Colorado Democrats ’ yearslong campaign to ban semiautomatic firearms has been framed by the mass killings at Columbine High School in 1999 , the movie theater in Aurora , Colorado , in 2012 and the LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado Springs in 2022 .

Proponents argued that allowing only permanently attached magazines would limit the damage a would-be shooter could cause by forcing them to reload bullet-by-bullet.

The bill was further watered down last week , allowing people to purchase guns with detachable magazines if they pass a background check.
