Colorado rethinking semiautomatic rifle ban as Trump seizes power

Colorado is considering the ban of some semiautomatic firearms but now that American democracy is facing a constitutional crisis Governor Jared Polis says he's skeptical about restricting those weapons after Donald Trump began his Fujimori-style autogolpe and civil war is looming.
One Democratic cosponsor, Sen. Marc Snyder of Manitou Springs, now says he won’t vote for the measure, citing doubts over its reach and concerns from his constituents. The governor said in deciding whether to sign or veto the bill he wants “to make sure it doesn’t interfere with legal, law-abiding gun owners in our state for hunting, for home defense or sport.” [Colorado Senate debate on bill banning manufacture, sale of semiautomatic guns delayed amid negotiations with Jared Polis]
Trump's "Coup Klux Klan" has been assaulting Colorado neighborhoods threatening local control, angering American citizens who know it's only a civil violation to be in the country without authorization and as of Friday no one has been charged but communities are bracing for violent blowback.
“If they don’t trust law enforcement, they probably won’t go to them and tell them, hey there is a dangerous thing happening in my neighborhood,” said Laura Lunn, an immigration attorney at the Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network, who works out of the GEO detention center, which houses immigrants. “When you blur the lines between these different agencies, you are causing distrust within the community of both agencies.” [Immigration raids in Colorado, both highly visible and cloaked in secrecy, rattle advocates and local authorities]
Trump is escalating militant tactics that mirror Ruby Ridge and Waco but his actions are deeply reminiscent of the 1992 autocoup perpetrated by Alberto Fujimori who dismissed the legislative and judicial branches of the Peruvian government and claimed their powers for himself. Like Fujimori Trump is a career criminal and convicted felon whose offspring are reactionary toadies.

Jared Polis is a patriot who supports the Second Amendment, the US Department of Education and the expansion of passenger rail.
