Opinion: Backing assault weapon ban should be litmus test in vote for Denver mayor

It wasn’t. In fact, it was an idea that put the entire school population at risk.How eerie that this incompetence reared its ugly head on the two-year anniversary of the Boulder King Soopers shooting.

Instead, they shifted the responsibility to local governments. After all, the NRA doesn’t want assault weapons banned. So, let someo...
