Starting in August 2026, the manufacture, sale and purchase of certain semiautomatic firearms that can accept detachable ammunition magazines will be outlawed in Colorado
As fascism rears it’s ugly head, the Democratic Party says bow down and let it happen.
I understand where you’re coming from. Used to feel the same. But now I just think my right to walk into Bobs Bait Shack and Firearms and buy a rifle is worth less than people’s right to not be shot on the street or in school by people our mental health system has failed.
Everyone will come down on a different side of that. But I think it’s a good discussion.
It’s interesting to see this post and you’re comment because just recently I was thinking about how I’d gladly give up guns and my 2nd amendment right if it meant we could have gun control and gun crime similar to that of the UK or Japan instead of what we have today.
I thought the point of the right to bear arms was about freedom. If you need consent from a sheriff and it’s based on their feelings, it’s giving them freedom to take rights away.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a US citizen and guns are banned here, but the main reason for it seems to be playing out, and taking those freedoms away could be massively dangerous. More so than the threat of gun violence right now. How could any opposition defend themselves being shipped off to El Salvador en masse if a secretary of state things you contradict foreign policy goals?

I just don’t see how making lawful gun ownership more expensive prevents bad people from doing bad things with guns.
It has nothing to do with the expense, it’s the training. I agreed with you that the training should be free.
