Any major push to pass an assault-style weapon s ban in Colorado is looking increasingly less likely, with the legislature s highest-profile advocate for stricter gun laws saying now isn t the time.
“It diverts all of the attention,” said Democratic Rep. Tom Sullivan of Centennial.
Instead, Sullivan wants to focus efforts on policies he believes would be more effective at preventing gun violence. Technology, he said, can circumvent bans on specific types of weapons.
“They work around it, with printers at home, or ordering piece by piece, that has no serial number on it,” he said. “And they manufacture something that could be deemed an assault weapon.”
