Where can we find the current text of it?
Remember, everybody needs to support the legal challenge with $$$. If Boulder is permitted to enforce this ordnance, then most, if not all, of the liberal majority city councils in the various home rule municipalities (>100 K population and/or town older than 1876) will quickly follow with their own versions.
I keep hearing the, "City of Boulder", will these lib CA laws be imposed on everyone in Boulder county or just the city? I wrote Boulder off as soon as I moved here 10 yrs ago. It was the CA of CO that I was trying to leave behind but I loved the area so I moved near but unfortunately (legislatively speaking) am still in Boulder county. Might be time to move. Some of us just want to be left alone... but that long arm just keeps reaching.
Thankfully Boulder City Council can only make these rules for Boulder City. Not unincorporated Boulder County, or other cities... (Saves some of my family from their stupidity on power as well as guns...)Quote:

The key for us county residents is still being legal to pass through Boulder with our lawfully owned property without issue. I BELIEVE this is still the case.
Is there a recall procedure established for city council members?
They said it couldn't be done to the state legislature weenies, but some of them are gone.
Not that I know of but... there are roughly 108k residents in Boulder of which 85-90k are voting age with a close to 90% turnout rate in most of the city neighborhoods (based on Boulder City voter results from last election). Sam Weaver received the most votes of any council member at 6,700 odd votes, which means 70 some thousand people don’t bother to vote for anyone on the city council. If gun owners turned out in the next election and voted nothing but non incumbents the current city council could easily be voted out in the next two election cycles.Quote:

Attachment 74671
Some highlights:
1. Added recitals clarifying the council’s intent;
2. Added language to exclude rim-fire rifles and ammunition;
3. Added a definition of “pistol grip;”
4. Clarified which pistols are included as assault weapons;
5. Added language referencing shotguns to the definition of assault weapon;
6. Limited the exemption for public safety officers and military to weapons necessary for their duties;
7. Added an exemption for individuals covered by the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act;
8. Deleted an exemption for competitive shooters; Item 3H-Assault Weapons Ban
9. Raised the age for possession of any firearm to 21;
10. Amended the definition of carrying case to include a holster for a pistol;
11. Created a certification system and eliminated a proposed registration system for gun owners to prove that they owned a weapon prior to the effective date of the ban;
12. Allowed for compliance with the assault weapon and large magazine ban by December 31, 2018; and
13. Allowed for compliance with the multi-burst trigger activator ban by thirty days after the effective date.
I hope other 20 year olds like myself tell Boulder to piss off
Predictions:
Compliance level will be ZERO
Lawsuit will be filed about 7 seconds after this becomes law, with a preliminary injunction to prevent its implementation
Lawyers will make a shit ton of money, and the city will spend a shit ton of taxpayer dollars defending the excremental explosion.
If it's overturned, there will be no repercussions for the council members, if not, there will be no repercussions for the council members
Life will go on. If it is upheld, law abiding gun owners will have to make a choice to remain law abiding or not.
Question: anyone know where/how to find old ordinances the city passed and repealed? I tried to search for late 1800s early 1900s discriminatory ordinances but could find nothing. Only 1984? revision on. Almost like all the old info was burried and erased.
Something that old is going to probably be a paper only request that you will have to make directly with the city, doubt they have all of that in searchable electronic form.Quote:

I think the best public strategy going forward is to not talk about the AWB, but on the mag ban, which effectively makes thousands of handgun owners into criminals overnight. Point out that the law is a lie, it isn't going after the guns used at Parkland, it is going after the guns in your house, that you have had for years. It is going after the guns that people carry everyday for self defense. An the real kicker is that by doing nothing, you can become a criminal overnight and be subject to fines and prison time.
Is the possession thing new? You couldn't buy a rifle under 18 and a handgun under 21, but someone could gift you one?
Basically, everyone that has a semi-auto handgun is put in legal jeopardy by this law. It isn't a AWB or a bumpstock ban- it is handgun confiscation. That is the effect.
Where did you find the 3rd reading, I searched the city council site but wouldn't find any updated documents? Just the 2nd hearing video and PDF.Quote:

Guessing there will be a huge run on buying ARs and lowers before it goes into effect just to give the middle finger.
I would expect immediate legal challenges and a long, expensive string of court battles . . . along with zero compliance. Kind of a stupid battle for the city council to wade into given the enforceability and the costs they will incur.
apparently this ban also includes semi-auto .22 rifles. these people done lost their damn minds.

I saw some of their sponsored posts on FB about this wanting people to write in opposing it, buy other than that I didn't hear or see much from them. RMGO was very outspoken on it and wrote to the city council saying they will file a lawsuit if they pass it.Quote:
