Colorado wants new rules for selling gun barrels
Record Keeping & Regulation of Sale of Firearm Barrel
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would make new rules for selling gun barrels and create a crime for selling them wrong, to help keep people safe.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill wants to make it harder for bad people to get gun parts by making new rules for selling firearm barrels. If it passes, people who sell gun barrels would have to follow these new rules, and if they don't, they could get in trouble with the law. Supporters say this is a good way to make our communities safer. But some people might worry that these new rules could make it harder for regular, law-abiding citizens to buy or sell gun barrels.
