GOP Asks Attorney General to Review Colorado Gun Control Law

Colorado Republicans are calling on the U.S. Department of Justice to review Colorado’s latest gun control law, citing questions about its constitutionality.

Democratic Gov. Jared Polis last week signed into law Senate Bill 25-003, which bans the sale or purchase of semi-automatic rifles that take detachable magazines unless individuals secure a “firearms safety course eligibility card” from local law enforcement and completes a state-approved firearm education course.

“Because of the unconstitutionality as well as the imminent risk posed to Coloradans by eliminating their right to firearms as a means for self-defense, it is our belief that the passage of SB25-003 constitutes an emergency for our state and calls for federal intervention,” said a letter sent this week by 22 Republicans in the Colorado House of Representatives to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi.


Earlier this month, Bondi launched the Second Amendment Task Force aimed at realigning the DOJ’s policies to protect law-abiding gun owners.
