Colorado Legislature The Bully Pulpit

House Bill 25-1133: Requirements for Sale of Firearms Ammunition

Written by Scott James

House Bill 25-1133 is a blatant attack on gun owners, restricting ammunition sales, banning adults under 21 from buying ammo, and forcing burdensome regulations on retailers. This won’t stop criminals—it only punishes law-abiding citizens. Tell your legislators to VOTE NO on HB 25-1133 and defend the Second Amendment!

House Bill 25-1133 is yet another thinly veiled gun control measure disguised as “safety reform.” This bill:

  • Bans anyone under 21 from purchasing ammunition, stripping legal adult gun owners of their right to buy ammo.
  • Requires all ammunition to be locked up behind counters, treating responsible gun owners like criminals.
  • Mandates extra paperwork, ID checks, and delivery restrictions, making it harder for Coloradans to buy ammunition online or in stores.
  • Imposes criminal penalties on retailers for even minor infractions, further discouraging businesses from selling ammunition.

This bill has nothing to do with “safety” and everything to do with attacking the Second Amendment through bureaucratic red tape.

My Thoughts on the Bill

Colorado’s anti-gun politicians never stop looking for ways to chip away at your rights. HB 25-1133 is a backdoor attack on gun ownership, making it more expensive, time-consuming, and legally risky to buy ammunition.

Why HB 25-1133 Must Be Stopped

Strips 18- to 20-year-olds of their rights – If an 18-year-old can vote, serve in the military, and pay taxes, they should be able to buy ammo.

Criminalizes retailersMom-and-pop gun stores will be buried under excessive regulations and penalties, forcing many out of business.

Creates ammo shortages – Government restrictions will make it harder for law-abiding citizens to get ammunition, leading to price spikes and supply shortages.

Does nothing to stop crime – Criminals don’t buy their ammo legally. This law only punishes responsible gun owners.

Stop the Backdoor Gun Control!

The anti-gun left couldn’t ban your firearms, so now they’re coming for your ammunition. HB 25-1133 is a direct attack on your right to defend yourself, hunt, and practice shooting.

📢 Tell your legislators to VOTE NO on HB 25-1133! Colorado gun owners won’t tolerate these unconstitutional attacks!
