Colorado gun stores say they may be forced to shutter should Democrats in the legislature this year pass a ban on the manufacture, sale and purchase of semiautomatic firearms with detachable ammunition magazines.
Senate Bill 3 would make a large portion of the merchandise at Colorado gun stores illegal to sell overnight, hitting their bottom lines but also presenting safety and liability issues.
If you read the article you would know that the law only applies to rifles and shotguns. I would expect that it calls out specific “handguns” like short barreled ar-15s
Short barreled ar-15s are already an NFA item.
You can but it as a pistol of it doesn’t have a stock on it.
