Colorado Governor Jared Polis (D) signed SB 25-003, a bill that creates a "permit-to-purchase" scheme for banned semi-automatic firearm platforms, into law. Following the enactment of the law, John Commerford, executive director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA), released the following statement:

"Behind closed doors, Governor Polis cowardly signed into law the most anti-gun, anti-freedom bill in Colorado's history. Instead of respecting the individual liberties of gun owners and hunters in his state, he bent the knee to the radical gun control element of his party. In Jared’s Colorado, you need a 'Polis Permission Slip' to exercise your constitutional rights. If this proposal was popular with his citizens, it would not need to be enacted in secret.”
