Colorado Governor Signs Sweeping Gun Control Legislation into Law.
TL;DR Summary
Colorado's governor signed four gun control bills aimed at preventing mass shootings, reducing suicides, and opening avenues for gun violence victims to sue the firearm industry. The measures include raising the buying age for any gun from 18 to 21, establishing a three-day waiting period between the purchase and receipt of a gun, and instituting a new red flag law. Republicans decried the bills as onerous encroachments on second amendment rights that would impede Colorado residents' ability to defend themselves amid a rising statewide crime rate.
