Lord, we lift up this new legislation and the state of Colorado before You. We do ask You to keep people safe from violent crime, but we pray that our second amendment rights would never be obstructed!

Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed a strict gun control bill into law, forcing prospective buyers of now-banned firearms to first obtain an “eligibility card” from their local sheriff. What do you think of this new law?

From Breitbart. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) signed the Democrats’ semiautomatic firearm ban into law last week and it means state residents wanting an AR-15 will have to first secure an “eligibility card” from their local sheriff. …

Have you taken your place on the wall?

 

Gov. Polis signed the legislation on April 10, 2025, and the ban will take effect in August 2026. After that time, anyone who wants an AR-15 or similar rifle–or one of the banned shotguns or pistols–will have to go to their local sheriff and work with him to be approved.

The Colorado Sun explained how the process will work: “…People will have the ability to purchase firearms banned under Senate Bill 3 if they get a ‘firearms safety course eligibility card.’ …

There is more, the Sun noted:

Once someone gets an eligibility card, they must complete up to a dozen hours of training over two days, depending on whether they have already completed a hunter education course, and pass a test. …

Oh how this article breaks my heart – and how much more so the One who commanded we love and pray for our enemies?!
Jesus weeps over all who profess His name, yet premeditate the shooting of an offender whose life should be preserved for hope of redemption. Nowhere in the New Testament are Believers encouraged to use weapons against others. Jesus told His disciples to keep two swords – yet only to fulfill Isaiah’s prophecy of Him keeping company with transgressors. To clarify this point, Jesus warned them that those who live by the sword will die by it. In modern homes with handguns, so many needless accidental and intentional killings happen – mostly suicides. These tragedies occur due to living in fear of unlikely intruders, most of whom are unarmed lost souls. Where are the defenders at IFA for the correct Biblical perspective on this crucial issue?

    Some comments here are as grievous as the article and its headline prayer. Any restriction on gun ownership is positive and potentially life-saving. The 2nd Amendment is often as misinterpreted as Luke 22. The former called for “a well-regulated militia”, while Jesus called for none!

training and education Yes. If the private sector had ensured regulation and training gov’t would have had no case for control

Sounds like ‘infrigement” to me. Lord, save us from wicked tyrrants like Jared Polis. Save his soul or remove him from power. Amen!

It sounds good in theory, but I believe it’s a veiled first step towards the eventual disarming of the population, which has never ended well everywhere it’s been done.
