Neither have anything to do with the new background check law passed in 2013.
But he never told lawmakers that.
In the six months prior to the law taking effect, 8,960 background checks labeled as private sales were conducted. And the six months before that, 8,126.
"It's alarming that these were presented in such a way in committee to substantiate the Democrats desire to kill this bill," Senate Republican Leader Bill Cadman, of Colorado Springs, said when shown the data in full context. He said he was "extremely concerned that such misleading information would be provided as factually based testimony by the senior law enforcement professional in Colorado."
For all of you blindly following this law, wake up.
