Initiative to ban guns from public college campuses moves forward

A proposed ballot initiative to ban guns from Colorado's public colleges and universities cleared the first hurdle on Thursday as the state board approved initiative's title.

The initiative aims to add higher-learning institutions to the list of schools where it is prohibited to carry firearms along with public elementary, middle and high schools.

Current laws prohibit carrying guns on the campuses of public elementary, middle and high schools.

A bill banning concealed weapons on college campuses in 2013 failed at the legislature.

are smarter than the right-wingers think they are and they will return real Democrats to office -- along with more sensible gun control legislation. The tide is turning.
