SB25-003 says, in part:
The bill defines a “specified semiautomatic firearm” as a semiautomatic rifle or semiautomatic shotgun with a detachable magazine or a gas-operated semiautomatic handgun with a detachable magazine. The bill prohibits knowingly manufacturing, distributing, transferring, selling, or purchasing a specified semiautomatic firearm; except that a person may transfer a specified semiautomatic firearm to an heir, an individual residing in another state, or a federally licensed firearm dealer.

Yes there are some but they are hostages kind of like Americans left behind in Afghanistan.
Semi-auto rifles have been around since 1903. The democratic promise from 1962 till 1984 was that “Rifles would not be affected.” from all their attempts to ban handguns.
Then in 1984 they realized rifles were a target of opportunity to be banned and made a grab for them.
“Never let a crisis go to waste!”
How California created a crisis in 1989 to ban semi auto rifles...
They wrote a horrible AW rifle ban bill which had so much opposition the bill was pulled and shelved.
Then the state created a crisis when they released Pat Purdy from a mental institution, allowed him to violate State and Federal laws by buying a rifle in Oregon and a handgun in California, passing the waiting periods and background checks.
He then went and shot up the Stockton School yard killing several students and himself.
The shelved AW ban bill was pulled out and passed before opposition could be mounted against it.
Colo. is typical of the socialist state,,,,,keep destroying residences rights until communism becomes the norm.
They really should read the 2nd amendment to the Constitution Of The United States Of America, particularly the words “ . . . shall not be infringed.”.
Nope, they’re mostly Californians now.
/sarc
And then jail these treasonous scumbags.
Will the last American out of Colorado please bring the Flag!
LOL! Colorado is quickly becoming California!!! PRETTY FING SAD!
And it’s likely that people will not comply. And there they would remain, in your closet, safe, or hidden away. But there is a more insidious risk we don’t often discuss.
Even though you can keep the ones you have (for now), every person at a shooting range who sees you with it can note it and your license plate... for someday when confiscation comes and they offer rewards.
Every relative or ex-wife who knows you “had guns” would be lying in wait for their chance.
God forbid you ever used it, every cop arriving would be well trained that that kind of gun is illegal to sell and they are going to start digging deeper.
New Mexico just now almost passed a law that any so called “gas operated” firearm would have to be registered annually, and it would have to be notarized and if you were off your property, you had to carry that paper on your person.
It failed, barely....
New Mexico, like Colorado has a bumper crop of what the British call “head girls” who graduate high in their class, festooned with awards and honors, then they go off to Stanford, Yale, U of Virginia, etc.... they get some degree in public policy or something “XYZ Studies”.
Then they flock back and get elected to the legislature.
Bad things are afoot.
Isn’t that the way Nikita Khrushchev said they would put communism in America?
We left Aurora in 2020 after retiring and moved to a red state. I miss the hunting out there, but I’m glad we left especially how far they have fallen.
Gun laws are interpreted & enforced by people who have very little knowledge on the subject. The difference between “gas operated” and “blow-back” will not even be recognized.

The law applies to new sales including person to person transfers (unless the transfer is to a relative). I expect an incremental (progressive) tightening of the law.
It will go to the Supreme Court.
My dad... I never thought he’d leave Colorado, but at 75 he’s looking for a new home in North Carolina. Giving up 40 acres and an awesome house less than two miles from San Isabell.
Got run out by California Liberals.
Looks like it’s all about AR and AK platforms, long and short barrels with or without the pistol brace. I don’t know of any gas operated pistols other than the short ARs and AKs.
“as a semiautomatic rifle or semiautomatic shotgun with a detachable magazine or a gas-operated semiautomatic handgun with a detachable magazine.” They don’t list the M60 or M240. So that’s good for me, and I don’t live in Colorado.
