Opinion
Fairfax, VA – -(Ammoland.com)- This week, the Colorado House Concurred on House Bill 1177, legislation that could derive an individual of their Second Amendment rights without due process. HB 1177 now heads to the desk of Governor Jared Polis for his consideration. Please contact Governor Polis and strongly urge him to VETO House Bill 1177.
House Bill 19- 1177: This extreme risk protection order or “red flag” bill is sponsored by Majority Leader Alec Garnett (D-Denver) and Representative Tom Sullivan (D-Centennial), as well as Senators Lois Court (D-Denver) and Brittany Pettersen (D-Jefferson). It would authorize the seizure of firearms from individuals without due process. The petition can be originated by a broad class of individuals, to include roommates and anyone you’ve had an “intimate relationship” with. Unchallenged statements made by a petitioner before a judge, alleging that someone is a danger to themselves or others in an ex parte proceeding — prior to any formal court hearing at which the respondent can be represented by counsel and present counter evidence — would be sufficient for law enforcement to enter that person’s home and confiscate their private property.
Again, please contact Governor Polis and strongly urge him to VETO House Bill 1177.

Then the owo will walk in and make this a third world country. but those that kill the white people unless they convert will also push all gays off roofs before the whites! That means our new gov will need to run for his life!
I see states, cities claiming gun owners are a danger to all non gun owners and red flag everyone! What better way to begin confiscation! Glad I’m in the State of Dakota!
At some point I believe the liberal portion of our population will wake up and realize that they are giving up their freedoms also! I am hoping that they will then join us in a combined effort to stop the governments infringement of our Rights! Maybe I am dreaming, but surely they see this happening to us all!
Colorado has gone to the left with so many people moving here from California and bringing their Communist politics with them. The “Red Flag” Laws(?) are nothing more than legalized SWATTING and deprive the victim of his/her Constitutional Rights such as the First, Second, Fourth, Fifth Amendments of the US Constitution as well as parts of the Colorado State Constitution. A person can have a disagreement over just about anything and call the police about a gun. The police show up at the victim’s house and demand his/her guns. If the subject survives the encounter, he/she has to prove to… Read more »
Lets see this bill pass! According to news reports, several law enforcement officials have testified for this bill
LEO and their sheriffs who don’t want to enforce this measure should seek other employment. You are with us, or you are against us. The governor himself commented that he himself believes sheriffs are committed to enforcing laws approved at the Capitol. Already, we have had 13 state pass a similar bill.
WE ARE SCREWED IN COLORADO. Radical left wing ultra liberal openly gay many time millionaire anti-Second Amendment Democrat governor, Anti Second Amendment marijuana smoking and coke sniffing California Democrat refugee and yo-yo local left wing populated senate and state house majority–what do we expect?
