Two gun-control bills passed by Colorado’s Legislature were sent to Gov. Jared Polis who is planning to sign them into law.

One bill, known as Senate Bill 78, would require state residents to report a lost or stolen firearm within five days of realizing it went missing. If not, owners would be punished via a $25 fine and a subsequent offense would be a Class 3 misdemeanor which would require jail time.
