On Saturday, March 11, the Colorado House of Representatives passed HB23-1219 44 to 20. Gun control fanatics are moving this bill quickly, as HB23-1219 has already been referred to its next committee and scheduled for a hearing in the senate.
Today, March 16 at 1:30 p.m., HB23-1219 is scheduled to be heard in the Senate State, Veterans, & Military Affairs Committee. Please use our take action button to email the members of the committee urging them to OPPOSE HB-1219.
HB23-1219 imposes an arbitrary three-day delay on gun owners taking possession of their firearms and makes this delay longer or indefinite if authorities fail to complete a background check during that time.
Researchers have shown time and again that waiting periods do nothing to reduce violent crime and stand in the way of lawful self-defense and the purchase of firearms for recreational hunting and shooting. This is yet another “wish list” item for anti-gun politicians who simply want to restrict our freedom.
Make sure you share this information with your family, friends, and fellow sportsmen as committee members need to hear the opposition to HB23-1219. Also, encourage them to sign-up for updates and join the Sportsmen’s Alliance.
