Colorado House Approves Ban on Assault Weapons, Senate Fate Uncertain

The Colorado House of Representatives passed a bill banning the sale of assault weapons, facing an uncertain fate in the Senate. The bill defines assault weapons as a broad range of semiautomatic firearms and has sparked debate between Democrats and Republicans. If passed, the bill is likely to face legal challenges and is seen as improbable to be signed into law by Gov. Jared Polis. The Senate is considered more moderate, and the bill's fate remains uncertain despite a Democratic majority.
