Colorado Gun Laws Remain Lax, Despite Some Changes

The news of the horrifying armed assault in Aurora, Colo. just a half-hour drive from the site of the Columbine High School shootings in 1999 has a freakish resonance in a state that has long played an unsought role in the national debate over gun laws and firearm rights.

.

As a mountain state, Colorado has a history of broad support for Second Amendment rights. But in the years since the Columbine tragedy, the states lawmakers and voters passed some gun restrictions, including requirements governing the sale of firearms at gun shows, a law regulating peoples ability to carry concealed weapons and legislation banning straw purchases of weapons for people who would not qualify to buy them legitimately.

.

Still, James Holmes, 24, the former neuroscience student believed to be the lone gunman in Fridays shootings in Aurora, armed himself with an assault rifle, a shotgun and a handgun to allegedly kill 12 and wound 59 others, many critically. All were weapons that would probably be legal for him to possess.

.

The guy basically had normal guns, said Eugene Volokh, an expert in constitutional law at the University of California, Los Angeles. Unless some new evidence of documented psychiatric disturbance emerges, Mr. Volokh added, theres no indication that, from his record, he is someone whom more restrictive screening procedures would have caught.

.

Despite the changes over the past 13 years, Colorado law still prohibits local governments from restricting gun rights in several significant ways. Moreover, gun rights organizations have successfully fought other efforts to restrict access to guns, including blocking a University of Colorado rule prohibiting concealed weapons on campus.

.

People in Colorado are allowed to carry firearms in a vehicle, loaded or unloaded, as long as the gun is intended for lawful uses like personal protection or protecting property.
