Colorado law enforcement vows not to enforce new "red flag" gun law.

Colorado’s controversial “red flag” bill was signed into law by Democratic Gov. Jared Polis on Friday, with more than half of the state’s counties declaring opposition to it and many sheriffs promising not to enforce it at all.

Known as the “Extreme Risk Protection Order,” the law will allow a family member, a roommate or law enforcement to petition a judge to temporarily seize a person’s firearms if they are deemed a risk to themselves or others. Fourteen other states have passed similar legislation.

Still, the law now faces major hurdles, with a pro-gun lobby group promising to challenge it in court. Additionally, a growing number of sheriffs in the state have vowed to ignore the law when it takes effect next year, calling it unconstitutional.

Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams told CNN last month that he would rather be found in contempt of court and locked up in his own county jail than carry out a court order to seize a person’s weapon.

This is no comfort or consolation. The idiotic law is in force, and law enforcement can change their minds at any time for any reason.

I think its ridiculous and wrong to interfere with a persons right to blow their own head off.

That is not really what the law is about.

That law would allow just about anyone to be a tremendous pain in the ass to a gun owner, possibly its own self-fulfilling prophecy.

It's an outrageous law without any real foundation.
