US gun debateViewpoints: US gun laws
The US state of Colorado has tightened its gun laws, to impose limits on the size of ammunition magazines and expand background checks for gun buyers.
It comes exactly eight months after a massacre at a cinema in Aurora, Colorado, that left 12 people dead.
Relatives of the victims saw Governor John Hickenlooper sign the bills.
It makes Colorado the second state after New York to pass gun control measures since 26 people were shot dead at a school in Connecticut in December.
Under the new law, online gun sales and private transactions will be subject to background checks.
Ammunition magazines with more than 15 rounds will be banned in the state. The bills take effect in July.
