I’m sure that if you could travel back 20 years in time to meet with a group of Coloradans to tell them they would have to mount a recall effort to deal with a state legislature bent on passing draconian gun control laws, they wouldn’t believe you. The political winds can change quickly. We want to fix it before it has a chance to become a problem.
Beyond that, just including the requirement for strict scrutiny in our state’s constitution will strengthen our position when dealing with obstinate state legislators as we continue to deal with some of our state’s more impractical gun laws and will make it easier to deal with these in the courts when the legislature refuses to act.
HJR1026 is a critical piece of legislation. Please call your state representative and state senator and ask them not only to support it, but to sign on as a co-author. The House switchboard number is (405) 521-2711 and the Senate switchboard number is (405) 524-0126.
Let your legislators know where you stand

HJR1026 needs some help. After nearly caving in to pressure from higher ed to make some changes...

UPDATE: HJR1026.
Senator Treat has agreed to leave the language as is in HJR1026. We appreciate him honoring the work put into this bill by so many people (including him). However, we do still need to call and email certain members of the Conference Committee to ask them to sign the bill out so it can go before both chambers for a final set of votes.

To email the conferees, copy and paste the block of email addresses below into the BCC field of your email. Ask them to sign HJR1026 out of the Conference Committee.

If you prefer to call, the list of conferees and their phone numbers are below. Again, please simply ask them to sign HJR1026 out of the Conference Committee.
Sen Schulz 405-521-5612
Sen Barrington 405-521-5563
Sen Burrage 405-521-5555
