Colorado Lawmakers Approve Gun Laws 
------------------------------------


 
Colorado state lawmakers have given final approval to some of the
toughest gun control laws in the country. The measures include a limit
on ammunition magazines to 15 rounds, forcing gun buyers to pay for
background checks, a requirement that domestic abusers surrender their
guns, and a ban on obtaining concealed-carry permits online. Democratic
Governor John Hickenlooper has pledged to sign the measures into law.
