Senate Bill 3 is the latest attempt by Colorado Democrats to outlaw the manufacture, purchase and sale of certain semiautomatic firearms in the state.
The bill targets semiautomatic rifles and shotguns that are capable of accepting detachable ammunition magazines, as well as some semiautomatic pistols that also can use detachable magazines.
The Colorado Sun analyzed the measure and talked with experts to determine which firearms would and wouldn’t be affected by the bill, which awaits its first hearing at the Capitol.
