LATEST: Demonstrators from across the country began gathering on Monday outside the Colorado Capitol as part of a sit-in protest, calling on Gov. Jared Polis to ban all guns in a move that the governor and supporters alike agree is unconstitutional.
— five bills intended to blunt gun violence. They include an expansion of the state’s red-flag law; a three-day minimum waiting period to obtain firearms; regulations around so-called “ghost guns”; and raising the age to purchase firearms to 21. Another new law also makes it easier to sue gun manufacturers and dealers.
“The Governor takes the weighty responsibility of executive action and the trust Coloradans placed in him to govern responsibly seriously, and will not issue an unconstitutional order that will be struck down in court simply to make a public relations statement — he will continue to focus on real solutions to help make Colorado one of the ten safest states,” according to the statement.
“This executive order is in direct violation of the Second Amendment,” Rao told The Denver Post on Friday. “And this is the first step in a journey towards repealing the Second Amendment.” The group hopes to gather 25,000 women from across the country to participate in the sit in, which began at 5 a.m. Monday and will continue each day until 8 p.m. “as long as it takes for Polis to sign an executive order,” according to Rao.
