Colorado, with its Democrat governor, Democrat House, Democrat Senate and Democrat state Supreme Court, which flagrantly tried to impose its own politics and ban President Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot only to get slammed by the U.S. Supreme Court, has turned itself into a haven for leftists.
And as leftists are apt to do, sometimes they go too far.
As it has now with a new gun restriction.
A report from broadcaster KDVR-TV explained a list of elected officials representing the Centennial State in Congress, as well as a list of sheriffs, are asking Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate the state for violating the Constitution.
The Colorado State Shooting Association organized the letter that cites the law that also is the target of a lawsuit.
“We respectfully request that the Second Amendment Enforcement Task Force launch a thorough investigation into Colorado’s anti-Second Amendment agenda,” the letter explained.
Bondi had confirmed the creation of that task force just a short time earlier.
Its goal is to advance President Donald Trump’s “pro-gun agenda and protect gun owners from overreach.”
The report noted an official for the state organization, Huey Laugesen, confirmed that “tens of thousands” of voters’ signatures already had been collected in protest of the leftist ideology adopted by Democrats.
“When we have government coming in and putting in insurmountable obstacles for a lot of people, and particularly low-income individuals who are much more likely to be victimized by violent criminals, that’s a major problem. That’s some serious overreach,” Laugesen said. “We won’t stand for it because it’s a very dangerous path that we’re headed down.”
Colorado repeatedly has imposed restrictions on guns and ammunition over the past few years, prompting 37 of the state’s counties to declare themselves to be “Second Amendment Sanctuaries.”
The newest scheme will demand that anyone seeking to buy a semiautomatic firearm with a detachable magazine, a common self-defense weapon, must buy a permit after getting a background check and special state-mandated “training.”
Jared Polis, the governor, claimed, “Again we want to make sure that it was a real thing to get that learning … overall I really think this bill will make Colorado communities safer and prevent both accidents as well as reducing violence and ultimately that means saving lives while protecting our Second Amendment rights and of course holding up Colorado’s proud tradition of sport shooting and hunting.”
Ray Elliott, chief of the shooting association, called out the governor for his claims.
“Senate Bill 3 is not about public safety — it’s a deliberate attempt to disarm law-abiding Coloradans and erode our constitutional protections. We are calling on Attorney General Bondi and the DOJ’s Second Amendment Task Force to intervene and hold the State of Colorado accountable for its flagrant violations of the Second Amendment.”
The letter cites the state’s agenda to create a “burdensome permit-to-purchase” plan that assaults the constitutional rights of law-abiding residents.
Signers include U.S. Reps. Jeff Crank, Lauren Boebert, Jeff Hurd and Gabe Evans, along with long list of sheriffs.
Also signing the letter were all of the Republicans in Colorado’s General Assembly.
