Colorado Legislature to Further Review Background Checks on Gun Purchases

DENVER (AP) — Background checks for private gun purchases in Colorado are up for additional review in the state Legislature.

A group of House and Senate members today will be looking specifically at exemptions to allow people to give guns to relatives without doing a background check.

The bill is one of the biggest pieces of gun-control legislation still pending.

A limit on ammunition magazines has cleared the Legislature and awaits the governor's signature.
