Colorado lawmakers passed a bill on Friday to mandate universal background checks for all gun buyers in a state that has experienced two of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history, a spokesman for majority Colorado House Democrats said.
The measure passed after months of debate on gun control in Colorado, and came after legislators approved four other gun control measures on Wednesday.The legislation now awaits the signature of Governor John Hickenlooper for final approval. Hickenlooper, a Democrat, has indicated he supports universal background checks for gun buyers.
Did you hear that Magpul, a maker of standard capacity magazines, is leaving Colorado thanks to all the gun control bills? That's jobs leaving the state. There are plenty of states that would be happy to take those jobs. I hear that Colt is considering leaving Connecticut. Who knows--perhaps Arkansas will get a passel of good companies soon.
