gun control

Rocky Mountain Community Radio hosted a statewide call-in show on the 2025 Colorado legislative session featuring reporters who are part of the Colorado Capitol News Alliance.

House Republicans announced an effort Wednesday to get U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to review the constitutionality of a sweeping gun-control measure signed into law last week.

Three gun-control bills have just one procedural step to go before they can be signed into law. That means sweeping new rules could be on the horizon for gun owners and sellers.

The measure still needs to clear a few procedural votes, but it appears on its way to Gov. Jared Polis' desk.

A Democratic co-sponsor has dropped his support for Senate Bill 3, and debate has been postponed to negotiate with a skeptical Gov. Jared Polis.

Four states have set up procedures for people to restrict sales of guns to themselves voluntarily.

House Bill 1133 is promoted as a way to align the rules for ammunition sales in Colorado with the new law prohibiting anyone younger than 21 from purchasing a gun.

Last week, the Colorado Department of Agriculture hosted a virtual town hall on new water regulations from the Food and Drug Administration. The meeting covered new harvest and post-harvest water requirements for farmers across the state, including those in southwest Colorado. And several politically-charged bills are headed to Governor Jared Polis’ desk. Two of them are Democrat-sponsored gun-control measures.

Colorado Democrats advanced a bill last week that would make it a crime to openly carry a gun near a polling center or ballot drop box. And a new study found lesbian, bi-, pan- and a- sexual women in Utah are four times less likely to graduate high school than heterosexual women.

Legal experts say the state's law is unconstitutional. But it could have a chilling effect on the state's law enforcement officers anyway.
