The Colorado legislature decided not to pass HB24-1162 which would have made theft of a firearm a felony. How insane is that? They protect criminals.

[@ShaneRoberts1]

leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb24-1162

[@Toringar]

"Would have made"? How is theft of ANYTHING, let alone firearms, NOT a felony?

[@gunnydan25]

This is complex to explain but not difficult to understand. The Marxist/Commie left want crime and chaos. These problems enable them to pass the laws that get them the power they need or want so they let the criminals go that commit crime and on the opposite side of that coin make the laws to navigate owning a gun as overly cumbersome as they can to catch the innocent gun owner with no bad intent. Now they can target pro-gun people and make an example out of them which has a psychological effect that deters any new gun owner from wanting to own a gun or even carry one. Now the experience gun community gets smaller and smaller. They will use "Democracy" against that small group of people till guns are illegal. Tyrants will always talk as if they are a champion of democracy just like the lefts current hypocrisy. They can't stand democracy themselves and only like it when they know they have the numbers. The Important thing here is that we are not a "Democracy" Our founders even new that a true "Democracy" has its problems and can become a mob rule. You can't have rights if you are a democracy. Democracy can easily turn into a mob rule where a Constitutional Republic has individual rights that protect the minority from the majority. Don't let the democrats try to tell you any different. Corporation and Institutions don't want you having rights because it gets in their way and creates problems for them. This is why you have all these huge organizations also supporting the anti-gun movement. If we don't have guns then not only will the U.S. fall to tyrants but now the whole world will. People need to realize that the U.S. is the overseer of human rights and if we fall the whole world will fall. You just have to ask yourself who is trying to control speech? Who is trying to control freedom of religion? Who is trying to control guns? Who is trying to remove due process? The system only works because the people are not united. If we stand united they have no power!

There was a "mass shooting," as recorded in the statistics, in Colorado back in 2021 about a mile and a half from my apartment. Two drug dealers got in an argument at about 2AM in an apartment complex and began shooting at each other, one with a full auto Romanian AK-47, already illegal by federal law, that fired 30 rounds, a magazine capacity already illegal in Colorado, and the other had an illegally modified Glock 9mm for full auto fire, illegal by federal law, with a 50 round capacity magazine, again an illegal capacity magazine in Colorado. Bullets went through over a dozen apartments, including the bedroom of a young girl, but nobody was hurt, not even either of the drug dealers. One of the drug dealers was a local and the other was an illegal immigrant. Both were arrested, charged, and released without bail, and neither showed up for trial. Never been punished, and jailed for only the briefest of times. Yet, they want to punish US, the law abiding people, for this.

[@adamcuneo7189]

[@tobymorrow5585]

It is also important to know that the same party advocating for the storage law in Colorado and these other gun control measures voted down a proposed bill that would make theft of a firearm a felony. Currently, the law bases the severity of the theft charge on the value of the firearm, the same as any other property. As a result, the theft of most firearms, which are only worth on average $300 - $500, is typically only a misdemeanor. The penalty for failing to properly store your firearm is greater than the penalty faced by the person stealing it. It is obvious that the intent of these laws is to put obstacles in front of law abiding gun owners to make carrying and owning a gun inconvenient and discourage gun ownership as much as possible. The legislature is not making any effort to punish the criminals stealing and misusing firearms.

Great presentation. We all need to fight for our rights. I live in Colorado, and our local government has been neglecting the real problem with gun ownership. It's not our firearms. It's the folks that have them, whether legally obtained or not, that are mentally unstable. The amount of illegal immigrants in this state is a growing problem that our government isn't addressing, which in turn leads to more situations where good law-abiding citizens are being forced to defend themselves and family. People need to quit fearing our guns and start fearing the government who fears our guns. Keep up the fight and protect our 2A rights. There's a reason it's so high on the list. Without it, we are just subjects. God bless.

Very good video and I am so glad to see this action and the additional videos she has been posting lately on this subject. I have been very active in the 2A fight in Colorado for the last 10 years. I helped co-found a bill with Larry Liston to increase the penalties for firearms and ammunition theft and testified against the Mass shooting assault weapons ban of 2023. I fully agree that the Colorado 2A community has its head in the sand. Most don’t even know what’s going on and were surprised when I informed them of of the states actions when they came into my store. The only local 2A advocacy group is Rocky Mountain gun owners and they are not near as big enough to hold the line on this battle. The anti 2A legislation in The past 2 years has actually put a huge strain on the gun industry in Colorado, so much so that unfortunately I did have to make a business decision and relocate my business to another state in January of 2024 when an opportunity presented itself so that my business didn’t get caught in the middle of a license term or lease term when one of these bills stick and force my family into debt. I hated leaving my state that I grew up in. But I am still very proactive in spreading the word in and for Colorado with some of the most devastating bills coming to the senate floor in Colorado history. Colorado needs to stand up. Every single citizen matters in this fight. Call you state representatives, they HAVE TO TAKE YOUR CALL, Email them, show up.

As someone who was born in Texas and was transplanted to Colorado when I was 12, I'm starting to think that it may be time for me to go back to where I came from. With the current cost of living, housing prices, bipolar weather, and the 2A issues, this state just doesn't seem like it's worth it anymore.

[@cops312]

Yea and Texas will be there soon enough. No state is safe anymore, just a matter of time

[@zacharyfeehan832]

Brother, I was born in Oklahoma. Although I got here around 25ish, I feel the same way. I'd like to fight, take up arms, or protest, but I feel as if it is a lost cause. Besides, the people here still believe that out-of-staters are ruining the state. Plus, they are much too compliant in the face of tyranny. Maybe something will change my tune in a bit, but at the time of this writing, Colorado and her people are a lost cause. Rest in peace, Colorado. What you once were will swiftly be forgotten.

Please just keep donating to GOA, FPC, SAF, and whichever state organization you have- if every gun owner in the country would just donate the same amount of money that they spend on a half a case of ammo would be tens of millions of dollars more to get into the fight It costs upwards of $1 million to get a case all the way to the Supreme Court. We are fighting against billionaires and activists with nothing better to do than to try to strip our rights. Politicians won’t stand up for us and do the right thing and if they keep passing unconstitutional laws, we have three choices, support these groups that fight the battles in court, or two of the four boxes, the ballot box, or the cartridge box.

Even thought this law is unconstitutional it still prevents legal gunowners from using their guns until it goes to higher courts. affectively disarming the legal owners until the law works it's way through the courts. AND, does nothing to reduce crime or improve citizen safety...

[@brianbaker1842]

Excellent video. If any legitimate organization is challenging such anti-2A laws in the court systems I'm willing to be a named plaintiff. I've been fighting these laws since GCA68 was being debated in 1967. It's what got me involved in politics to begin with, when I was a young guy in college. I live in Castle Rock in Colorado. Vietnam vet (if that helps), retired, disabled, avid shooter and gun owner. I moved here from California to get away from such insanity. Looks like it didn't do much good, sadly.

[@Joe-Przybranowski]

I moved from Chicago to rural Arizona to be in a more sane place- But they are still coming for us.

[@curly__3]

The states and local governments explicitly do not have the right or jurisdiction to enforce anything having to do with weapons or the use or carry of weapons. That all falls under federal jurisdiction because that is a federally enumerated right and federal law. Allowing state and local governments to change and modify our rights and forcing citizens to assert their rights in court costing 10's or 100's of thousands of dollars, jail time or even costing their lives to do so is not legal. It is criminal. In order for the Constitution to be law and for the bill of rights to be law, they must be congruent on every square inch of US owned territory. PERIOD.

[@jonslg240]

California passed a law this year for an 11% tax on guns *AND AMMO* and nobody is talking about it, not even these two.

Absolutely and with this system you can spend thousands of dollars making that very argument in the courts while you rot, out of sight, in prison for decades hoping to eventually, maybe, get a toothless declaration from SCOTUS that agrees with you!
