DENVER — Too many times, cities in Colorado have become synonymous with tragedy. From Littleton to Aurora, Boulder to Colorado Springs, the state has seen one mass shooting after another over the years.
Then on Saturday, five people were killed and 19 others were injured at a mass shooting inside Club Q. Rep. Tom Sullivan, the senator-elect for District 27, has helped spearhead those efforts in the state capitol after losing his son, Alex, in the Aurora theater shooting. The group’s goal is to bring legitimacy to the cause, as other caucuses have done with other causes in the past. They also want to better streamline the efforts of various lawmakers and foster collaboration.
An analysis by the Associated Press found that Colorado has one of the lowest rates of using the law, despite widespread gun ownership and a string of high-profile mass shootings. The lower use of the law could be attributed to the many Colorado counties that have come out in opposition to it and declared themselves as"Second Amendment sanctuary cities."
