Colorado's House Begins Voting on Gun Measures

On Wednesday, Colorado's House Education Committee voted seven to six to remove the ability of properly trained to people to have concealed carry firearms on college campuses.

The bill will still face further voting to actually pass the whole of the House and Senate, but it's one more step, in the wrong direction.

Another House committee is discussing whether or not to revive fees on mandatory background checks, for gun purchasers.

Tuesday saw a House committee voted that private gun sales require background checks and also placed a limit on how many bullets can be held in a single magazine or clip.

All of the voting has been down party lines, with Republicans voting against the measures and Democrats voting for.
