Published Wed, 27 Nov 2024 10:50:19 GMT
Colorado Democrats hope to ban unserialized firearms — so-called “ghost guns” — with a bill being introduced this week.The bill would be a final piece in a package of new regulations endorsed by Democratic leadership and the governor that has otherwise mostly made their way through the legislature. That package includes proposals to lift the age limit on buying firearms, create a waiting period to buy firearms, add who can invoke the state’s extreme risk protection order law, and remove liability protections for firearm manufacturers.“All of it is designed to regulate and to address gun violence,” said Sen. Rhonda Fields, an Aurora Democrat and sponsor of the unserialized gun bill.Under the ghost gun proposal, it would be a misdemeanor to possess or manufacture firearms that lack serial numbers. A second offense would be a felony. The introduced bill would give owners of firearms that lack serial numbers until Jan. 1 to get them registered. ...Westminster road-rage shooter claimed out-of-body experience during killing of boy, wounding of 3 others, DA says
