Colorado gun checks surge in 2013, but only 1.8 percent are rejected - The Denver Post:"While Colorado politicians went head-to-head under the gold dome in 2013 over gun-control legislation, firearms dealers made money hand over fist.
More people tried to buy a gun in 2013 than in any year in the state's history.
Nearly 400,000 criminal background checks were processed by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation for would-be gun purchasers — or 16 percent more than in 2012, itself a record-breaking year.
Despite a new law that expanded background checks to include all gun sales, 2013 data show that only 1.9 percent of checks were denied.
The denial rate is lower than it was in 2012, prior to the new law.
In 2012, 2.1 percent of sales netted denials."
