On April 10, 2025, Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed Senate Bill 25-003, a devastating blow to the Second Amendment. This unconstitutional law, effective August 1, 2026, bans the sale and purchase of most semiautomatic firearms with detachable magazines—rifles, shotguns, and handguns millions use for self-defense, hunting, and sport. It imposes a state-issued permit, a 12-hour training course, and sheriff approval, turning a God-given right into a bureaucratic nightmare. This isn’t about safety; it’s about control. Criminals won’t comply, but law-abiding Coloradans will be disarmed or criminalized.
SB25-003 is a blueprint for anti-gun states like California and New York to erode our rights further. Its permitting system, overseen by Colorado Parks and Wildlife, risks creating a gun registry ripe for abuse. Despite 95% public opposition at hearings, Polis ignored the people and the Constitution. This law violates recent Supreme Court rulings like Bruen, which protect our right to bear arms.
We must act now to stop this overreach from spreading nationwide. Congress can pass legislation to preempt state gun grabs, and the courts must strike down SB25-003. Your voice is critical!
