DENVER (AP)- According to an anonymous state government employee in Denver, Governor John Hickenlooper will sigh gun control measures Wednesday.

The measures pose limits on ammunition magazines and expand background checks for firearms.

The signings would be a victory for Democrats in the debate over gun control.

The proposals were Democratic centerpieces in the party's package of gun legislation aimed at addressing mass shootings at a suburban Denver movie theater and Connecticut elementary school last year.

The bills would become Effective July 1.

Again, the democrats show their lack of ability to legislate using common sense. Nothing new here.

He needs to be signing his termination papers, it's time to vote him and his buddies out! These liberal loons have destroyed this state.

Too bad he wasn't signing a resignation letter. It will take decades to undo the damage this hack has done to this state.
