But despite this emphatic epitaph, Young sees great potential for nullification as a tool to limit federal power.

Another statute requires a date stamp on all magazines produced in the state after 2013 when the law took effect. Senate Bill 52  would repeal both these statues, protecting the gun rights of Colorado residents. On March 19, the Senate State, Veterans, & Mili...
