The resounding theme continues. A litany of Democrats sponsoring yet another bill to restrict your firearms-related activities. This time, they’re trying to restrict gun barrels. Need a new barrel? They want it to be transferred through a FFL. And to top off the package, they want to maintain a database of transactions. Meet Senate Bill 26-043.
The bill requires a firearm barrel to be sold or transferred in person
by a federally licensed firearm dealer. A person who is not a federally
licensed firearm dealer shall not possess a firearm barrel with the intent
to sell or transfer, or with the intent to offer to sell or transfer, the firearm
barrel. Unlawful sale of a firearm barrel and unlawful possession with
intent to sell a firearm barrel are each an unclassified misdemeanor.
In their infinite wisdom, they’ve decided to treat barrels as the actual firearm. This also applies to estates.
A TRANSFER SALE OF A FIREARM BARREL BY AN EXECUTOR OR ADMINISTRATOR OF AN ESTATE OR A TRUSTEE OF A TRUST CREATED IN A WILL MUST BE6
CONDUCTED BY A FEDERALLY LICENSED FIREARM DEALER
And now the kicker. This for YOUR safety!
The general assembly finds, determines, and declares that this act is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety or for appropriations for the support and maintenance of the departments of the state and state institutions.
This was sold as a way to stop “ghost” guns. The bill has passed committee and will now go to the House and Senate before it heads to the governor’s desk. Democrats hold the majority, so it’s likely that this will pass. Colorado, call your legislators and tell them to vote no.
