Colorado Gun Reforms.
Amid growing Capitol rallies by students protesting school shootings, the Colorado legislature passed the most significant package of gun control legislation in state history. The bills include raising the age limit to purchase firearms; making it easier to sue gun manufacturers; and expanding the state’s red-flag law. The package of gun reform bills puts Colorado on the forefront of the national firearm debate.

The new program, funded with a tax on high earners, will make Colorado one of only a handful of states to offer free school meals to all students. Advocates examine the implementation plans.
