Colorado's Ugly Gun Ban, Gets a Lot Uglier
Colorado's Senate Bill 3, initially an assault weapon ban, has evolved into a complex set of regulations imposing mandatory training and waiting periods for certain semi-automatic firearms. This analysis from Washington Gun Law TV highlights the 'specified semi-automatic firearm' definition, which includes gas-operated handguns with detachable magazines, and details the bifurcated training requirements: either a hunter safety certificate plus a 4-hour course, or a standalone 12-hour course, both with a 90% test pass rate. The speaker criticizes these measures as arbitrary barriers to constitutional rights, effectively replacing an outright ban with an unconstitutional licensing scheme.
