DENVER (AP) -- More gun-control proposals are up for debate in Colorado.
Two state Senate committees plan to begin work Monday on a package of Democratic gun-control measures that have already cleared the House. Those include magazine limits and expanded background checks.
Senators are also taking up two gun-control measures for the first time. One is a controversial measure by Democratic Senate President John Morse to hold gun sellers and owners liable for potential misuse, such as the commission of a crime.
The other new gun-safety measure up for debate is a Democratic proposal to tighten education standards for people seeking permits to carry concealed firearms.
The Senate has set aside extra time and extra rooms for the hearings, which are expected to last late into the night and draw large crowds.
