Last month, lawmakers convened in Denver for the start of the 2026 legislative session. One of the bills introduced was HB26-1021: “The Second Amendment Protection Act”, sponsored by Rep Brandi Bradley (R) and Rep Max Brooks (R).
Now this bill has exactly ZERO chance of passing, and people often ask why they even bother. Personally, we love seeing bills like this so we can keep the pro-2A discussion front and center. It also takes up time and resources down at the Capitol because as long as the gun grabbers are forced to spend time on legislation like this, they have less time to violate our rights. We wish there were MORE of these bills.
This bill repeals a broad range of Colorado firearms and weapons laws enacted in recent years.
- It removes bans on carrying firearms at polling places, ballot drop boxes, government buildings, licensed child care centers, K-12 schools, and public or private colleges and universities, and eliminates the presumption that visibly carrying a firearm constitutes election-related intimidation.
- The bill repeals firearm industry liability standards enacted under Senate Bill 23-168 and restores prior product liability law. It removes restrictions on firearm payment processing and eliminates special peace-officer designations within the Department of Revenue firearms dealer division.
- It removes the classification of rapid-fire devices as dangerous weapons, and eliminates laws governing unlawful concealed carry and possession of dangerous devices in certain legislative buildings.
- The bill repeals firearm storage requirements, safe-storage education mandates, restrictions on unserialized firearms, and background checks for private firearm transfers. It eliminates the minimum age of 21 to purchase a firearm and repeals the three-day waiting period.
- It repeals restrictions on semiautomatic firearms, including training and educational prerequisites and the associated firearms training record system created under Senate Bill 25-003. It also repeals ammunition sales regulations, magazine capacity limits, dealer licensing and gun show regulations, and local authority to restrict concealed carry or regulate firearm sales or possession.
- The bill removes the Colorado Bureau of Investigation’s authority to investigate certain firearm-related activity, repeals the voluntary waiver of the right to purchase a firearm, and abolishes the Office of Gun Violence Prevention.
- As part of these repeals, the firearms training and safety course cash fund and the voluntary waiver program are eliminated, and the state treasurer is directed to return fees and donated funds to those who paid into them.
- And more.
We hope you will consider providing public testimony in support of this bill, or at minimum contacting members of the House Judiciary Committee expressing your support. Not only is the discussion important to keep front and center, REMEMBER: Every minute they spend on this bill, is one minute they aren’t violating your rights on a different bill. Waste. Their. Time.
