"He suggested that anyone who was struggling to understand the current requirements should meet with a licensed firearms dealer.

"There is this self-registration application on the Department of Justice website, but it may be better to talk to an FFL,” Commander Pilkington said. “Someone who has a license, to talk through whatever these complications are.".

So now the FFL's are the official experts? We have always known that dealers and gun owners know more than politicians and the BATFE, but up till now they were the "defacto" legal experts. I guess this proves that law enforcement and DOJ don't even know what laws and regulation are on the books anymore. Could you imagine this in any other faction of society?

The background checks that a gunshop does are not sufficient to the check the local PD would do.. that says it all.

What? That they do not know what they are talking about? That "feel good" legislation, no mater how poorly written and unenforceable is better than the current laws on the books?

I also like the part about the "demonstration" the opposition had to raise money to fight the new legislation.

They are just outright lying about FFL background checks. Outrageous.

Fuck Boulder

Does this ban someone from driving through Boulder with an AR in their car if they are a resident of another city?

Look at you guys citing law and precedent. That is cute. Where are the votes on SCOCO?

No

Hence the stupidity of it.

And as long as it's in a case and they can't see what it is it doesn't matter. They have admitted that they can't search you for one, it would have to be in plain sight of an officer.

According to a user on Reddit, the BPD is issuing certificates for AWs now.

You have until the end of the year to get weapons certified by the PD before they become illegal. Technically the weapons should have been purchased before June (?) 15th, but they will not ask you for proof of purchase. I’ve also confirmed with a Sargent at the PD that you can certify lowers now and build them up later and still be within the law. The local gun store is no longer selling full builds, but they are selling lowers.

I've been following Caldara v. City of Boulder online, but I haven't been able to get details, just general actions being taken in the case. Does anyone have any updates or inside knowledge?
