Colorado Lawmakers Advance Gun Control Measures 
------------------------------------------------


 
Colorado lawmakers have advanced a new package of gun control measures
spurred by the state's mass shootings in Aurora last summer and in
Columbine over a decade ago. In a marathon session, Colorado's state
Senate advanced proposals including universal background checks, barring
guns from domestic abusers, and restricting the size of gun magazines.
If given final approval, the measures would constitute some of the
toughest gun laws in the country.
