Starting Jan 1st, 2026, you still have to do all the NFA paperwork, fingerprints, and notifications. You just don’t pay the tax.

The Parliamentarian said no to getting rid of the paperwork and fingerprinting. Which I think is BS, because the only reason any of that exists is to track who pays the tax. At least on paper.

So all the paperwork and registry is confirm that you paid the tas. The lawsuit basically says there’s no point in any of that since the tax is gone.

Maybe in a decade we can get rid of the Hughes amendment

FPC, GOA, NRA (Fuck the NRA) and a few other organizations are already filing a lawsuit to get rid of the NFA. No tax means there no longer needs to be a registry of who paid the tax.

I think it’s mainly LA that is seeing a large invasion of federal forces

Cool. You’ll get more money if you remove the Denuvo bullshit

It looks like a genuinely fun game, scantily clad character aside. But until it’s Denuvo free I ain’t paying.

In 15 years we’ll be able to use hardware keys lol

I’m genuinely surprised Democrats were upset about the lack of a grandfather clause. I would have expected them to be happy about that, especially since that “spirit of Aloha” nonsense the state supreme court pulled.

The bill is obviously unconstitutional and has no chance of passing in a Republican Congress. So of course it’s a good idea

This raises the bar for lawful gun ownership. It doesn’t even prevent bad people from getting a gun. It doesn’t stop violence from occurring. The law makes 0 attempts to prevent stealing a gun(which is a misdemeanor in CO unless it’s worth over $1000), or to prevent crime. It just creates a financial barrier for those who want to legally own a gun. If you’re a minority or LGBTQ, lawful gun ownership isn’t just a hobby. For some of us it’s literally survival. Especially with people disappearing from our streets. Maybe you don’t look like an illegal immigrant. Maybe you look like someone whom the cops will always aid. If that’s the case, good for you. But a lot of Americans don’t have those kind of privileges. It wasn’t that long ago that black men had shoot to members of the Klan.

I just don’t see how making lawful gun ownership more expensive prevents bad people from doing bad things with guns.

And for those of us who’s county sheriff won’t? The state already said they don’t know what the required training will be. This particular law has so many issues. The new permitting system (that you have go through before you’re allowed to take the class) has to be ran and funded by Colorado Parks and Wildlife, who is already severely underfunded already. The law says they don’t get any extra funding, and that the permits will pay for the system. But a Colorado Open Records Act revealed that they already predicted there will not be enough permits to take a class to fund the system. This law in particular is not about preventing gun violence and other crimes.

In CO, we already have to pay a sin tax on parts, ammo, and guns, on top of the sales tax and federal excise tax. All that tax money The sin tax money goes to a fund that can be used to fund mental health services for veterans, but most of it has to fund school security. Aka, cops.

I don’t believe at all this law is about preventing violence, when all it does is add a big financial barrier to lawful firearm ownership. If you steal a gun in Colorado, unless it’s a real fancy one, it’s just a misdemeanor.

To get this training in CO, you have to apply for a permit first. And your county sheriff can deny you for any reason. So yeah, they can make sure only white people get modern guns. The training wouldn’t be so bad if it was completely free, made available all over the state so rural people could do it, available everyday so poorer people don’t have to take a day off of work, and if you pass you pass. None of this denying for any reason. Oh, and it needs to be offered in multiple languages. If there’s a live fire portion, it can’t be more difficult than what cops have to do.

But we all know that won’t happen. This is just a way to make sure only the right looking people can get a gun.

Legally speaking, most American men are in the militia. The only women in the militia are in the National Guard. If the 2A was the only time in the Bill of Rights that, “the People,” referred to a government sanctioned body, then most women cannot legally own a firearm.

I’ll do that on my Linux machine if I have to do a lot of admin stuff. Otherwise I just stick to sudo.

I believe that particular tax has been ruled constitutional in federal court. That money can only be spent on conservation. The government can’t even take money out of it to fund other things, conservation only. Every wildlife/conservation agency gets funded by it. Because of that, a lot of people give it a pass right or wrong

Fuck me. I knew this was going to happen but still. Guess I’m not upgrading my 2060 Super for a while

I just wanna say, I love these posts!

What’s a LoRA radio?
