An amendment to Senate Bill 3 would give sheriffs broad power to deny an application to buy certain semiautomatic guns that accept detachable magazines if they have a "reasonable belief that documented previous behavior by the applicant makes it likely the applicant will present a danger to themself or others"

I love how CO Democrats are just watching the rise of the Orange Reich, and their solution so far is to ban modern firearms and allow sheriffs to decide that black people can’t get an exception to the ban.

    1. This is already achievable through surveillance capitalism.
    2. Right now we are in a unusual state of lawlessness. But for normal countries, crafting policy to enable and encourage armed insurrection is not freedom, it’s insanity. Like a fire department distributing thermite and napalm by the gallon.

      Two wrongs don’t make a right.

      And wasn’t that the whole point of the 2nd amendment?

      Logic isn’t going to work here…

      Some people lie about why they have certain beliefs as a reason for a political stance. When those beliefs are shown to be illogical, they pick a new one and keep the political stance

      You can poke holes in 100 of their beliefs one after another, the political stance will never change, because they won’t say the indefensible belief that really led them to that stance
