What's in Colorado's Proposed Gun Control Law?

Looks like a whole bunch of stuff disconnected with the history of the state. Some provisions include:
- House Bill 1224 makes it a crime to have a magazine that holds more than 15 rounds. Lawmakers who voted no are concerned that the bill would not reduce violence and will hurt a Colorado manufacturer of magazines.
- House Bill 1228 would revive fee payments for gun purchasers who need background checks. The bill has already won House approval.
- House Bill 1229 would add a background-check requirement for many guns sold in private transactions. It's also already won House approval.
- Senate Bill 195 would require people seeking concealed carry permits to take gun training courses in person. People can currently take online courses. The bill faces a final Senate vote this week before heading to the House.
- Senate Bill 197 would require courts to order anyone subject to a domestic violence protection order or convicted of domestic violence to relinquish their guns within 24 hours. A judge could extend that to 72 hours. The bill will go to the House if given approval in the Senate.
