A Call to Action in Colorado

As most you know, there are a number of gun control-related bills making their way through the Colorado Legislature. Among them is Senate Bill 196 which holds all manufacturers, distributors and owners of ANY rifle –excluding bolt-action— they produce, sell or use, liable if that gun is misused to harm another person. If passed, this would prevent the presence of these rifles at RMEF big game banquets and, therefore, could drastically reduce RMEF’s ability to raise funds at banquets to do conservation work in Colorado. 

RMEF urges its individual members, volunteers, and all others concerned with such legislation to contact your state Senator and/or state Representative via email or by telephone (303 866-2316).
