CO SB140

State employees, agents, and peace officers are prohibited from enforcing any federal statute, rule, or regulation relating to firearms, ammunition, ammunition magazines, or firearm accessories that are manufactured and remain exclusively within Colorado.

Federal statutes, rules, or regulations effective on or after January 1, 2013, are declared unenforceable in Colorado if they ban or restrict semi-automatic firearms or ammunition magazines, require firearm registration, restrict Colorado residents from purchasing firearms in other states, or restrict out-of-state residents from purchasing firearms in Colorado.

The Colorado Attorney General may defend Colorado residents prosecuted by the federal government for federal firearm violations involving firearms or ammunition manufactured or purchased in Colorado and kept exclusively within Colorado.

A federal employee or agent who enforces or attempts to enforce federal firearm laws relating to firearms manufactured and kept exclusively within Colorado commits a Class 1 misdemeanor.

The bill includes a safety clause declaring the act necessary for immediate preservation of public peace, health, and safety.
