DENVER - The Department of Justice's inspector general has ordered the FBI to audit some state gun background checks, after an inquiry from five members of Colorado's congressional delegation.
U.S. representatives, both Democrats and a Republican, voiced their concerns after a perceived school threat forced metro Denver schools to cancel classes for about half a million students in April 2019.

LAPORTE, Colo. (CBS4) – It isn’t easy getting the attention of a U.S. representative, but Congressman Joe Neguse says when he read letters from students at Cache La Poudre Middle School in Laporte, he was compelled to respond in person.
“Hearing you all make the case really inspired me,” Neguse told the students at an assembly Tuesday.
They wrote the letters as part of an assignment, but could have chosen any issue. Most of the 100 letters asked for help for classmates with disabilities.

Rep. Joe Neguse will deliver a State of the District address at a Boulder town hall on Thursday to update his 2nd Congressional District constituents on what he’s accomplished in Congress.

Andrew Woen, a junior at Lafayette’s Peak to Peak Charter School, started working on a recycling app as a response to his fear of climate change.

BROOMFIELD, Colo. (CBS4) – A Broomfield fourth grader could soon have a federal law named after her. Rep. Joe Neguse introduced “Ally’s Act” after receiving a letter from Ally Tumblin.
“Please help me advocate for hearing better by mandating hearing devices coverage,” the 10-year-old wrote.
Those watching Friday morning’s impeachment hearing in the 41-member House Judiciary Committee might have noticed a plastic water bottle at every representative’s seat.
To Colorado’s Joe Neguse, that represents a very obvious target in the much larger battle to address climate change.
