On Monday, the Colorado senate approved five of seven gun control proposals, perhaps marking the end of a bitter battle over gun rights in the Centennial State.
The approval of these new gun laws comes in the wake of the mass shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, and at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, which together reignited the national debate over gun control.
With the help of local Colorado news affiliate KUSA-TV, here is an updated list of the seven proposals:
- UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS: House Bill 1229 would add a background-check requirement for many guns sold in private transactions. Passed by the Senate today. The Democratic-sponsored bill has already cleared the House but is headed back for a hearing on an amendment that would allow guns to be repaired without the repair shop owner needing a check.
- MAGAZINE LIMITS: House Bill 1224 limits gun ammunition magazines to 15 rounds. The Democratic-sponsored bill has cleared the House, and passed through the Senate today. It will head back to the House for a hearing on an amendment that limits shotguns to no more than 28 inches worth of shells.
- FIREARM BAN FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OFFENDERS: Senate Bill 197 would expand a ban on gun ownership for people convicted of certain domestic-violence offenses. The bill passed the Senate today.
- GUN LIABILITY: Senate Bill 196 adds legal liability for gun sellers and owners. The bill faced its first test Monday. Dropped from Senate consideration.
- GUNS ON CAMPUS: House Bill 1226 would end Colorados unusual law barring public college campuses from banning concealed weapons. The Democratic-sponsored bill has already cleared the House. Dropped from Senate consideration.

If Magpul doesn’t leave now, they will not get my business again.
Now the fight moves to the courts.
Since most shotgun shells are 2-3/4 inches in length, so in essence this puts a 10 round limit on the holding capacity of the shotgun.
Sickening. Very tough choices are on the horizon.
Deny, Defy, Do not Comply!
Another illustration of why we can’t just Throw All The Bums Out of Congress. We have to also Throw All The Bums Out of our State Capitols.
Drums and dual tubes would be gone.
Police Loophole:
This is a list of companies that have taken the step to publicly announce that they will not sell items to states, counties, cities, and municipalities that restrict their citizens rights to own them; therefore closing the “police loophole” themselves. It is important to note that we are against gun control; we are not against any particular government agency or individuals.
As of 3-11-13 total Number of Companies is 131.
Be prepared, a national Reichstag moment is coming.
I have a hunch you're right, ChildOfThe60s.
It has surprised me that they have waited so long. Other than that My FRiend, I agree with you 100%.
And we know how that will end. obama and the Democrats own the courts.
No doubt, quite a few anti-Second-Amendment constituents will be sure come from the northeast and west coast to ski, hunt or otherwise vacation in CO soon, to show their support for gun control and marijuana legalization.
GOOD ON YOU!
I want my state back.
I feel the same way. If things continue as they are in Virginia I will pack up and move back to my native Alabama. At my age I am certain that I will have passed from this life by the time that state turns blue.
Ha! Alabama will NEVER turn blue! You can be assured of that!
Yes, I suppose it won’t, but what bothers me is the talk on various FR threads about the possibility of Texas turning blue. I’m just playing my odds, i.e., if the unthinkable happens and Alabama is captured by the liberals (i.e., blacks influenced by the liberals, remember there are many blacks in Alabama), this would occur way down the road and I won’t be around to see it.
