Colorado State Government Set to Ban Most Popular Standard Shotgun

Popular Standard Shotgun Could Be Banned Under Proposed Bill

Mike PaczesnyMarch 2, 20132 Comments

DENVER (CBS4) – A popular hunting shotgun could be banned under one of the bills moving through the state Capitol.

A pump or semi-automatic shotgun is the gun most hunters in Colorado use. It’s a gun state Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray, says could be banned under a bill that’s already passed the House and Gov. John Hickenlooper says he’ll sign.

“They’re coming after the standard shotgun,” Brophy told CBS4 Political Specialist Shaun Boyd.

Brophy says if Democrats succeed in passing a bill limiting large capacity magazines in Colorado, they’ll outlaw the most popular selling firearm for hunting.

“Hundreds of thousands of pheasant hunters are probably going to be carrying around a gun they won’t be able to replace after July 1 this year,” he said.

Brophy points to a section of the bill that defines a high-capacity magazine as one capable of accepting or — that can be readily converted — to accept more than 15 rounds or eight shotgun shells.

“This is where shotgun shells go inside this tube here,” Brophy showed Boyd, “You can screw this part off the top and screw on an extender to this tube to allow it to hold more than eight rounds. It is readily convertible, which by definition in the bill, makes the whole thing a high-capacity magazine.”

Under the 1994 federal ban manufacturers redesigned the gun so the barrel couldn’t be extended. Brophy says it’s unlikely they’d do the same just for Colorado.

“I don’t know if anybody is going to make guns specifically for the five million people living in Colorado,” he said. “We just might not be able to legally purchase a pump shotgun or a semi-automatic shotgun.”

Or sell, transfer or even lend one.

“The law is specific as of July 1. You can keep it, but only if you maintain continuous possession of it,” Brophy said. “If it breaks, you can’t give to a gunsmith even to fix it. You can’t hand it to your son to use. It’s all now outlawed because of this 1224, the bill that Gov. Hickenlooper says he’s going to sign … this is most extreme thing anybody’s ever done related to firearms.”

Boyd asked Senate Democrats about Brophy’s concerns. They sent her a statement saying an amendment dealing with thats issue is currently being drafted and will be presented in a committee hearing Monday. What that amendment looks like and whether it passes remains to be seen.

Seven gun bills are up for hearings in the Senate on Monday.

Many states have always had HUNTING restrictions on mag capacity Yes even in shot guns. However this is easily remedied ( for hunting) by installing a plug( dowel)let's see if the idiots do any better than NYC where they had police carrying illegal rounds.
PS. this doesn't mean i think man can take away god given rights!

This has nothing to do with hunting...

Most slide/pump action shotguns in the US are owned for one reason - self defence.

Look into legal vs lawful - 2A trumps all this BS.

The powers that be are terrified of slide/pump action shotguns.

Despite the current shortage of ammo, shotgun shells will still be on the shelf, unless there is a total ban.

A slide/pump action shotgun can be used by anyone - male/female, young/old, it can take a variety of shot, slug or specialist ammo (unlike a semi), operates consistently and lays down a high volume of fire in a confined area.

When the black suited thugs kick doors in, it wil be slide/pump action and semi shotguns that account for most of the jackbooted casualties, not handguns or rifles.

(unless you own a drum-fed semi like a Saiga 12 - in which case,  :)

Why CO?

Because Denver will become the new capital if DC is taken out in a false flag event.
