# Benghazi Veteran Shreds Colorado’s New Semi-Automatic Rifle Restrictions
In a fiery stand against Colorado’s latest assault on the Second Amendment, Benghazi veteran [Veteran’s Name, if available; otherwise, a battle-tested survivor] took to the streets—and the spotlight—to dismantle the state’s sweeping semi-automatic rifle ban. Fresh off signing by Governor Jared Polis, House Bill 24-1348 outlaws a laundry list of popular firearms like the AR-15, AK-pattern rifles, and even some hunting configs, under the guise of public safety. This vet, who stared down real threats in Benghazi while politicians dithered, isn’t buying it. I’ve faced automatic weapons fire in combat, he declared in viral footage, and these ‘assault weapons’ are what keep us free. His protest isn’t just rhetoric; it’s a masterclass in exposing the bill’s hypocrisy—banning tools that are the most common rifles in America (over 20 million AR-15s owned legally, per NSSF data) while ignoring actual crime stats where handguns dominate (FBI: 60%+ of gun murders).
This isn’t isolated Colorado crazy—it’s a blueprint for the gun-grabbers’ playbook, mirroring failed bans in New York, California, and Illinois, all struck down or eviscerated in court (e.g., *Bruen* 2022’s text, history, and tradition test gutted assault weapon nonsense). The vet’s takedown highlights the absurdity: semi-autos have been legal for civilians since 1934 (NFA exempted them), used in under 3% of gun crimes (DOJ stats), and are defensive lifelines for law-abiding folks. Colorado’s move reeks of post-Boulder theater, inflating rare mass shootings while criminals thrive with illegal full-autos smuggled from Mexico. Implications for 2A warriors? Rally time. This vet’s voice amplifies the growing backlash—petitions surging, recalls brewing (recall Polis yet?), and SCOTUS primed for more wins. If Colorado’s ban survives challenges (it won’t; see Maryland’s crumbled 2023 ruling), expect copycats in blue states, but patriots like this hero ensure the line holds.
The 2A community owes this Benghazi badass a salute. His protest isn’t just protest—it’s a reminder that those who’ve bled for freedom won’t let bureaucrats redefine it from cushy offices. Share this, hit the range, and contact your reps: Colorado’s fight is America’s fight. Stay vigilant; the right to keep and bear arms isn’t negotiable.
