It\u2019s ripe for confiscation of personal private property.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Cadman asked for more time to work with democrats on the measure stating that it was a Bill republicans wanted to support but couldn\u2019t in it\u2019s present form \u2013 but was denied.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters of the measure presented an argument detailing statistics claiming that 13 people were shot in 2011 by domestic violence offenders who under federal law should not have been in possession of firearms.<\/p>\n<p>The Bill requires courts to order anyone subject to a\u00a0<em>domestic violence\u00a0<strong>protection order<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0or anyone who\u2019s actually been convicted of domestic violence to surrender their guns within 24 hours.

The person who gave up their firearms must then show a \u201c<em>receipt of relinquishment<\/em>\u201d to the court. The right to the guns could be restored in the event that a protection order was lifted.<\/p>\n<p>GOP senators said the Bill essentially amounted to\u00a0<strong>gun confiscation<\/strong>, arguing that protective orders weren\u2019t convictions and only those actually convicted of a violent crime should be subjected to any loss of constitutional rights.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Bill 197 now moves on to the House.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Colorado\u00a0Senate\u00a0passed Senate Bill 197 on a 20-15 party line vote on Monday. \u00a0The Bill, sponsored by Sen.
