Colorado Republicans have asked the U.S. Department of Justice to review the state’s new gun control law, citing constitutional concerns. Gov. Jared Polis signed Senate Bill 25-003, which bans the sale of semi-automatic rifles without requiring a firearms safety course eligibility card.
Gun rights groups, including the Colorado State Shooting Association and Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, are opposing Senate Bill 25-003, asserting that it infringes on Second Amendment rights and poses a risk to self-defense rights.
In Maine, Republicans are attempting to repeal a 72-hour waiting period for firearm purchases, claiming that it does not prevent gun-related crimes.
