Colorado – SB 25-003 has been signed by the governor . It looks like all gas operated long guns are banned for sale in the state. Looks like you can't bring any into the states also. Doesn't say that but if you can't sell or buy them in the state you most likely can't bring one in. Gas Operated handguns are also banned. Most handguns are recoil operated. I am also under the impression the Desert Eagle is Gas Operated. It also updates the punishment for having a higher cap mag from class 2 to class 1.

Note: I had the wrong date for this bill to become law. The actual date is (2) ON OR AFTER AUGUST 1, 2026, IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO KNOWINGLY MANUFACTURE, DISTRIBUTE, TRANSFER, SELL, OR PURCHASE A SPECIFIED SEMIAUTOMATIC FIREARM;
Iowa – Effective July 1,2025 Iowa will issue a permit to carry to those 18 or older. The Governor signed the bill and even stated, "House File 924, an Act relating to the minimum age for acquiring or carrying weapons." So this would also lower their age to carry under permitless carry and the age restrictions the previous version of this law stated you had to be 21.
