(COLORADO) — A new gun and ammunition bill was passed on the State Senate floor on Tuesday, March 25.  HB25-1133 will bump the age requirement to buy ammo to match the age requirement of 21 to buy a gun. The exceptions to this bill are if you have a hunter permit, are in the military, or have a protection order that you can purchase ammo at a gun range at the age of 18. Colorado District 14 State Senator and bill sponsor, Cathy Kipp, said, "[HB25]-1133 is intended to do is to align the requirements for being able to purchase ammunition, with the requirements for being able to purchase a firearm." The bill would also make ammunition buying a non-over-the-counter experience and require that ammunition be either locked up in cases or behind the gun counter. Melissa Flanell, Co-owner of Dragonmans, says, "They just had it [Same bill] on a federal level by, I believe, the Fifth Circuit appeals court, that was found unconstitutional, that you cannot enforce a prohibition on firearms for people under 21." The Senate put amendments on the bill, and it’s now headed back to the House. There, the amendments will need to be approved by the House before landing on the Governor's desk. ...read more read less
