RE: SB26-004 Expand List of Petitioners for Protection Order
SPONSORS: SULLIVAN, FROELICH
FROM: JEANY RUSH, COLORADO CONSTITUENT 1-27-26
VOTE: NO NO NO
When did we enter into the real world of the Communist Manifesto? When did we enter into the real world of “BIG BROTHER.?” When did we make it ok to “Expand / Add more layers of “Extreme Risk Protection Orders” to completely overtake constitutional rights, DUE PROCESS RIGHTS of citizens in this nation?
How do any of you justify using Safety Clause on an issue this critical to our rights, by circumventing the right of the citizens of Colorado to vote on this much Usurpation of our Rights?
It is quite clear, this bill is nothing short of an Expansion of “Red Flag” law and an Assault on the 2nd Amendment Rights. “Shall Not Infringe” Lawful gun owners have saved many lives, while criminals do not respect any gun laws!
What could go wrong by adding: Health Care Facilities, Behavioral Health Treatment Facilities, k-12 schools, Colleges & Universities to the list of new petitioners? Perhaps a chaotic’ frenzy of people who already want to disarm America? Or professionals who already have demonstrated that they don’t even understand the damages their drug prescriptions put onto innocent minors, often destabilizing a minors entire mental behavior. The last 12 plus school shootings were by ‘trans’ youth on too many drugs! What a connection this poses! Enabling too many of these organizations, often not really vetted properly, lends itself to what happened in Salem, Mass. Witchhunts deluxe! This is truly an irresponsible and provoking damage type of legislation.
The litigation and vicarious legal implications are endless. This bill also poses a veritable “FREE-FOR-ALL” attack on HIPPA medical protections. The furtherance and overbearing powers of the courts is also expanded to erase more citizens rights!
The violation of Trust for all concerned is beyond reasonable, and guaranteed to throw our society into more harm, and less true help for those in real need of mental health care! I OBJECT!
