Colorado’s mad scramble to nullify the Second Amendment received powerful pushback last week from one of the state’s most outspoken law enforcement leaders.

Senate Bill 25-003 seeks to ban semi-automatic rifles and shotguns and establish a permit-to-purchase system as an impediment to exercising Second Amendment rights. El Paso County Sheriff Joe Roybal criticized the scheme as unconstitutional.

“By banning the purchasing, selling, and manufacturing of semi-automatic firearms used by thousands of law-abiding citizens for home and personal safety, this legislation not only jeopardizes the fundamental right to self-defense but also infringes on inherent constitutional rights, setting a dangerous legal precedent for the future of the Second Amendment in Colorado,” Roybal told lawmakers. 

The sheriff blasted those who claim the measure will reduce violent crime. 

“Proponents of the bill claim it will help curb gun violence; however, SB 25-003 will have the opposite effect,” the sheriff warned. “This bill effectively targets law-abiding gun owners rather than criminals, who, by definition, do not follow the law and will obtain a firearm through illegal channels.”

After considerable pushback from gun rights advocates, the measure was amended in February.

Colorado residents would continue to be allowed to purchase popular sporting rifles after receiving government permission. If a resident completed the state’s Hunter Safety Course or has a concealed carry permit, they must then take four hours of firearm safety training.

Those without the course or concealed carry permit would have to receive 12 hours of safety training just to apply for the purchase permit.

But Roybal skewered this change by noting that residents already undergo background checks. He further charged that the law would result in a state-mandated registry of all gun owners.

“The only logical reason I can think of for a state-sanctioned gun registry,” the sheriff charged, “is to have the ability to confiscate firearms in the future.”
