I'd like to know more about this:
Last year, as part of a “criminal justice reform” effort, the Colorado legislature amended the Colorado Criminal Code to allow many convicted felons — including drug dealers and car thieves — to possess guns. The move to rearm convicted felons was supported by the state’s Democratic attorney general, Philip Weiser,
Dangerous felons can have guns — thanks partly to Phil Weiser.. The attorney general is a voting member of CCJJ and ... Colorado’s legislature passed the massive overhaul of sentencing for .. including the decriminalization of gun possession by those convicted of committing serious crimes...
On March 12, 2021, the Colorado Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice (CCJJ) formally met and discussed recommending a bill to revise sentencing and offenses.
The bill, ultimately titled Misdemeanor Reform, also snuck in a major change to the felony charge of Possession of a Weapon by a Previous Offender. Under the old law, convicted felons could not lawfully possess firearms. The new law, supported by Weiser, decriminalized possession of firearms for tens of thousands of convicted felons — including those convicted of drug dealing, aggravated car theft, business burglary and organized crime.
