Colorado – A proposed 2022 ballot referendum would have amended current animal cruelty laws and no longer allow certain humane animal husbandry practices, including artificial insemination. On June 21, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that the referendum violated the state constitution because it contained more than one subject. As such, supporters may no longer collect signatures and the initiative cannot move forward. Read AKC’s update for more information.

U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Tomorrow, February 10, at 11:00 am, the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee is scheduled to consider two pro-gun bills outlined below.
Please contact committee members and ask them to SUPPORT House Bill 307 and House Bill 334.
House Bill 307: Over recent years, numerous local governments have attempted to enact gun control ordinances in violation of the current state firearms preemption law, putting law-abiding gun owners at risk. This piece of legislation aims at strengthening New Hampshire’s preemption law to protect New Hampshire gun owners. Further, HB 307 allows anyone adversely impacted by an ordinance or regulation to file suit against the county, city, town or government entity that enacted the violation (after the notice is given).
