Friends -

Your help is needed. We need to defend our 2nd Amendment Rights.


The Colorado legislative session starts today, and Democratic-Socialist Rep. Elisabeth Epps has already launched a full-out assault on the 2nd Amendment. 

Once convicted and sentenced to jail time for interfering with police, Epps is now interfering with our constitutional rights. Her new bill, “Prohibition of Assault Weapons in Colorado,” shows her plan: she wants to ban anyone in Colorado from “possessing, purchasing, selling, or transferring ownership” of specific, everyday guns -- and more.

Let’s boldly call this what it is: unconstitutional, dangerous, and anti-woman

  • Epps is specifically trying to ban semi-automatic pistols – a very common type of gun that many women, specifically, use for self-defense. The 10 most popular guns purchased by women in 2020 were ALL semi-automatic pistols. This bill is anti-woman. Like Rep. Joe Salazar, maybe Rep. Epps believes women should only have dog whistles to defend themselves.

  • If you own property and have a personal shooting range that isn't licensed by the government, Epps would ban you from letting a friend shoot any of your weapons if they're listed in her bill.

  • Picking up a gun at your friend’s house and holding it ("possession") could make you both criminals if her bill passes. 

  • If you already own one of these guns, it doesn't mean your rights are protected. If a friend or family member has borrowed it, you may have to turn your gun over to a police officer if he asks. Epps' bill says the only way you can keep a gun you already legally own is if you have “maintained continuous possession” of it. 

We must stand up and fight against this unconstitutional legislation.

Epps' bill says that guns women use for self-defense are too dangerous for them to handle, writing: “in civilian hands [they] endanger Colorado’s…communities at large.” It’s no longer violent criminals who put us all in danger. It’s no longer Epps herself – who’s actually served jail time for committing a crime. It’s YOU. Man or woman, former law enforcement or military, if you're seeking to defend yourself or your family, the Democrats call you a danger.

Socialist Epps also is trying to write into Colorado law that 44% of mass shootings have involved a handgun. The writing is in the bill: that's what the liberals are coming for next.

Below, you'll find a CALL TO ACTION. Please jump in!

Thank you for joining me in fighting for our 2nd Amendment rights in Colorado!

Chairwoman | Colorado GOP

CALL TO ACTION:

I need you to contact these Democrat legislators and tell them that 
Elisabeth Epps' gun ban is unconstitutional and dangerous. Remind them that all women in Colorado need the right to defend themselves with semi-automatic pistols -- women's self-defense weapon of choice.
