Welcome back to Shooting The Breeze with Franktown Firearms, where we dive into the critical issues surrounding our Second Amendment rights. Today, we’re delving deep into the storm of gun control bills sweeping through Colorado.

Colorado, once a beacon of Western independence, is now setting a troubling precedent with its liberal gun control policies. Even amid the silence of mainstream media, Karen Murray of Franktown Firearms, based in Franktown, Colorado, is shining a spotlight on this crucial issue on the KLZ show.

Democrats in the state are pushing a barrage of gun control bills that mirror policies seen in California. From banning so-called “assault weapons“ to imposing an 11% tax on gun and ammunition sales, the assault on our rights is relentless. And let’s not overlook their attempts to disarm law-abiding citizens in “sensitive” areas like parks, banks, and college campuses.

But what’s truly concerning is the deceptive nature of these bills. They aim not only to ban firearms labeled as “assault weapons” but also to restrict a vast majority of semi-automatic firearms, including handguns and shotguns. This isn’t just an attack on our rights; it’s a direct threat to our freedoms.

And who bears the brunt of these measures? Women. These laws leave women vulnerable to crime, stripping them of the very tools that could empower them to defend themselves. The AR-15, unfairly demonized by the media, actually levels the playing field for women, providing them with a crucial means of self-defense.

But it’s not just about firearms; it’s about fundamental rights. Colorado’s lawmakers are out of touch with the values of Americans. While the nation embraces constitutional carry, Colorado takes a step backward with each new restriction. And the consequences are clear: higher crime rates and diminished freedoms.

Yet, amidst this onslaught, there’s hope. People like Karen Murray from Franktown Firearms and countless others are standing up and speaking out against these egregious infringements. The grassroots resistance is strong, with hundreds lining up to testify against the “assault weapons” ban bill.

But the battle is far from over. Bills like HB 24-1310, aiming to disarm school staff, and HB24-1270, seeking to burden gun owners with liability insurance, continue to threaten our rights. We must remain vigilant, united, and unwavering in our defense of liberty.

So, join us as we continue Shooting The Breeze, keeping you informed, empowered, and ready to defend our constitutional rights against the tide of tyranny. Because in the fight for freedom, every voice matters, and every shot counts.
