The passage of gun control measures during this year’s legislative session – including limiting the size of high capacity magazines – has put four Democratic lawmakers in the crosshairs for recall proceedings.

Colorado lawmakers have tackled several high-profile items during this year’s session. Two of the more notable pieces of legislation are in the spotlight this week.

Last December Governor Hickenlooper made a plea for more money and additional resources to strengthen mental health services in Colorado following the shootings in Newtown, Connecticut.

The only thing Colorado lawmakers are required to do within their annual 120 day session is approve a budget. And despite some sharp disagreements between Democrats and Republicans last week, work on what’s known as the ‘long bill’ is largely over.

Governor John Hickenlooper says he will sign a Democratic backed gun bill limiting ammunition magazines to just15 rounds.
