Colorado Governor Signs Gun Control Law 
----------------------------------------


 
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper has signed legislation enacting some of
the toughest gun control laws in the country. Colorado's new gun law
limits ammunition magazines to 15 rounds, expands background checks,
requires domestic abusers to surrender their guns, and bans
concealed-carry permits online. At the signing ceremony, Hickenlooper
was joined by the relatives of gun violence victims, including those
killed in last summer's shooting rampage at a movie theater in the
Colorado town of Aurora.
