On the first day of the new legislative session in Colorado, anti-gun Democrat lawmakers introduced one of the most sweeping bans on so-called “assault weapons” ever considered.
Under Senate Bill 3, the purchase, sale and manufacture of semi-automatic guns that accept detachable ammunition magazines would be banned in the state, taking in a wide swath of popular rifles, pistols and shotguns.
According to the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA):
Senate Bill 25-003 bans so-called “specified semi-automatic firearms,” defined in the bill as “…a semi-automatic rifle or semi-automatic shotgun with a detachable magazine or a gas-operated semi-automatic handgun with a detachable magazine.” According to NRA-ILA, Semi-automatic firearms with detachable magazines have existed for well over a century, and these platforms definitely fit the definition of “in common use” as set forth by the District of Columbia V.
