Colorado passes bill to seize guns from people deemed threat to self, others | Reuters
DENVER (Reuters) - The Colorado legislature on Monday passed a “red flag” bill that would allow those deemed a threat to have their firearms seized, despite opposition by most of the state’s sheriffs and threats of legal challenges.
Both chambers of the Democratic-controlled General Assembly approved the measure, sending it to the desk of Governor Jared Polis, also a Democrat, who has indicated his support for the measure.
=====================================
If signed into law as expected, CO becomes the 15th state to adopt what are known as Extreme Risk Protection Orders. Legal challenges to this new law are expected.
