DENVER — A bill that would have banned the transfer, sale and purchase of certain high-powered semi-automatic weapons in Colorado will have no chance of becoming law this year, its sponsor in the Senate said Monday afternoon.
“After thoughtful conversations with my Senate colleagues, I decided that more conversations need to take place outside of the pressure cooker of the Capitol during the last weeks of the legislative session,” Sen. Gonzales said in her statement. “In that spirit, I look forward to renewing and continuing those discussions over the interim.”
While the bill was expected to easily pass the Democrat-controlled House, it faced an uphill battle in the Senate, where more moderate Democrats serve. It was also not clear whether Gov. Polis would have signed the bill if it had made it to his desk.
