Colorado House Passes Gun-Control Measures 
-------------------------------------------


 
Colorado lawmakers have passed a series of strict gun-control measures
in a state that has suffered some of the worst mass shootings in recent
history. The package would ban ammunition magazines with more than 15
rounds, require background checks on all gun purchases and allow
colleges to ban concealed weapons on campus. Not a single Republican
supported the bills, which now head before the Democratically controlled
state senate.
