Opinion | 'Colorado municipalities have quickly proven that they will take gun-control matters into their own hands and not wait for Congress to act.'
Fed up with reading and living the dreadful stories about mass shootings, including the heartbreaking murders at one of Boulder’s King Soopers stores, municipal leaders want comprehensive action.
Now, there are more than 400 million guns in the United States, which is hard to believe in a nation with 363 million adults and children. The list includes Boulder, Fort Collins, Lafayette, Lyons, Louisville, Superior, Broomfield, Boulder County, Edgewater, Denver, Westminster, Lakewood, Arvada, Wheat Ridge and Larimer County.
But national gun control remains elusive, despite the horrific shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde. Campaign finance reform is the key to ending the NRA’s grip on Congress. More on that later. At a time when the Pew Research Center said that 81% of citizens – even the Republicans who were polled – favor stronger gun laws, the U.S. Senate is proposing a weaker version.
