Making your own firearms has always been legal in America. And it's not exactly easy. Even 3D printed guns take a lot of work.
I'm genuinely surprised Democrats were upset about the lack of a grandfather clause. I would have expected them to be happy about that, especially since that "spirit of Aloha" nonsense the state supreme court pulled.
Who is Joe Strummer?
The bill is obviously unconstitutional and has no chance of passing in a Republican Congress. So of course it's a good idea
New ccw $50 + whatever your county charges. Total is usually over $100. That's just to apply. You also have to pay for a class, which is usually around $200. Total for new ccw: about $300
Total for renewal: about $250
License for modern gun: unknown so far.
Regardless, this still gonna put the cost of lawful gun ownership out of reach for quite a few people. And for clarity's sake, those people tend to not be white.
You're not allowed to take the class unless you get the permit first. Your county sheriff can deny your permit for any reason they deem fit. And you still have to pay a nonrefundable application fee for the permit. All this law does is make lawful gun ownership more expensive than illegal gun ownership. How will that prevent crime? It sounds more like a great way to keep modern firearms out of a particular population that is historically on the lower end of socioeconomic class Kinda like how you had to pay a tax to vote. A tax that was a little too expensive for people of a certain socioeconomic class.
How does requiring a permit to take a class to apply for a modern gun (who's system must be funded by an already underfunded wildlife agency) going to stop someone from stealing a gun? How does it prevent someone from walking into a movie theater and shooting up the place? How does banning the guns least likely to be used in crime, prevent crime?
To get this training in CO, you have to apply for a permit first. And your county sheriff can deny you for any reason. So yeah, they can make sure only white people get modern guns. The training wouldn't be so bad if it was completely free, made available all over the state so rural people could do it, available everyday so poorer people don't have to take a day off of work, and if you pass you pass. None of this denying for any reason. Oh, and it needs to be offered in multiple languages. If there's a live fire portion, it can't be more difficult than what cops have to do.
But we all know that won't happen. This is just a way to make sure only the right looking people can get a gun.
Sheriffs will have broad authority to deny applications from people seeking to buy otherwise banned firearms, including those they believe may be a risk to themselves or others. Those who are rejected, however, could file a lawsuit seeking to reverse the decision.
Once someone gets an eligibility card, they must complete up to a dozen hours of training over two days, depending on whether they have already completed a hunter education course, and pass a test. At that point they would be allowed to purchase a weapon otherwise banned under Senate Bill 3.
Trump is a fascist!
Resist!
Also, don't you dare fight back. Only Trump and his goons should own a gun.

The SIG P320 requires too much training and safety knowledge for the average civilian cop to use. Other non cop civilians though? I'm sure most will be fine.
