Colorado appears ready to join other states in clamping down on Second Amendment rights. A draft of the “Mass Shooting Prevention Act,” expected to be introduced in the upcoming legislative session, was made public and Second Amendment Advocates are concerned.

“You might as well call this the ‘Gun Owners Get Out of Town Bill,’” Rhodes said.
