Below is the latest update on every anti-gun bill in the legislature, as well as information about our gun giveaway.

With your support, the Colorado State Shooting Association (the official state association of the NRA) will never stop fighting for the Second Amendment in Colorado. You can support us by becoming a member and/or donating at the bottom of this email.


HB24-1292: If signed into law, the “Assault Weapons Ban” would outlaw every semi-automatic centerfire gun that accepts a magazine. After passing the House on April 14th, this bill was introduced in the Senate and assigned to the State, Veterans, & Military Affairs Committee on April 18th. This bill’s next committee hearing has not been scheduled yet. You can follow this link to contact your Senator and demand they vote NO on the "Assault Weapons Ban."

SB24-131: In its original form, the “Sensitive Spaces” bill proposed to ban open and concealed carry virtually everywhere in the state except your home. It has since been amended to reduce the list of places where public carry would be banned. In its current form, this bill would ban public carry in government buildings and K-12 and college campuses. This bill passed its second reading in the House on Friday. If it passes a third reading, it will go to the Governor’s desk. You can follow this link to contact your Representative and demand they vote NO on the "Sensitive Spaces" bill.

HB24-1310: The SLOWER bill would have barred school districts from authorizing teachers and faculty trained by organizations like FASTER Colorado to concealed carry on campus to protect against violent threats to student safety. Thanks to your support, we are happy to say the SLOWER bill is DEAD.

HB24-1270: This measure would require all gun owners to maintain liability insurance, further increasing the unconstitutional financial burden of exercising our Second Amendment rights. This bill passed its second reading in the House on Friday. If it passes a third reading, it will go to the Senate. You can follow this link to contact your Representative and demand they vote NO on this bill.

HB24-1353: This bill would require gun merchants to obtain a state permit in addition to their federal firearms licenses. The permit will cost $400 and the state will be permitted to increase the fee annually. This will add to the financial burden of doing business in an industry that is already struggling due to a plethora of existing restrictions. After passing the House on April 20th, this bill was introduced in the Senate and assigned to the Finance Committee on April 22nd. Its next committee hearing has not been scheduled yet.

HB24-1174: This bill would increase the requirements to obtain a concealed carry permit. This bill passed the House on March 11th and the Senate on April 22nd. It will now go to Polis’ desk for signature. Call Governor Polis' office at (303) 866-2885 or email him at Governorpolis@state.co.us and politely urge him to veto this bill.

HB24-1349: This is an excise tax on firearms and ammunition. Excise taxes, such as those commonly levied on cigarettes and marijuana, are what we refer to as sin taxes. But gun ownership is a right, not a wrong. After passing the House on April 20th, this bill was introduced in the Senate and assigned to the Finance Committee on April 22nd. Its next committee hearing has not been scheduled yet.

SB24-003: This bill would allocate millions of dollars to the CBI to create a “gun police” task force to enforce unconstitutional gun control policies like the mandatory 3-day waiting period. This bill passed its second reading in the House on Friday. If it passes a third reading, it will go to the Governor’s desk. You can follow this link to contact your Representative and demand they vote NO on this bill.

SB24-066: This bill would require credit card and debit card transactions between consumers and licensed firearms dealers to be marked with a distinct code, allowing the government to track who is making legal firearm purchases. This bill passed both chambers of the Legislature and is headed to Polis' desk. Call Governor Polis' office at (303) 866-2885 or email him at Governorpolis@state.co.us and politely urge him to veto this bill.

HB24-1348: This bill would require any firearm left in a vehicle to be stored in a locked, hard-sided case out of plain view or in a locked trunk. Promoting this measure after killing a bill that would’ve increased the penalty for theft of firearms proves that anti-gun politicians intend to treat victims as criminals and criminals as victims. The House and Senate passed different versions of this bill and are working on coming to an agreement on its amendments. Once that happens, this bill will head to Polis’ desk. Call Governor Polis' office at (303) 866-2885 or email him at Governorpolis@state.co.us and politely urge him to veto this bill.


In defiance of the gun-grabbers’ pending attempt at an “assault weapon” ban, the Colorado State Shooting Association (the official state association of the NRA) will be giving away a free “assault weapon” (a made-up term used by anti-gunners to demonize common firearms) to a person who is either (1) a member of CSSA or (2) a non-member who has donated to CSSA in 2024.

The recipient of this “super scary, fully-semi-automatic gun” will be randomly selected from our database of active members and 2024 donors.



This Smith & Wesson M&P 15 Sport III Series (5.56 caliber) was donated to us by Magnum Shooting Center, located in Colorado Springs, to give away to one of our supporters. Magnum Shooting Center is a long-time ally of CSSA and a staunch defender of the Second Amendment. We are immensely grateful for their support of our organization, including this generous donation.

For a chance at being the selected recipient of this beautiful “assault weapon,” you must be in our database as an active member and/or donor to the Colorado State Shooting Association by April 30th at 11:59 PM Mountain Time.


The Colorado State Shooting Association will never back down in the fight to defeat the anti-gun agenda in Colorado.

We need your support. We have an all-volunteer board of directors and every penny we raise goes to the fight.

If you support the Second Amendment, become a member of CSSA for $5 per month, $50 per year, or $140 for three years. You can also donate to our legislative action, legal, or general funds.

Must be eligible to own this firearm in order to be selected for the giveaway. Transfer will go through a Federal Firearms Licensed dealer, selected and provided by the recipient. Recipient agrees CSSA will retain ownership of prize in the event of failure to pass BGC, and the price will be considered a returned donation.
