'Red flag' expansion among gun bills that advance to Colorado Senate floor
Three bills aimed at slowing gun violence in Colorado made it through a committee on Wednesday following an all-day hearing at the Legislature.
The entire Senate will now consider bills to expand the state’s extreme risk protection order law, allow victims of gun violence to sue manufacturers more easily, and raise the minimum age to purchase a firearm.
Together, combined with a bill to enact a three-day waiting period for gun purchases, the bills represent the Democrats’ united effort to address gun violence in the state amid a rise in mass shootings, suicide and other forms of firearm-related harms.
All three bills passed through committee on a party-line vote. Democrats hold large majorities in both the Senate and House this session.
