On Thursday, House and Senate Democrats hosted a press conference announcing four bills. They mark the biggest slate of gun reforms in the state since a package of gun bills passed in 2021 in the wake of the Boulder King Soopers mass shooting.
House Bill 23-1219 stipulates that the seller must wait three days after the initiation of a required background check on the person purchasing the gun or when the purchase is approved following any background check, whichever is later. The legislation would not apply to the sale of an antique firearm or a relic. It would also not apply to the sale of a firearm by someone in the Armed Forces who will be deployed outside of the United States within the next 30 days to an immediate family member or to a firearm transfer for which a background check is not required.
However, those ordinances are being challenged in court by Colorado’s largest gun lobby organization, Rocky Mountain Gun Owners. They were temporarily blocked last summer. That legislation is still pending in court. Colorado is also one of three states that require those suing the gun industry to pay the defendants’ legal fees. Since 2021, however, four states have expanded the rights of victims and their families to sue the gun industry.
The draft bill also allows the attorney general to sue the gun industry for any violations within five years of the incident.
