A ban on the most popular semiautomatic rifles and numerous shotguns has passed Colorado’s House and Senate and is heading to Gov. Jared Polis’s (D) desk. The Colorado Sun noted the bill passed in the Senate earlier this week on a 19-15 vote. The 19 votes supporting the ban were all cast by Democrats. On January 29, 2025, Breitbart News warned a ban on numerous semiautomatic firearms — rifles and shotguns — passed the Colorado Senate Affairs Committee and was headed to the Senate Floor.
