It's the law in Colorado: Gun background checks, ammo limits

 LOS ANGELES TIMES 6 Hours Ago It's the law in Colorado: Gun background checks, ammo limits Colorado has expanded gun background checks and limited the size of ammunition magazines, even as the U.S. Senate has stepped back from some of its more controversial gun control proposals.

While Americans were mourning the loss of, now, eight Marines killed in a training exercise in Nevada, Harry Reid took to the floor of the Senate to imply that accidents such as this would happen as a result of sequestration budget cuts. Since yesterday's remarks, Senator Reid's office has started to pedal backwards saying, “In the wake of the Hawthorne tragedy, Senator Reid's thoughts are with the Marines who were killed or i...
