Michael Bennet: “Governor Polis signed three common sense gun violence…”

“After the tragedy in Aurora, we strengthened background checks in my state. In the wake of the shooting at Club Q, we raised the age to purchase a firearm from 18 to 21. And this year, Governor Polis signed three common sense gun violence prevention laws restricting the sale of certain semi automatic firearms, requiring retailers to keep ammunition locked and setting age limits for gun shows. Colorado is making progress, but states can't do it alone. We can't do it alone in Colorado, a western state that has a majority of unaffiliated voters in our purple state that takes pride in our hunters and our anglers and in our ranchers.” (13:06–13:24)
