Yup also likely. The only thing so far scheduled for the Senate is CBI thing. Thats what they need to actually enforce any of this stuff. I suspect they pass the CBI/gestapo bill and THEN the AWB comes alive. |

I haven't see that at shops in Littleton, Lakewood or Westminster, although, with the new Jeffco sheriff, that will probably change regardless of any new laws. |

I doubt they'll stop selling them. |

Unless they change the law saying thos kits are illegal guess what.....Shops will still sell them. The reason why they don't break em down is because the law is bullshit. |

You think the CBI "gun crime" people give a shit about actual "gun crime"? No, they will be going after guys like you and me, and gunshops. All the laws this year are pretty bad, but aside from the AW ban which is easily the worst, the CBI thing and Carry restrictions are next. And the Dems are also absolutely punitively going after any FFL with more fees and bullshit too. How is taxing FFL's more gonna fight crime? Right its not, its just to fuck them over. Nothing about this is about public safety, its about punishing anyone that has anything to do with guns. |

Do I think these assholes are gonna go door to door? No. They'll hit up all the local big LGS and subpoena their sales records. Then they will fine and jail the owners out of business, just like that shop in Washington. If their booking numbers get low, maybe they data mine some post 2013 buyers and make examples of them too. |

Btw I'm not trying to be combative I just know the shops around here. Yeah the big boys will comply but they already do.
Honestly aside from just writing reps etc I'm watching the days tick down in this legislative session. The longer it delays the more it gets pushed back. |

Originally Posted By saigamanTX: You really think these shops are going to just bend over aren't you? View Quote I'm torn on your point. I think they've soft-resisted as much as they can. I don't think they could weather the storm of this AWB passing. I don't see how any firearm retailer other than cabelas or bass pro or scheels could survive it. So I think if it passes, they are in a bad, bad spot. My LGS, who is extremely vocal on these infringements, doesn't care one bit about the mag ban. However, when the brace ban came around, every single one was taken off the wall/floor. I know, fed vs state, but they complied. However, I do think a couple would resist - find some kind of loophole or unwritten exemption. They'd be running a razors edge though. One slip up or bad press and it's all over. I am generally of the mindset that the stores won't survive. That's the goal with this, because outright confiscation is a bridge too far. Kill the supply, destroy the market, and eventually it'll fall out of use. In the meantime, it's one more checkmark for gun-control dominance by the left to use in a federal setting. |

View Quote Between this and the liability law, I could see this taking out a very significant percent of gun stores. I already know of two that shut down from the liability one. I think this is 100% the strategy they're going for now that homemade ones are banned. |

Familiarity and prolonged exposure without incident leads to a loss of appreciation of risk.

View Quote On top of the issues you mention, the stores have to have insurance. Especially if they have a range, but in general all retail stores of any sort have to have some sort of insurance. Insurance comapnies might not want to mess with a client who is playing chicken with local gun laws. |

And that bank ain't gonna want to see charges for "assault rifles" on em. |

They tried ammo bans and regulations. Didn't work. Now they're on to sales and repairs. It worked in Washington. It worked in Indiana (I think? Aren't sales all fucked up there now?)

There are a shitload in IL that are moving forward. If this actually makes it all the way I assume RMGO or CSSA will sue the next day, but shit will take time and money to fight till SCOTUS says otherwise. But legally they have no leg to stand on post Bruen on any of it. Lol there were no laws banning parts or sales or AWs etc. |

The CO house passed the budget today, so much more likely we'll see movement on the AWB soon. Let's hope not.

And they don't have a leg to stand on pre Bruen either, but here we are. I don't recall the other states cases except Washington. All I know is this seems to be the new trend in lawfare from Brady campaign and mom's demand bedroom action. They draft a bill and pay sympathetic lawyers to comb it for passability. Then find a couple junior communist reps to sign on, and were off to the races. I want a young, conservative, almost libertarian junior rep I can pass draft bills to with a 20 folded in as well |

If it makes it there will 100% be a suit. The main question is if it will be stayed like previous efforts.

Also here is a decent piece on all the bullshit. Likely won't matter but at least its a national news outlet https://www.foxnews.com/politics/colorado-dems-push-sweeping-gun-control-laws-flying-under-national-radar-public-fed-up |

I spoke to my local gun guy at Murdochs.
Even the big boys are watching this closely. We can't blink but my gut is telling me they are dangling this carrot to distract us from the other stuff they are trying to push through. The vagueness of how this bill is written is also in our favor. |
