The Colorado legislature is passing bills designed to keep people from making their own firearms without government permission. Two bills appear likely to become law. The two bills are expected to be signed by Governor Jared Polis. House Bill 1144 has passed the House 40 - 25 on a partyline vote on March 2, 2026. Senate Bill 43 passed the Senate 18 -16, with four Democratic senators joining twelve Republican senators to vote against the bill. The Senate voted on the bill the same day as the House voted on House Bill 1144, March 2.
House Bill 1144 prohibits the manufacture of firearms by "3D printing", except for people licensed by the government:
Knowingly manufacturing or producing a firearm, unfinished frame or receiver, large-capacity magazine, or rapid-fire device (firearm or firearm component) by 3-dimensional printing. The prohibition does not apply to a federally licensed firearm manufacturer , an instructor or student of an accredited gunsmithing program, or an institution that operates an accredited gunsmithing program. Unlawful three-dimensional printing of a firearm or firearm component is a class 1 misdemeanor; except that a second or subsequent offense is a class 5 felony.
House Bill 1144 defines 3D printing broadly, to mean both additive and subtractive manufacturing. The bill also makes it illegal for most people to offer or sell digital instructions in a rather broad and vague way:
"Knowingly offering to sell or distributing digital instructions that may be used for an activity that constitutes a violation of specified existing state law concerning unlawful conduct involving an unserialized firearm, frame, or receiver."
Senate Bill 43 requires firearm barrels to be sold or transferred by a federally licensed dealer in person. From legiscan.com, a summary of the bill:
The bill requires a firearm barrel to be sold or transferred in person by a federally licensed firearm dealer. A person who is not a federally licensed firearm dealer shall not possess a firearm barrel with the intent to sell or transfer, or with the intent to offer to sell or transfer, the firearm barrel. Unlawful sale of a firearm barrel and unlawful possession with intent to sell a firearm barrel are each an unclassified misdemeanor.
A person must be 18 years old or older and legally allowed to purchase a firearm under state and federal law to purchase a firearm barrel, subject to certain exceptions.
The bill requires a federally licensed firearm dealer to record a sale or transfer of a firearm barrel for at least 5 years.
The bill requires the Colorado bureau of investigation to create a form for federally licensed firearm dealers to record a sale or transfer of a firearm barrel.
Analysis:
Both bills are likely to be challenged as unconstitutionally infringing on rights protected by the Second Amendment. In the Bruen decision, the Supreme Court ruled infringements on the Second Amendment are only allowed if they were understood to be acceptable as part of the right to keep and bear arms in 1791, when the Bill of Rights was ratified. The Senate bill on barrel sales only applies inside the State of Colorado, so Colorado residents could purchase barrels in other states, if the sale was done outside the state of Colorado. It is unclear of Colorado could prevent the mailing of a firearm barrel to someone in Colorado from outside the state.
Colorado is likely to argue these measures are only regulations on the commercial sale of firearms, and the Supreme Court in Heller noted some regulations on commercial sales are allowed.
Challengers to the bill will likely argue the bills directly infringe on the right to acquire firearms by making your own, an activity which has been practiced since before the Constitution was written. The challengers will likely argue the right includes the right to purchase firearms parts, such as barrels.
There may be a challenge to the law claiming the state does not have the authority to regulate federally licensed dealers.

A 59-year-old man allegedly broke into a garage in the area and was confronted by the homeowner, police said.
The homeowner had a valid concealed carry license and fired a gun at the burglar. The offender was shot in the right calf and taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was listed in good condition.
Some of the frivolous September purchases made under Secretary Pete Hegseth’s stewardship include a $98,329 Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, $5.3 million for Apple devices such as the new iPad, and an astronomical amount of shellfish, including $2 million for Alaskan king crab and $6.9 million worth of lobster tail. (Lobster tail is apparently a favorite of Hegseth’s Pentagon—the department spent more than $7.4 million total on the luxury item in March, May, June, and October.)They make this sound like it's for lavish orgies at the homes of generals or whatever, but look...
In other pricey food purchases, the government decided to drop $15.1 million for ribeye steak (again, just in September), $124,000 for ice cream machines, and $139,224 on 272 orders of doughnuts.
While still on the line with the resident, dispatchers heard a gunshot in the background. Dispatch then spoke with the neighbor, who reported he had detained two individuals at gunpoint outside the residence and had fired a warning shot.
Upon arrival, deputies and CHP contacted the victim and her neighbor. Based on witness statements, investigators determined three suspects were involved. Two fled before deputies arrived and remain at large. They are described as an adult white female and an adult white male.

In 2024, Brandon Herrera, also known as the online personality The AK Guy, came very close to winning a runnoff primary against Representative Tony Gonzales in the Texas Republican primary for District 23. The Texas Congressional District 23 extends over a vast, mostly rural area of west Texas. In the initial multi-candidate primary, Herrera won 24.6% of the vote. In the 2024 runoff, Herrera won 49.4% of the vote, very close to an upset victory. Texas District 23 is considered a "safe" Republican district. In the general election of 2024, Gonzales received 180,720 votes to Democratic candidate Santos Limon, who received 109,373 votes, according to ballotpedia. Whoever wins the runoff Republican primary in 2026 is very likely to be the Republican Congressman in the House of Representatives from Texas District 23.
In 2026, Gonzales has been embroiled in a scandal involving the suicide of a married woman staffer. Some racy texts were sent to her by Gonzales. In the initial primary in 2026, Herrera obtained about 1.6% more votes than Gonzales, in field of four candidates. Kens5.com reported, as of 5:40 p.m. on March 4, 2026, these results:
43.33% Brandon Herrera 23,830 votes
41.73% Tony Gonzales 22,949 votes
8.49% Keith Barton 4,668 votes.
Francisco 'Quito' Canseco 6.46% 3,551 votes.
There were about 55,000 votes total in the initial primary of 2026. It is close to the number cast in the 2024 primary race, about 57,600 votes. In the runoff primary election of 2024, less than 30,000 votes were cast. In the initial primary of 2024, Gonzales had 25,988 votes. In the initial 2024 primary, Herrera received 24.6% or 14,201 votes. In the initial primary in 2026, Herrero almost doubled his vote total, while Gonzalex dropped almost three thousand votes. If that dynamic holds for the 2026 runoff, Gonzalez is in trouble. In the initiial primary of 2024, 54.9% of the votes were against Tony Gonzales. In the initial primary of 2026, 58.3% of the votes were against Tony Gonzales. After the bruising in the initial runoff of 2026, the U.S. House Ethics Committee opened an investigation into the allegations of an affair. From tpr.org:
The U.S. House Ethics Committee announced Wednesday that it has opened an investigation into Rep. Tony Gonzales, a Republican from Texas CD-23, following allegations involving his conduct toward a former staff member in his congressional office.
In a statement, the committee said it voted to create an investigative subcommittee to examine whether Gonzales may have violated the House Code of Official Conduct or other applicable rules.
According to the committee, the inquiry will focus on allegations that he may have engaged in sexual misconduct involving an employee in his office and whether he may have unfairly granted special favors or privileges.
On a YouTube with Joe Pags, Representative Tony Gonzales admitted to "making a mistake".
Trump had previously endorsed Tony Gonzales, but on Friday, February 27th, before the primary, Gonzales name was conspicuously absent from Trump's list of endorsements in the Texas primaries. From fox7austin.com:
Gonzales is facing a primary challenge from Brandon Herrera, who pushed him to a runoff in the 2024 primaries. The two were separated by less than 400 votes in the runoff in 2024.
Trump has previously endorsed Gonzales, but during Friday's flurry of endorsements, the congressman's name and district were noticeably absent.
Ballotpedia show Herrera with $868,569 in funds raised according to the Federal Elections Commission, as of February 11, 2026. According to the Texas Tribune, Herrera has raised 2.3 million in campaign funds as of March 4. The Tribune claims Herrara has more funds available than does Gonzales. According to San Antonio Today, Kyle Rittenhouse campaigned for Brandon Herrara in a door knocking campaign on March 2, a day before the initial primary election.

Philadelphia police said the preliminary investigation found that Jones-Walker was assaulting his girlfriend in a rear bedroom of the home when her 11-year-old son retrieved her firearm and shot him.
According to police, the man, who police say had no association with the hospital, was with a group of young men in the parking lot when they were approached by a security guard. At some point, the guard shot the man. Police have not confirmed if the man fired at the guard first.
The homeowner said at least one of the suspects had a gun, and that's when he feared for his safety, according to police.
He then shot his firearm at the suspects and they fled, police said.
"During our initial investigation, Darien Police Detectives determined that a male juvenile potentially matching the description of one of the suspects arrived at the Bridgeport Hospital suffering from a gunshot wound and was rushed to surgery," Darien police said in a Facebook post.

Man Fell in Love with Google Gemini and It Told Him to Stage a 'Mass Casualty Attack' Before He Took His Own Life: Lawsuit
Investigators said a woman tried to hold Reed back during the argument as Magee started backing away with his hands up, attempting to de-escalate the situation.
Reed pushed Magee and then acted like he was walking away before he turned back around, drew a handgun and fired multiple rounds at Magee, according to police.
Investigators said Magee then pulled his own handgun and returned fire as he was falling to the ground. Reed reportedly fled the scene in a car.
Reed was taken into custody at his home around 10 p.m. on March 5. He was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and tampering with physical evidence.
According to the probable cause affidavit, the victim claimed that Guy and the other man confronted him as he was walking home from the Target shopping plaza and assaulted him, repeatedly punching him in the face.
During the struggle, the victim allegedly retrieved a firearm from his backpack and fired it in self-defense.
The Sheriff's Office said that surveillance footage from the scene revealed Guy fleeing while discarding what deputies identified as Lewis’s stolen iPhone 13. He was also allegedly seen removing a firearm from a cross-body bag before being apprehended by deputies.
Investigators say 38-year-old Octavio Sanchez of Rio Hondo was beaten during a confrontation with Roel and Tristan Benitez. Sanchez told deputies he shot both brothers in self-defense during the alleged assault. The case is still under investigation, and no charges have been announced.
The incident occurred on Greentown Road in the McDonald Community around 1:20 p.m. Upon arrival, deputies located a male victim who suffered a gunshot wound to the leg and was airlifted to a regional trauma center for further treatment.
Another man at the scene, who deputies believe to be the shooter, has been detained for questioning. Deputies said that his statement appears to be consistent with self-defense, according to sheriff spokesperson Heather Pelham.

The need to be prepared to defend one’s self in an increasingly uncivil, hostile world is apparent.
