Colorado Democrats shelve effort to impose a gun-purchase waiting period this year
Even without the waiting-period measure, the 2021 legislative session in Colorado will be one of the state’s most significant with regard to gun control

Anti-gunners have long supported gun purchase waiting periods. They’re of the belief that if you make law-abiding citizens wait to buy a gun, it’ll appreciably decrease the amount of violent crime…despite the fact that most criminals obtain firearms through illegal means, which don’t include waiting periods.
Regardless, the subject kind of fizzled in a lot of ways until the mass shooting in Atlanta, Georgia where the killer purchased a firearm that day.
Now, people are pushing for gun purchase waiting periods for one and all.
Democratic state lawmakers have shelved efforts to pass a bill imposing a gun-purchase waiting period this year, as they had planned before the 2021 lawmaking term began.
Case in point: Wednesday morning.Â
Rep. Richard Holtorf, an Akron Republican, was making a lengthy case for an amendment as the chamber debated a stimulus bill seeking to infuse $10 million into the stateâs arts and film industries as well as cultural organizations.Â
House Bill 21-1285, from metro Denver Democratic Reps. Leslie Herod and Adrienne Benavidez, cleared the House Business Affairs and Labor Committee on party lines last week before winning the approval of the chamberâs Appropriations Committee on the strength of Democratic votes earlier this week.
On Wednesday, the bill faced far stronger opposition from Republicans than it had seen in committee. GOP members, led by Holtorf, chided their Democratic colleagues for the the billâs cost, saying there were clear needs elsewhere.
