Republican bill to repeal new Colorado background checks on firearm sales fails

DENVER - Republican efforts to put a freeze on mandatory background checks for private gun sales were defeated on a party line vote in the Senate’s State, Veterans & Military Affairs Committee Monday night.

More than 20 people spoke in support of the measure and nearly 40 spoke out against it, during a marathon 6½ hour public hearing at the State Capitol.

Senate Bill 14-094 was sponsored by Sen. George Rivera, R-Pueblo. Rivera replaced Sen. Angela Giron after she was recalled because of her support for gun control legislation.
