Ultra Liberal Boulder City Ban On "Assault" Weapons

[easy rider]

Not surprising, I hope the NRA or other organizations step up to help the Boulder Rifle Club.

Too dam difficult to open the link but I'm sure you are correct: "Not surprising"

Ever notice they never call a Ruger Mini 14 an assault weapon? Not a Remington 740, or a plain old 10/22 either.

It's strange as hell that Obama sent sales flying. Millions and Millions of firearms with the ammo to go with it. People have been loading up since Bill Clinton.

The ban comes at a good time. Everybody that wanted one already has a few. Why start the campaign now is a mystery. Cart before the horse. Silly communist. Vote socialist.

Unleash the lawyers.

We need one of these rifle bans to make it to the Supreme Court, where hopefully it will get smacked down 5-4 and set a precedent.

Lawsuit is underway:

This state law will be a tough one to overcome:
Colorado Revised Statutes § 29-11.7-103:
A local government may not enact an ordinance, regulation, or other law that prohibits the sale, purchase, or possession of a firearm that a person may lawfully sell, purchase, or possess under state or federal law.

So either the city ordnance goes, or state law is changed.

Well it’s not like I’m in Boulder, but I don’t have one yet. Nor do my almost grown kiddos.

"Owners of assault weapons will be grandfathered in, but they must get a certificate from the city proving ownership before the end of the year".

Oh look at that. Another way to make money off infringement. No way.

It all leads to Australian style bans unless people gather together and remove these people from office.

From the article: "Owners of assault weapons will be grandfathered in, but they must get a certificate from the city proving ownership before the end of the year."

This alone is against the Colorado constitution- but when does that stop a liberal.

The city's form of registration, they'll know where to go when they decide to take them away.

Denver has an assault weapon ban that has survived court challenges in spite of the preemption law.

Denver has an assault weapon ban that has survived court challenges in spite of the preemption law.

It's way past the point where any given law can be ignored with the blessing of liberal lawyers wearing black robes.

Wonder if they will ever ban anti depressants lol

Denver's "home rule" ordinance was created before the law disallowing cities from overriding state law regarding firearm legislation.

From Kevin Lundberg:

Boulder Gun Law

The People's Republic of Boulder has proven, once again, that their respect for the laws of the State of Colorado is slim to non-existent. Their banning what they call "assault weapons" is a direct violation of what was once called SB03-25, and is now called CRS 29-11.7-103:

"A local government may not enact an ordinance, regulation, or other law that prohibits the sale, purchase, or possession of a firearm that a person may lawfully sell, purchase, of possess under state or federal law."

This law is extremely clear, no local government can override state law when it comes to gun control regulations. Their argument that a home-rule city is exempt from this law is also without legal merit, as CRS 29-11.7-101 (2) (a) declares that the "...regulation of firearms is a matter of statewide concern..." and, in CRS 29-11.7-101 (1) (f) it includes in it's list of local governments a "city and county," which at the time of this legislation meant the home-rule jurisdiction called Denver. Home-rule jurisdictions are specifically mentioned because it applies to home-rule jurisdictions.
Finally, I was in the legislature when this bill passed, I voted for the bill, I was a co-sponsor of the bill, I know we passed SB03-25 precisely because we knew there would be a time when a city like Boulder would seek to defy state laws concerning the use and possession of firearms.

If the people of Boulder want to ban "assault weapons" they need to seek the legal path, through the legislature. As it is, the city of Boulder has become the law breaker.
