Colorado Democrats\u2019 gun reform agenda is latest COVID casualty<\/a><\/p>\n

Colorado House Rep. Tom Sullivan had a gun bill drafted and ready to introduce before the 2020 legislative session even started in January.<\/p>\n

But now, his legislation requiring lost or stolen firearms to be reported is headed toward the chopping block, along with nearly 300 other bills claimed by the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

Sullivan, an Aurora Democrat, isn\u2019t giving up on House Bill 1356 or another bill on secure storage of guns because he made a promise to his supporters that he would get them through this year. But he also sees the writing on the wall. With only three weeks to get a budget and essential bills passed, Colorado House Democratic leaders say there isn\u2019t time to debate changes to gun laws this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had said at the beginning of the session that the session would be a failure if I couldn\u2019t get a single Republican to vote on either of the two bills,\u201d Sullivan said. \u201cIt would be more of a failure if I don\u2019t even get either of those bills to see the light of day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sullivan\u2019s bill would have required individuals to report lost or stolen firearms to law enforcement within 48 hours. The first offense would draw a fine and the second a misdemeanor………….<\/p>\n

The gun loss or theft bill, along with the gun storage bill, House Bill 1355, were assigned to the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee where they are expected to be postponed indefinitely, or killed.<\/p>\n

The secure storage bill would make unlawfully storing a firearm a misdemeanor. This would apply to guns stored where a minor can access them without permission from their parent and those stored in the residence of a person who isn\u2019t allowed to have a firearm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
