In March of 2013, despite Colorado
majority public opposition, the Colorado Senate Judiciary Committee
and State Senate voted to advance the most extreme gun control
legislation in Colorado history. They voted to advance the following
anti-firearm bills:
- House Bill 224: Bans magazines with a capacity greater than fifteen rounds.
- Senate Bill 196: Holds all manufacturers, distributors and owners of any rifle, excluding bolt action, they produce, sell or use, liable if that gun is misused to harm another person. [Note that the definition in the bill of an “assault weapon” includes a single shot or double-barreled shotgun and any break-open single-shot rifle as well as every semi-automatic rifle and shotgun].
- House Bill 1226: Repeals current law allowing individuals with a concealed carry permit to carry a firearm for self-defense on a college or university campus.
- House Bill 1228: Imposes a “gun tax” for a background check when purchasing a firearm. [Like Wisconsin does for handgun purchases]
- House Bill 1229: Criminalizes the private transfer of a firearm.
