**Outrage Unleashed: Colorado's New Gun Control Law Provokes Backlash from Veterans and Citizens Alike**
In a startling move that threatens the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens, Colorado has enacted new legislation requiring government-approved firearms safety training for the purchase of semi-automatic rifles.
As this legislation, SB25 003, prepares to take effect in August 2026, backlash has erupted from individuals who understand the gravity of such regulations, notably John "Tig" Tiegen, a Benghazi veteran and a candidate for mayor of Colorado Springs.
Tiegen, who bravely fought for his country, took to social media to voice his vehement opposition to the law, arguing that it imposes an unwanted government gate between citizens and their constitutional rights.
He stated, “The Second Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms. Not the right to keep and bear arms after completing state-mandated training.”
This perspective speaks volumes about the American view of personal freedom and individual rights.
Tiegen argues that the government's requirement for approval to exercise a constitutional right effectively turns that right into a privilege.
“Requiring training before possession is prior restraint,” he emphasizes, pointing out that such regulations hinder responsible citizens rather than stopping criminals who ignore the laws in the first place.
The implications of SB25 003 extend beyond mere inconvenience; it represents a paradigm shift in how rights are viewed in Colorado.
By mandating state control over the purchase of commonly owned firearms, this law not only complicates the process but also risks entrenching a culture of compliance that compromises personal liberties.
What Tiegen proposes is a different approach—one that empowers citizens rather than penalizing them for their lawful choices.
As mayor, he vows to limit city involvement in enforcing state gun control laws and to protect residents from burdens that infringe on their rights.
This stance echoes sentiments among many who see the radical left’s persistent attempts at enacting gun control as an affront to the freedoms that define American society.
In his call to action, Tiegen asks leaders to speak out against such measures, asserting that leadership is about standing up for the rights of the people, even in uncomfortable times.
With the Bruen decision still fresh in the minds of many gun rights advocates, there is hope that the legal landscape might soon challenge Colorado’s new restrictions.
Citizens across the state, and indeed the nation, will be watching closely as the future of gun rights hangs in the balance against a backdrop of increasing governmental control.
The question remains: Will Colorado succumb to the tides of overreach, or can vocal opposition and strong leadership pave the way for a return to true liberty?
