary concern is that Colorado's proposed "assault weapons" ban is exceptionally broad, aiming to ban approximately 80% of semi-automatic pistols, shotguns, and handguns, extending far beyond typical rifle bans and impacting a vast number of common firearms.

How might mandatory firearm liability insurance affect gun owners in Colorado?

Mandatory firearm liability insurance in Colorado could disproportionately affect lower-income individuals, increasing the cost of gun ownership. Critics also fear that a limited number of insurance providers may offer coverage, leading to monopolies and exorbitant prices, effectively pricing some citizens out of firearm ownership.

What are the proposed regulations for securing firearms in vehicles in Colorado?

Colorado is considering legislation that would mandate specific methods for securing firearms in vehicles, such as requiring them to be in a hard case. The concern is that these mandates may not be effective against determined thieves and could be a stepping stone to further restrictions on vehicle carry.

What actions can citizens take to oppose new gun control bills in Colorado?

Citizens can oppose new gun control bills by contacting their Colorado representatives via email and phone, participating in testimony (in-person or remotely), and paying close attention to local elections. Resources like Gunfunny.com and Rally for Your Rights can assist in finding representatives and understanding legislative processes.
