House Bill 25-1062 is a common-sense, tough-on-crime measure that makes firearm theft a serious felony offense, regardless of the gun’s value.
This bill:
- Classifies the theft of a firearm as a Class 6 felony, ensuring criminals face real consequences for stealing guns.
- Imposes a Class 5 felony charge for repeat offenses, deterring career criminals from reoffending.
- Prevents firearm theft from being lumped into general property crime statutes, which often result in weak penalties.
- Holds criminals accountable for every gun stolen in a single crime spree, treating each stolen firearm as a separate offense.
Right now, firearm theft is treated like stealing a bicycle or a laptop. That’s unacceptable. HB 25-1062 ensures criminals face real penalties for gun theft and helps keep firearms out of the wrong hands.
My Thoughts on the Bill
Crime in Colorado is out of control, and it’s time to get serious about holding criminals accountable.
The left loves to talk about “gun control,” but the real problem isn’t law-abiding gun owners—it’s criminals stealing firearms with little to no consequences. HB 25-1062 is Colorado common sense: punish criminals, deter crime, and protect law-abiding citizens.
Why HB 25-1062 is Critical for Colorado
✅ Ends the slap-on-the-wrist penalties – Stealing a firearm should NEVER be treated like petty theft.
✅ Holds criminals accountable – Each stolen gun = a separate felony charge. No more easy plea deals.
✅ Targets actual criminals, not law-abiding gun owners – This bill goes after thieves, not responsible citizens.
✅ Helps keep guns out of the wrong hands – Stopping firearm theft is real gun safety.
Enough is Enough: Get Tough on Crime!
Colorado’s soft-on-crime policies have failed. HB 25-1062 is a real solution that cracks down on criminals instead of punishing responsible gun owners.
