The Colorado Senate is scheduled today to take a preliminary vote on Senate Bill 3, the measure that ban the manufacture and sale of certain semiautomatic rifles, shotguns and pistols.

THREAD: About three weeks ago when we set out to investigate coronavirus-related deaths at Colorado nursing homes/senior care centers we weren't sure what we would find.
But we quickly realized there was something really bad happening...
The state only started releasing information about where outbreaks were happening on March 28 after an open records request from @DenverPost. But the state didn't provide details about infections and deaths.
