Lawmakers kill five bills aimed at repealing some Colorado gun laws

DENVER -- Lawmakers took up five proposals in the Colorado Legislature on Monday that could have changed gun laws in the state. But after seven hours of hearings, all five bills failed.

The proposals were designed to remove some of the restrictions related to guns that have been passed in the past few years.

The process started Monday with emotional testimony that took place all afternoon and into the evening.

"There were 647 people in this state who died from gun violence," Eileen McCarron of Colorado Ceasefire told members of the House State, Veterans & Military Affairs Committee.
