🚨 Colorado: Where the constitution gets censored?

In a stunning move, Colorado lawmakers forced Rep. Ken DeGraaf — a 27-year Air Force veteran — to cover a pro-Second Amendment sticker during floor debate on SB 25-003, one of the strictest gun control bills in the U.S.

📛 The sticker? It read: "Shall Not Be Infringed."
Apparently, that was just too much for the anti-gun crowd.

🔒 The bill aims to ban the sale of popular semiautomatic rifles & shotguns unless buyers get vetted, certified and approved — even though background checks already exist. Critics say it tramples on the Second AND First Amendments.

👮‍♂️ Even some sheriffs aren’t backing it, warning that it targets law-abiding gun owners, not criminals.

🧠 Is this really about safety — or control?

🗣️ Sound off: Should lawmakers be allowed to silence pro-2A voices while pushing to rewrite gun rights?
