Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper will sign gun control measures Wednesday that pose limits on ammunition magazines and expand background checks for firearms. A state government employee with knowledge of the situation confirmed the details to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because a formal announcement has not been made.
Colorado's gun debate has been carefully watched because it's a politically moderate state with a gun-loving frontier history. The new laws would be the first significant gun controls approved this year outside the East Coast.
Republicans reviled both bills and argued the proposals would not prevent more shootings, but hurt law-abiding citizens' exercise of their Second Amendment rights.
The governor also was planning to sign a bill reviving user fees for gun purchasers needing background checks. Colorado charged $10 background-check fees more than a decade ago, but the fees were dropped. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation currently picks up the tab checking prospective gun owners.
A shame.

Seems like a good law to me and a common sense law, but i know im gonna get attacked for saying that from the right. Oh well
I am sure they will complain, but having background checks, and making the purchaser pay for them is not a terrible thing.

Well, I don't oppose background checks. That's pretty much a no-brainer from my standpoint. Those who are knowledgeable about guns say that limiting the size of magazines doesn't really effect the fire power of a skilled individual; so I'd imagine there's probably millions of those people on the right you mention who are laughing their asses off.
if I were a fascist, I would really like the direction we are heading in as a country... all the good , common sense, laws are great for fascists.
if i were a gun control supporter, I would be outraged that Colorado allows for 5 more bullets per magazine than California..why that's 50% more dead children per magazine!.. unacceptable!!
besides, I think 8.675309 bullets per magazine is a much better completely arbitrary number than 15.. and Tommy Tutone agrees.
I personally think magazine capacity should be limited to pi myself, but I'm not as much of a gun nut as you are.
yes!...what's better than having people proving their innocence before being allowed to exercise constitutional rights?... making them pay for it too!
What part of the second amendment said that you should get free guns and never have any regulation? Oh yeah, no part of it. But thanks for proving me right.
Straw man
Shall not be infringed
So how is that militia treating you? Oh, you are not in one? Then you don't have a right to a gun along a strict translation. It is a good idea not to torpedo your own arguments like you just did.

We are all in a militia, hence the need to be armed.
A militia (pron.: /mɨˈlɪʃə/),[1] generally refers to an army or other fighting force that is composed of non-professional fighters; citizens of a nation or subjects of a state or government that can be called upon to enter a combat situation, as opposed to a professional force of regular soldiers or, historically, members of the fighting nobility.
