2026 Legislation Currently being considered
The 2026 state legislature is at it again. The legislation in blue is Positive for gun owners, but given the makeup of our legislature, don’t expect it to pass.

The bill adds health-care facilities, behavioral health treatment facilities, K-12 schools, and institutions of higher education as institutional petitioners that may petition a court for an extreme risk protection order.

2025 Legislation
The 75th Colorado General Assembly has adjourned sine die, after 120 days of continuous and relentless attacks on your Second Amendment rights.
The 2025 legislative session will long be heralded as a historic assault on the Second Amendment. The worst-case scenario of erasing the fundamental and constitutional protections of the Second Amendment with the stroke of a pen came true for Coloradans and should be noted by all freedom-loving Americans! With Governor Jared Polis’ signature on three consequential firearm bills, the stark reality is that these laws will take effect next year, and while the legal fight will continue, it is critical for citizens to fully understand what is coming, in terms of the application and effect of these egregious laws
SB 25-003: Concerning prohibited activity involving semiautomatic firearms, and, in connection therewith, prohibiting the manufacture, distribution, transfer, sale, and purchase of specified semiautomatic firearms, classifying a device that increases the rate of fire of a semiautomatic firearm as a dangerous weapon, and making an appropriation.
HB 25-1133: Concerning requirements for the retail sale of ammunition for firearms, and, in connection therewith, establishing requirements for the delivery of ammunition sold at retail.
HB25-1238: Concerning requirements for gun shows.
HB25-1225: Concerning the creation of the “Freedom From Intimidation In Elections Act” to prohibit an individual from intimidating, threatening, or coercing any individual for engaging in certain election-related activities.
HB25-1250 requires schools to distribute anti-gun propaganda to all students and parents under the guise of “gun violence prevention.”
HB25-1314 grants certain tax collectors in the Department of Revenue police officer status and tasks them with policing gun stores on all matters of Colorado law, not just tax issues, encouraging harassment and lawfare against businesses in the firearms industry.
SB25-034 is a “self-red flag bill” that encourages individuals to surrender their Second Amendment rights by filling out a Voluntary Do-Not-Sell Firearms Waiver, rendering themselves prohibited persons.
SB25-158 increases requirements for firearms businesses to sell to law enforcement agencies, and requires law enforcement agencies to destroy surplus firearms.
SB25-205 creates a firearm registry by requiring local law enforcement agencies to operate a firearms serial number database to track possession of individual firearms.
SB25-295 puts Prop. KK’s unconstitutional tax revenue from firearms and ammunition into a new cash fund, giving the state more discretion with the funds than was proposed in the measure approved on last November’s ballot.
