The Brady Campaign along with its Million Mom March and Brady Chapters, law enforcement, state and national allies advocate for strong state gun legislation to keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of dangerous people. We advise and counsel advocates, state legislators and statewide elected officials on effective strategies to pass strong gun legislation and defeat attempts to weaken state gun laws.

We offer expert advice on legislative strategy and share best practices from other states. We produce and disseminate our annual Brady State Scorecard that rates each state on the strength of its gun laws.

» Close the Gun Show Loophole S. 35

While Colorado law requires Brady criminal background checks on all gun buyers at gun shows, it still lacks other strong gun laws that prevent illegal gun trafficking, according to the Brady Campaign.  In the organization’s 2009 state scorecards released for all 50 states, Colorado earns just 15 points out of a total of 100.    

“While we are proud to be one of seven states that has closed the gun show loophole, we call upon Congress to pass legislation to close this dangerous loophole at the federal level,” said Eileen McCarron, President of the Colorado Ceasefire Capitol Fund.
