If Polis hasn't hit his term limit yet he might not sign it.
ETA Polis is effectively "Term Limited".

You for one, don't have to comply because the bill exempts cops.I for one will not comply
I will not force others to comply is more of what I meant. I know my current boss will never enforce this, but who knows what the next election will bring. But I will never enforce or force other to comply with this. I will do everything I can to fight it.You for one, don't have to comply because the bill exempts cops.
"Grandfathering" is only a ploy to mitigate objections.No, it's not an empty gesture. It's a step towards citizen disarmament.
When I die I can't even will my firearms to my kids.

There's a legal principle that later, conflicting legislation automatically overrides earlier legislation. In other words, the latest enactment controls. So, the additional step of repealing the earlier law is not needed.There's already a law in Colorado prohibiting Firearms registration. They'll have to repeal that law first and then they'll just pass another law requiring registration.
For me, that's long been a problem with this board but when I mention it privately I seem to get strong resistance from people who, I guess, simply don't like politics.Yep!!! And with forum rules prohibiting politics I will leave it there since this is 100 percent because of a political party. Wife and I are trying to move, in the immortal words of Mr. Jim Nabors “ Back home again in Indiana”.
If I'm not mistaken, firearm and defensive use of force politics are a welcome topic of discussion here. The problem is when the political discussion wanders off that narrow subject and onto other major party positions which have little or nothing to do with the civilian ownership and usage of arms.Other boards have political arenas where such "loud" (e.g., all caps) is moderated and "gun politics" is discussed rather rationally.
The next step is, and I'll dig up the bill, is a requirement for all firearms owners to carry liability insurance. Which will require registration.
You are correct. Politics, in the very tight scope of how it directly relates to antigun laws and legislation is on topic. All Republicans this, or all Democrats that is not.
If one must debate politics, there's plenty of "gun" forums that do just that. I'm here to indulge in my passion for firearms and shooting and I appreciate THR just the way it is.Wake up, staff! Virtually all the anti-gun efforts have been the result of one party... but of course I cannot name it, lest this be too "Political."
This year it looks like it might have legs. I'm not banking on Polis doing the right thing and letting it die again.Last year the AW ban bill died in committee because Polis said he wouldn't sign it. This year?
Where have you been the last fifteen years?
I can see that the site may be sensitive to the "danger" of being identified with one party or the other, but that, in my opinion, falls directly in line with the anti-gunners' strategy.
Wake up, staff! Virtually all the anti-gun efforts have been the result of one party... but of course I cannot name it, lest this be too "Political."
Go ahead, delete this post as being off topic or political or unrelated to firearms, or any thin excuse you can think of, but the fact will remain... that in five or ten years, THR's "mission" will be moot.
I repeat: "The second amendment is no longer a matter of 'rights,' it's a matter of 'politics,' pure and simple."
It was, by the way, "Political" when it was first adopted.

Sorry about the messed-up multiple quotes. Tried several times to clean it up to no avail.I don't think naming the Democrat party as the political party with gun control as a political platform will get the post deleted, or the user receiving any adverse consequences (see how I just named the party!). BUT... it's just as easy to use "anti-gunners," or as many simply say "antis." Were we to delve into Democrats vs Republicans openly, that allows for references to issues beyond the RKBA.
Unfounded fear. Real departures from relevant politics can be moderated, so that's not an argument.
This isn't a child raising/birthing board, so we don't need to discuss the politics of abortion. Same with immigration, government entitlements/welfare, regulations, monetary policy, labor unions, greenhouse emissions, other environmental issues, taxation... yeah we all get the point. It's common knowledge that gun control is part of the Democrat party platform. We don't have to shout it out. This has many purposes, but to me the primary purpose [of the rule -Terry] is to not paint a Democrat gun owner who posts here with a broad brush and turn them off of the site when they may otherwise make good contributions to our knowledge base.
Irrelevant and my comment about moderation pertains. Think about that a bit.
And yes, we do have to shout it out. Or, as I said, THR will become irrelevant in a few years of the antis' unrelenting (and concentrated in one party) efforts to destroy a documented, enumerated, inherent, right of the people.
This IS a one-issue forum, however. Because of that, I do see benefit in keeping it partisan politics neutral (other than the RKBA).
I agree with the underlined. No reason the other can't be managed as I noted several times.
However, my distinct impression over the years is is that THR is pussyfooting around the underlying political reason for that one party's virulent pursuit of destroying second Amendment rights.
There are some voters who aren't a one-issue voter, and I personally would be grateful to remain friends with someone willing to change the gun control party from within.
Fine for you. But those willing to change the party from within are darned few. Most are in lockstep with the notion guns is bad.
Just as I am in lockstep with the notion guns is good. The inventors of our nation knew what they were talking about.
"Oh, and heck yeah, it IS totally a political issue, with one party driving the bus."
Give that man (Old Dog ) a "Hero" medal.
