Senate Republicans tackled two gun bills Monday morning. One vote gave preliminary approval to a repeal of the state’s 15-round limit on ammunition magazines. The other would provide training for teachers authorized to carry a gun at school.

The full chamber will take an official roll call vote on Senate Bill 7 in the next few days. If the bill passes then, it would go to the Democrat-led House. House Democrats have killed the repeal ban in each of the last two sessions.

Gun bills usually are the subject of hot partisan debate, but not this time. Neither side debated the actual bill before the voice vote.

On a failed amendment, Sen. Rhonda Fields, a Democrat from Aurora, talked about mass shootings involving high-capacity magazines, including the Aurora theater shooting and Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., in 2012, as well as Columbine High School in Jefferson County in 1999.

She noted Colorado has had no mass shootings since Democrats passed a 15-round magazine limit in 2013.

“You don’t need a hundred rounds in a gun to hunt,” she said.

Magpul Industries, which manufactures ammunition magazines, left Colorado for Wyoming in protest of the limit. In December the company received an exclusive military contract that will be a jobs and taxes boon for its new home state.

The company has increased its workforce from about 200 in Erie to 380 at its new facilities in Cheyenne.

Another gun bill, Senate Bill 5 to set up gun-training standards for teachers, passed the chamber on an 18-17 party-line vote. It heads to the Democrat-controlled House, where it will likely die in committee.

Democrats say the bill is an invitation to violence, if a gun should fall into the wrong hands. Republicans, however, say no teacher or school district would be required to participate.

Currently, school staff can be designated to assist with security, including carrying a concealed weapon. The bill would set up training standards overseen by county sheriffs for those teachers and staff.
