To steal our rights

HB24-1292 is on the voting block for today.

Write your representative and tell them NO. Please, it's the last thing we can do to deter this. Take 5 minutes, write them.

Here is a list, with the districts, and every single email address.

Please write them. It can be super simple. Here, just copy paste this if you don't want to write something:

"As a fellow resident of Colorado, I urge you to OPPOSE HB24-1292 the semi-automatic weapons ban. Semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15 are the most popular rifles in the United States for home protection and defensive skills-based firearm training and marksmanship competitions, and they’re increasingly popular among hunters. Banning such rifles will do nothing to stop violence and will only make criminals out of law-abiding citizens. Thank you. "

God save our state

Emailed my reps. Both Rs so I expect they'll vote against anyway.

Is there any news on when the vote will be today?

Sheriff doesn't know how they would be expected to enforce this. Their citizens wont stand for it, and it puts them in a bad place.

This dumb cunt wants to argue that "people who have legal access snap and open fire" and that causes more damage. Shes trying to get some kind of predictive lawfare going.

She says we banned bombs for that reason, why not guns.

Sheriff response:

"there is a pattern of behavior and mental health flags that predate a shooting. Identifying them is not the law enforcements job"

"Our mental health system releases mentally ill people to terrorize the people"

you didnt answer me, people who can get them legally and have access to the tools [guns] they get them then can cause harm with them. thats what I want to know. the potential for harm with these guns in our society.

If "Assault weapons" are UNIQUELY LETHAL BY DESIGN. THEY ENTAIL TACTICAL FEATURES
DESIGNED FOR WARFARE, REFINED TO MAXIMIZE KILLING LARGE NUMBERS, then they have no reason to be in police use. The peace officer exemption is specifically designed to enable mass arrests and roundup of unwanted citizens.
