    Colorado lawmakers approve sweeping gun-control measures

    http://news.yahoo.com/colorado-lawmakers-approve-sweeping-gun-control-measures-014819045.html

    "DENVER (Reuters) - Both chambers of the majority Democratic Colorado legislature approved a package of four gun-control measures on Wednesday, capping months of debate in a state that has experienced two of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history.

    The most controversial of the bills that are now headed to the desk of Democratic Governor John Hickenlooper is a ban on ammunition magazines with more than 15 rounds, which the governor said he will sign into law.


    Other bills included in the package of gun-control laws approved by Colorado lawmakers included a measure to make firearm buyers pay for their own background checks and a ban on online certification for concealed-carry permits, both of which Hickenlooper has said he supports.
    Another measure would bar gun purchases by people convicted of domestic violence crimes. Hickenlooper had previously said he was undecided about that until he could see the final version."

    Both chambers of the legislature have Democratic majorities and a Democratic governor.

        Pretty funny I have to admit. Potentially just sheer coincidence but an interesting fact none the less. With only 2 majour parties in the US it's reasonable to assume a 50-50 chance of being either Dem or Lib. Granted those aren't quite the figures if you include fringe parties etc...

          While many like to characterize the Democratic party as anti gun and anti Second Amendment, they are neither. Being pro gun control in a nation with 12,000 firearms murders per year is good civic policy. Similarly, no one is talking about forcibly taking away anyone's gun. That is simply NRA stoked hysteria to keep the gun/ammo industry, they lobby so hard for, very profitable.

              I just find it amazing that someone who doesn't live in America would think they know more about my country than I do.

                    And many more have bought a tombstone with a knife. Oh no... what will we eat our steak with if they ban all knives.

                    Brings up an interesting question: How important do you have to be before you're assassinated instead of murdered?

                      It is kinda funny how some people think the solution to rampant gun violence is more guns. Makes you wonder.

                        Some one out side of your country with limited knowledge should not be making waves in a situation that has no bearing what so ever on their own way of life.

                          I wouldn't say no bearing what so ever necessarily. There's always a trickle down effect.
