2023 Legislative Session Brought New Gun Safety Laws To Colorado

Lawmakers passed, and Governor Jared Polis signed into law, at least four major pieces of gun safety legislation this session.

News Director Shannon Young spoke with Eileen McCarron of Colorado Ceasefire of what did – and did not – make it through the legislature this session.
