<p>Dear Member of the House State, Civic, Military, and Veterans Affairs Committee,</p> <p>I am writing regarding the three Second Amendment bills scheduled for hearing.</p> <p><strong>SB26-004 – Red Flag Expansion</strong><br /><br /> I urge you to vote NO on SB26-004. Expanding Colorado’s existing Red Flag law increases the risk of abuse and weakens due process protections. Broadening who can initiate firearm seizure proceedings raises serious constitutional concerns and invites misuse of a process that already allows firearms to be confiscated before a full evidentiary hearing.</p> <p><strong>HB26-1126 – Digital Gun Registry</strong><br /><br /> I urge you to vote NO on HB26-1126. Mandating expanded digital record-keeping and centralizing firearm transaction data lays the groundwork for a searchable registry of lawful gun owners. Colorado has long rejected the creation of a firearm registry, and this bill undermines that principle while raising privacy and civil liberties concerns.</p> <p><strong>HB26-1072 – Right to Firearm Possession & Elimination of Extreme Risk Protection Orders</strong><br /><br /> I urge you to vote YES on HB26-1072. This bill affirms the right to own, possess, and use a firearm to the maximum extent permitted under state and federal constitutions. It restores due process protections and repeals the existing Extreme Risk Protection Order law, strengthening statutory recognition of Second Amendment rights.</p> <p>Colorado citizens expect their constitutional rights to be protected, not eroded. I respectfully ask that you oppose SB26-004 and HB26-1126 and support HB26-1072.</p> <p>Thank you for your consideration.</p>
