Colorado governor signs 4 gun control bills after massacre

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:03:28 GMT

By Jesse Bedayn | Associated Press/Report for AmericaDENVER — Colorado’s governor signed four gun control bills Friday, following the lead of other states struggling to confront a nationwide surge in violent crime and mass shootings, despite a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that expanded Second Amendment rights.Before the ink was even dry on Gov. Jared Polis’ signature, gun rights groups sued to reverse two of the measures: raising the buying age for any gun from 18 to 21, and establishing a three-day waiting period between the purchase and receipt of a gun. The courts are already weighing lawsuits over such restrictions in other states.The new laws, which Democrats pushed through despite late-night filibusters from Republicans, are aimed at quelling rising suicides and youth violence, preventing mass shootings and opening avenues for gun violence victims to sue the long-protected firearm industry. They were enacted just five months after a mass shooting at an LGBTQ cl...

I understand the football program hasn’t been especially notable of late (arguably, neither has SMU). But New Mexico would seem to check a lot of boxes for the Pac-12. — Brent CarrellI’m not sure about “a lot” of boxes, but at least three.New Mexico works geographically, it’s an R1 research school (the highest level) and the basketball program operates at a sufficiently competitive level, although the past eight or nine years have been rough.Also, the Albuquerque media market is the 48th-largest in the country, substantially bigger than Tucson and Spokane, for instance.In all candor, the Hotline has wondered about the Lobos as an expans...
