Colorado's New AR-15 Ban Also Targets Semi-Auto Pistols & Shotguns

About this video

Colion interviews Ava Flanell, a Colorado-based firearms instructor, about a series of gun control bills advancing through Colorado’s legislature. Ava explains how Colion views Colorado as a ‘canary in the coal mine’ for nationwide gun control efforts. They discuss Colion’s concerns about proposed laws including an assault weapons ban that he reports would affect most semi-automatic firearms, mandatory liability insurance requirements, vehicle storage mandates, and an 11% excise tax on firearms and ammunition.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues that Colorado’s proposed assault weapons ban uses deceptive language about ‘mass shooting weapons’ to justify banning approximately 80% of semi-automatic pistols, rifles, and shotguns based on features like threaded barrels and adjustable stocks
• According to Colion, mandatory liability insurance and increased permit costs would disproportionately burden lower-income gun owners and create barriers to exercising Second Amendment rights
• Colion emphasizes that gun owners must actively engage in the political process—testifying at hearings, contacting representatives, and voting in local elections—rather than assuming advocacy organizations or others will fight on their behalf
