Colorado: Multiple Gun Bills in House Committee on Monday

Dear [Lawmaker],

As a fellow resident of Colorado, I urge you to SUPPORT HB 26-1072 and to OPPOSE HB 26-1126 and SB 26-004.

House Bill 26-1072 repeals extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs), commonly known as "red flag" laws, and enshrines that Coloradan's right to keep and bear arms cannot be denied without stringent due process.

House Bill 26-1126, an "FFL-Killer" bill, overhauls state-level "industry standards" for FFLs, and includes:
-Requiring a state permit for a dealer to transfer firearms, not merely to conduct the business of dealing.
-Expanding mandatory training requirements for dealers and their employees to also include "responsible persons."
-Implementing costly mandatory security requirements at the dealers' expense.
-Expanding record-keeping obligations to cover all firearm transactions, except destructive devices, shifting the emphasis away from only pistols and revolvers.
-Fines for violations can reach as high as $100,000 for a dealer's second or later violations.

Senate Bill 26-004 expands who can request extreme risk protection orders to include "institutional petitioners," enabling schools, universities, and healthcare facilities to "red flag" individuals.

Thank you for all that you do for our state.

Sincerely,
______
