When criminals obey gun laws, we call that magic. ✨

To our friends and valued customers, our store lease is up. Unfortunately with the new state gun laws that go in affect on August 1st, and all the unknowns and uncertainties surrounding these anti 2nd Amendment bills, we have decided to close our store. The risk is too great.
We plan to continue being at the upcoming guns shows thru the end of the year at which time we'll reaccess the viability of the industry in our state and the probability of even more negative legislation being passed this session that would make it even more difficult to do business in Colorado.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us in so many ways. Hope to see you at the shows, and visit our website if there's anything you need.

I have yet to get a bill passed this legislative session and I'm okay with that. Colleagues from both sides of the aisle have asked me to co-prime bills, but my rule is this: unless it helps Colorado significantly, I don't want to introduce more laws. Colorado is regulated enough! I'd rather spend my time playing defense or attempt to water down bad bills that I know will ultimately pass.

Colorado, California, Washington, and New York are all pushing proposals that would choke off innovation by targeting 3D printers, CNC machines, and the digital files that power them...each under the banner of “gun safety.”

Here’s why Colorado HB26-1144 violates the Second Amendment, First Amendment, and even the Fifth Amendment: https://wethesecondcolorado.com/colorado-introduces-sweeping-gun-bill-targeting-3d-printing-cnc-machining-and-digital-files/

HB26-1144 has a public hearing TODAY, Thursday, March 18 in front of the Senate State, Veterans, & Military Affairs committee. The hearing will begin as soon as the Senate finishes their morning work, possibly as early at 11am. You can provide testimony in-person at the Colorado State Capitol in Denver or online via Zoom.
