Colorado lawmakers reintroducing 'red flag' gun bill

On that site is a listing of the counties that will be 2nd Amendment sanctuaries; Park County is one.

Whether they had gone to his home to evict him, or to simply remove his weapons, he would've fired upon them because he had made the statement that he would have a shoot out if they ever came for him (which he knew they would because he was in default on his home).

I worried about this very scenario when this bill came up; however, I think it's better than doing nothing like we are now. What tipped me over into supporting it was Deputy Parrish's sheriff being strongly in support of this bill and the domestic violence statistics.

We all agree that mentally ill people and people with a criminal record/history of violent or abusive behavior should not have guns, but there's no process in place to properly screen gun buyers before they purchase them unlike in other countries, plus mental illness can develop after purchase. This bill gives those who would suffer most at the hands of their attackers a method by which to make themselves and the community safer, while still offering the accused recourse.

A question that can only be answered by that Department. This bill, not yet law, is fraught with potential danger to civilians and law enforcement.
In other threads, Democrat candidates are discussed with pros and cons of each. Please know that to a man/woman they all support doing this on a federal level.
