(The Center Square) – A Colorado gun group delivered a petition Thursday morning to Gov. Jared Polis urging him to veto a controversial gun control bill that the legislature recently passed.

Senate Bill 25-003 was originally an outright ban on the sale or purchase of most semi-automatic rifles or shotguns that take detachable magazines, but was amended to allow for purchases if an individual secures a “firearms safety course eligibility card” from their sheriff department and completes a qualifying firearm education course.
