We are no longer hungry.

Gov. Jared Polis signed a bill Thursday afternoon that means Colorado will have one of the most restrictive gun laws in the country. The action was made despite heavy pressure from gun rights advocates to veto it.

The new law makes it illegal to buy, sell and manufacture certain types of semi-automatic firearms without passing two background checks, obtaining a permit from a local sheriff's department and completing a firearms training course certified by Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

It also outlaws rapid-fire conversion devices, like bump stocks, which make semiautomatic guns to operate like an automatic weapon.

Restrictions apply to new purchases only starting in August 2026.

And I have news for you: This will be the trend in other states in the upcoming years.

Withe the Heller, McDonald and Bruen decisions, we gun owners simply called it a win and stopped fighting thinking somehow that the opposition would accept the results and give up.

They tripled down and are coming back while we are napping on what we believe is a satisfying legal meal. We stopped engaging and subcontracted the fight to third parties that may or may not be in it just for the money and/or status and privileges.

“But we can reverse this bad law in court!” Yeah, possibly, but it will take lots of time, money and engagement battling against a side that has dedicated time, lots of money and thus hired people to engage full time while we our biggest effort is to auto-fill an electronic postcard that emails your representative and gets promptly ignored by the staff.

I am sure that if you are paying attention to the gun bills introduced in your respective legislatures, you will have noticed that there are more anti-gun bills are being posted than pro-gun. And like in the case of Colorado, it is only a matter of time one really bad one gets approved and finds its way to the governor’s desk to be signed into law. The Opposition never stopped fighting in multiple fronts! Our side decided to take a long vacation and hope for the best which is a hallmark of ignorance and entitlement. And why legislators even bother to consider Pro Gun bills when the alleged Pro-Gun voters do not even bother to show up or demonstrate they care?

As of now in the TN Legislature, all effort has been wasted on preventing the passing a flurry of Gun Control bills and I believe no Pro Gun legislature has advanced. The promising bill to defend property was shut down harsh and so it was the one that would have begun to eliminate Gun Free Zones. In other words, we have achieved a big baft zero….again.

And I have even worse news: The old generations of Second Amendment fighters are dying or retiring. They are tired and deserve a rest and let’s face it, why they should care when the new generations seem not to give a damn?

I know I am tired.

You have been warned. Act or suffer the consequences.
