Colorado gun stores seeing impact following restrictions on certain semi-automatic firearms

Colorado gun stores are experiencing slower sales following new restrictions requiring eligibility cards and safety courses for purchasing certain semi-automatic firearms. The Shootist Gun Range in Englewood reported record-breaking sales previously but now faces customer confusion and frustration over the law. Store manager Kale Sykes expressed concerns about the law feeling punitive to law-abiding customers and doubts about its effectiveness in preventing criminal access to weapons.
