>HB 1242, the bill that would impose the unconstitutional Brady
>Registration checks on private sales at gun shows, which would
>probably END GUN SHOWS in Colorado and represents an obvious first
>step in REGISTRATION OF ALL PRIVATE SALES, is facing heavy
>opposition. There is a very good chance that your efforts might
>stop it completely.

>Please, right away, contact the State Legislators on the House
>Appropriations Committee listed below. Their votes could mean life
>or death to this blatant registration scheme. Tell them to vote

>Contact her immediately — she needs to know that Colorado’s gun

>Although all of the legislators listed above are Republicans, not
>all the Republicans are undecided: Committee Chairman Steve Tool of
>Fort Collins is openly supporting this gun control bill.

>Governor “Gun Control” Owens is lobbying hard for this bill, and has

>This is why your calls, right now, are so very important. If these

>Tell the legislators that forcing private sales at gun shows to go

>and simple. What is next? Banning your dad from passing a treasured
