Bill for” Assault Weapons” is shelved by Colorado politicians.

Early on Thursday night, Colorado House of Representatives legislators decided to put on hold a bill that forbids people from purchasing and selling” assault arms” in the state.

HB23 – 1230 was introduced by Democrat representative Elisabeth Epps in Denver.
