Correct. The reciprocal of legal is illegal. I have had many people from firearms-phobic states come into the shop to drool. But they CAN buy standard capacity magazines and other accessories not available in their home states.
Colorado has become the Maryland of the Intermountain West AND the Great Plains.
Best reason to stay out of Colorado as the men there must stand up and say no we will not obey your laws...Matter of fact you might want to have the State Police babysit you as we are coming for you some night....
Just one company in Decatur, Alabama makes parts for NATO M16’s and Colt AR-15’s to the tune of 20,000 every month.
The People of Colorado could easily fix this situation if they wanted to...
“Colorado governor signs bill banning manufacture,”
So that, in effect, if there are no gun mfrs. in CO then this bill has no real teeth except banning the sale?
“It is legal to sell a firearm to any person who can purchase that firearm in their home state.”
As long as the laws of that home state are not violated. If there is another requirement in the home state, like this permission to buy...they may not complete the sale without that.
You do need to ensure that the purchase and sale of the rifle comply with the laws of both your state and the state where you are making the purchase.
You cannot buy in an adjoining state as an end-run.
Are there any gun manufacturers in Colorado?
Virtue signalling, and if there are any gun factories that manufacture semi-autos within Colorado, also more unemployment and factory closures, in anticipation of 2026.
Curse you, John Denver. You infested Colorado with hippy-ism.
Criminals don’t obey laws.
Correct. Also, handguns can be sold to in-state residents only. However, you can sell a handgun to an out-of-state resident, but it must be shipped to an FFL dealer in their home state.
[“…what is the point of this bill? “
To erode the 2nd Amendment as much as they can get away with.]
Absolutely....it’s not about AR-15’s, it’s just to poke the camel’s nose under the 2nd Amendment tent.
In a sane country, this would be overturned by the USSC. Much like OR and WA making a person get a permit to purchase a gun or ammo. Of course from the State that doesn’t want you to purchase it. It is like applying for a CWP from the Governors office. If Sheriffs were not in charge of this in WA, you would never receive one.
This is not going to sit well with a lot of Coloradans......I know it won’t fly out around Fort Collins and West of there.
