"'Democrats introduced an assault weapons ban at the Colorado statehouse late Friday, a move which is sure to inflame the legislature and potential push away some in the party who have expressed reservations about whether the state could enforce such a ban...At the center of the debate is the question of what constitutes an assault weapon."

CO politically is what is called a 'democratic triffecta', dems control both houses in legislature and governor's office. So the bill could pass...maybe.
"Sure, they still have control, but a lot of those Democrats represent districts where they’ll have to fight to retain office. That fight becomes harder if people have a reason to oppose them, obviously."
Hard to keep track of all of them but my count of banned or working to ban semi-auto rifles is CA, WA, OR, NJ, WI, NY, CT, DL, HI, IL, MD, MA, NY.
