After a full day Tuesday of listening to testimony from gun control advocates and opponents, Colorado Democrats passed two bold new bills aimed at curbing gun violence in a state that has the dubious distinction of being the home to two of the bloodiest mass shootings in American history -- Columbine and Aurora.

First, the House Judiciary Committee passed House Bill 1229, on a 7 to 4 party line vote, which requires universal background checks on all private gun sales in Colorado. Read the full text of HB-1229 here.

Then, late Tuesday night, the committee passed a bill that bans the sale of high capacity gun magazines that hold more than 15 rounds or more than five shotgun shells. A person who already owns a high-capacity magazine fitting the description would be able to continue to own the magazine but would have to maintain continuous possession of it. Late Tuesday, HP-1224 was amended to increase the amount of rounds in a magazine to 15, instad of 10, and was also passed on a party line vote of 7 to 4, read the full text of the bill here.

MB, I have a lead on Wyo property that is relatively cheap, has a drillable aquifer, and is being sold as "off grid" home sites.
40 acres for less than 70,000.

To read this after listening to today's podcast is truly heart wrenching.

My condolances, MB and everyone in Colorado.

Welcome to New Jersey!

Don't send the welcome wagon just yet.

These only made them out of committee, they still have to be voted on by the house and senate.

Magpul is saying they will move out of state if the magazine limit passes.
