DENVER (AP) The head of the National Rifle Association was in Denver Thursday and met with Colorado officials about gun control.

Gov. John Hickenlooper and Senate President John Morse are among those who David Keene was scheduled to meet with.

Hickenlooper favors expanded background checks while Morse has proposed a new liability law to make weapons producers legally liable for damage caused by their guns.

Keene has said the NRA is generally supportive of stronger background checks, but Keene adds that gun control proposals such as an assault weapons ban and magazine limits are ``feel-good'' measures that he says ``won't do any good.''

The criminal element isn't going to give up their weapons, so all these laws the dems want are aimed at law abiding citizens.
