Colorado Senate Approves Repeal Of New Gun Background Checks
March 26, 2015 posted by Steve Brownstein
Senate Republicans voted to undo new Colorado background checks for gun purchases between private sellers conducted online and in person, but their repeal is expected to hit a wall in the House.
The Senate on Wednesday voted 18-17 with only Republican support to repeal the background-check expansion Democrats passed in 2013. It was a response to mass shootings the previous year in a suburban Denver movie theater and Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary.
