Gun Regulations

Colorado has had dozens of incidents of gunfire on school campuses.

The Colorado chapter of the National Rifle Association sued state leadership Tuesday over a sweeping firearm regulation that will require Coloradans to take safety courses to purchase most semiautomatic rifles starting next August.

A federal lawsuit filed Tuesday contests one of Colorado’s newest and most restrictive gun-control laws.

From limiting who can purchase most semiautomatic rifles on the market today to raising the minimum age to buy ammunition, Democrats in the legislature were busy this year imposing new gun regulations.

House Republicans announced an effort Wednesday to get U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to review the constitutionality of a sweeping gun-control measure signed into law last week.

Three gun-control bills have just one procedural step to go before they can be signed into law. That means sweeping new rules could be on the horizon for gun owners and sellers.

House Republicans are expected to filibuster the detachable magazine ban, but they don’t have the numbers to stop it.

An amendment to Senate Bill 3 would give sheriffs broad power to deny an application to buy certain semiautomatic guns that accept detachable magazines.

Lawmakers at the state capitol hope a new bill can reduce the number of deaths by suicide with a firearm. The measure would allow someone who’s concerned about their mental health to put a voluntary freeze on their ability to buy a gun. Today on In The NoCo, we take a deeper look at what the bill would do and why it has bipartisan support.

Hundreds of Coloradans gathered at the State Capitol to testify on the sweeping gun control measure. Ultimately, after a marathon hearing, lawmakers voted to advance it along party lines.
