Send everyone responsible for this clearly unconstitutional system to jail for life.
It's not enough to sue in courts, we have to ruin their entire lives to make sure that this never happens again.

So you want to buy a semi-auto firearm with a detachable magazine in Colorado after August 1st?
Here's what you'll need to do:
- Register in the state’s new system
- Find and pay a place to conduct a special name-based background check, even though there is no statewide vendor network and many sheriffs do not know where to send you
- Bring your results of the background check and your government ID to the sheriff
- Pay Colorado Parks and Wildlife $52
- Pay the sheriff another fee and wait for an eligibility card
- Find a state-approved instructor to take a class and pay $200-$500. Give up 12 hours over at least two separate days
- Pass the government’s exam with a 90 percent
- Wait for your result to be entered into the database
- Finally go to a gun store and have the dealer verify you in the database
- Undergo another background check.
- Pay the taxes, including Colorado’s 6.5 percent excise tax
- Wait 3 days before taking the firearm home
Oh, and did I mention that most of this isn't set up and ready to go yet?
I can't tell you how many people are just now finding out about this. They've asked me what they can do to stop it. My answer is, they should have helped us fight last year when we were desperately asking people for help.
