Two Democratic senators who supported the gun laws were recalled in September, and a third faces a possible recall vote during the legislative session. The laws include expanded background checks and a limit on ammunition magazines.

“The bills that were signed into law are reasonable and moderate,” said Jane Dougherty, a suburban Denver woman whose sister was killed in the Sandy Hook elementary school shootings. She spoke at a Monday rally on the Capitol steps.

“Of course, this is going to come up,” said Victor Head, a Pueblo gun-rights supporter who orchestrated the campaign to unseat former Sen. Angela Giron.

Head spends his weekends in the Denver suburbs of Arvada and Westminster, where gun-rights supporters are seeking signatures to force a recall election for Democratic Sen. Evie Hudak.

Hudak opponents have until Dec. 3 to collect about 19,000 signatures. If they succeed, and Hudak doesn’t resign, Colorado’s Democratic governor could be forced to order an unprecedented election of a sitting lawmaker while the Legislature is in session.

If Hudak loses to a Republican, the GOP would take control of the state Senate. Even if Democrats hold on to the seat, gun control is certain to bring election-year fireworks.

“I don’t have real high hopes that the whole package will get repealed, but we’re going to have more debate on it,” Head said.

Gun-control supporters vow they’ll be back at the Capitol in January, too.

“I’m not backing down. There’s just too much at stake,” said Tom Sullivan, whose son Alex was among 12 people killed last year in the Aurora movie theater shootings.

The new gun-control laws include required in-person training for concealed permits and allowing judges to remove guns from possession of those suspected of domestic violence.
