It seems that when we weren't paying attention yesterday, Colorado's governor signed into law an new bill that would restrict the rights of Colorado residents and visitors to possess certain firearms. According to the Colorado Sun.
Starting in August 2026, the manufacture, sale and purchase of certain semiautomatic firearms that can accept detachable ammunition magazines will be outlawed in Colorado.
That will include AR-15 and AK-47 rifles, as well as a long list of their popular variants. Senate Bill 3 will also affect tactical shotguns and a small number of handguns.
The banned weapons would only be available for purchase to anyone who is otherwise allowed to purchase a gun if they have a magazine with a maximum capacity of 15 rounds that is welded, epoxied or soldered on. Right now, those kinds of weapons are rarely made.
The bill also immediately bans so-called rapid-fire trigger devices, like bump stocks, which can make a semiautomatic weapon fire at a rate similar to that of an automatic gun.
It seems to me that a number of lawsuits are virtually inevitable. I don't imagine that the Colorado governor has ever read the 2nd Amendment. He is certainly unfamiliar with the concept of firearm ownership
Classic case of “Mind over Matter”. If the governor don’t mind (the consequences), it don’t matter (til he’s thrown out, hopefully, and faces second amendment suits).

It will float up to SCOTUS and be shot down. This will take years.

He signed it into law in his office with no fanfare. He has Presidential ambitions.
