>>New charges include possession of unlawful magazines in the commission of a crime.
I saw this on KOAA (who has become very anti-gun in the last couple of years*) and it took me by surprise... I never heard of such a law, does anyone have a pointer to the CRS, or is this some local Boulder law?

* I was actually shocked (I guess I shouldn't have bene) when their "360 look" at firearms and self-defense (a year or so ago) never bothered to interview anyone who had actually used a firearm in self defense.
So much for complete, 360 coverage.

I'm guessing this is what the DA is using:
"(c) Any person who violates this subsection (1) commits a class 6 felony if the person possessed a large-capacity magazine during the commission of a felony or any crime of violence, as defined in section 18-1.3-406 ."

Written two years ago but worth a read is this excellent article/opinion piece about the media culpability in promoting school and other mass shootings, and the evolution in the way the media covers such events.

Opinion: How the media ? including me ? unwittingly helped create a Columbine narrative that has inspired murderers ever since
But the mythology around killers no longer needs press coverage to spread
