A group of concerned citizens has formed a committee, "Citizens for a Safer Colorado" . . .
. . . with the intention of starting an initiative to strengthen our self-defense rights under Article II, Section 13 of the Colorado Constitution and the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The effort will lead to overturning the recent legislative infringements of those rights and prevent future legislative infringements. More details will be available on this web site as the effort progresses.
Proposed Constitutional Amendment for the State of Colorado
To Clarify, Protect, and Strengthen the Right of the People to
Keep and Bear Arms in Self Defense
Be it Enacted by the People of the State of Colorado:
In the constitution of the state of Colorado, article II, section 13, number the existing text as clause 1, and add clauses 2, 3 and 4 as follows:
(1)The right of no person to keep and bear arms in defense of his home, person and property, or in aid of the civil power when thereto legally summoned, shall be called in question; but nothing herein contained shall be construed to justify the practice of carrying concealed weapons.
(2) This right is fundamental and includes the right of individuals to buy, sell, transfer, own, loan, possess, transport, carry, and operate firearms as well as all standard, necessary, customary, or usual equipment and accessories including magazines and ammunition.
(3) Each law enacted after January 1, 2013 that restricts or limits this right to any extent is hereby repealed. The repeal of these laws shall not be construed to affirm laws enacted prior to January 1, 2013.
(4) From the date this amendment becomes effective, no law, except a law enacted by a vote of the people, shall restrict or limit this right to any extent.
