Colorado Governor Signs New Gun Restrictions Into Law, Including Bump Stock Ban

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D), signed a bill into law on April 10 requiring people to obtain a permit and undergo safety training before they buy certain guns.

The legislation also bans the purchase and sale of devices that enable guns to be fired rapidly, including bump stocks.

“For folks who haven’t had any gun safety training, it’s very important that they get that, and this bill will make sure that people will get that education on how to operate the weapons safely and—just as important—how to store them safely,” Polis said at a press conference on Thursday.

Senate Bill 25-003, the legislation, is set to take effect on Aug. 1, 2026.
