Unlike many other states (who ban them outright), Title II weapons (machine guns, suppressors, short barreled rifles and shotguns, AOW’s, and destructive devices) are legal in Colorado, but those firearms do have significant restrictions and regulations set by federal law (mostly defined in the 1934 National Firearms Act). Unfortunately, the price on many of these firearms is outrageous (usually 15-20 times the price of the semi-automatic counterpart). Why? In 1986, the NRA worked to pass the McClure-Volkmer Act. Amongst other things, it halted the production of transferable machine guns in America. That means that if an individual (non-police or Class 3 dealer) wants to buy a machine gun, he must purchase one built and registered in 1986 or earlier. Again, the NRA supported this (yet another example of the NRA selling out the American gun owner). Read more about NFA (Title II) weapons below: |
