A bill in the Colorado Senate seeks to impose restrictions on semiautomatic firearms while also revising how labor unions handle dues. Supporters say the gun control measures are necessary for public safety, and changes to union dues aim to increase transparency. Opponents argue that the bill unfairly limits gun rights and weakens labor unions by making it harder to collect funds. The bill’s future remains uncertain as lawmakers weigh its potential impact. If passed, it could set new precedents for both gun regulations and union funding in the state.
