"Colorado Democrats Advance Gun Control Legislation Despite National Attention"
Colorado Democrats are pushing a series of gun control bills, including a ban on "assault weapons," an 11% tax on gun and ammunition sales, and increased standards for concealed handgun training classes. Second Amendment experts argue that these bills, which have largely flown under the national radar, could have far-reaching implications beyond Colorado and are being used as blueprints for other states. Critics say the proposed legislation would disproportionately impact law-abiding citizens, particularly women, and lower-income Americans, while proponents argue that such measures are necessary to protect communities from mass shootings.
