Fox News
The Democratic-controlled Legislature in Colorado passed a package of gun control measures. The state's governor is expected to sign the bills into law.
A measure set to be debated Wednesday that would implement a sweeping ban on semi-automatic firearms faces much stiffer odds and illustrates that even Democratic-controlled statehouses don't have free rein on overhauling laws rooted deep in American culture.
Hundreds of people have signed up to testify at the proposal's first hearing in what is expected to be a passionate hearing with a mix of gun owners opposing the measure and supporters campaigning to reduce gun violence that plagues the country.
