And how many were investigated/arrested for trying to make purchase when they were legally not allowed to make said purchase? I'm going to throw the wild guess of..... 0.Quote:

Lastly, anybody shop at Liberty Arms?
His comments:“They make California-compliant models that take 10-round magazines easily,” McClelland said. “Abiding by that law is very easy.”
seems rather herpa derpa. Maybe I'm reading it wrong?
The guy kept calling mags clips, I doubt he knows much.Quote:

Too bad they don't show how many of those 122 "Denies" were later found to be false positives after the denied person followed-up.. I would hazard a pretty educated guess the number would be near zero or at/lower than the same percentage before the laws past.
The things people say publicly may not reflect their actions.Quote:

We need registration!

Sorry to hear that. The beauty of computers. I wonder if CBI rechecks denials, just to make sure it isn't some sort of internal error. Or ever approvals for that matter.Quote:

I prefer FFL's who give PC statement to the media to keep themselves from being made an example of yet sell 30rd magazine "repair kits" vs. those FFL's who talk a big game about 2A rights/F Hickenlooper and then don't sell things like 30rd magazines repair kits. I'll tell you that.Quote:

Just go with Camp Springs, MD in PG county. What would you do if you had been born in a base that was BRAC'd? Those places don't even have zip codes any more.Quote:

I ended up being poorer than I would have been had these new laws not passed. Man I cannot wait until we can get these stupid laws repealed. Also I did the math on the amount of denied people vs the amount of citizens in Colorado. 0.0000235158%. This makes me feel SO much safer, knowing that less than half of a half of a half of a percent of all Coloradans were denied. The people who were denied, were also GOING TO GET A BACKGROUND CHECK. So it is probably safe to assume that they were not criminals, and this is due to some error on the CBI's fault!
