It's interesting that the article states that "The new language changes the magazine capacity to 15 rounds instead of 21+, putting city law in line with state law" while failing to mention that the state law grandfathered ownership of >15 round magazines and the city law does not.

If Denver city/county passed a law now outlawing >21" televisions (after all, nobody needs a tv bigger than 21") how many people do you think would be willing to turn in without compensation or destroy their legally acquired tv's to be in compliance with the new law?

Someone should turn in a 2x4, a package of rubber bands, a shoelace, and a fake hand. (If the ban passes or has passed or whatever, I don't keep to close an eye on Denver)

Then turn around and sue them for seizure without compensation under 42 U.S.C. §1983 which guarantees attorney fees.

ETA: The idea of the City of Denver having to pony up something like $150,000 in attorney fees over a measly 2x4 and a package of rubber bands is particularly amusing in my imagination.

Perhaps we can do this at the next gun buy back in Denver?

We can sit over tea and build these out of Popsicle sticks.

I keep hearing about these mythical gun buybacks, I've got a Model 38 with a cracked frame that I cannot wait to turn in for beer money.

Right on!

Do BB guns count for these buy-backs? I have a a few worthless ones that are literally in my crawl space...been there for a decade or more.

I suppose I could play dumb and say they are .22.

You could play truth and say they are .17.

LOL I could bring in one of the rifles and and tell them it has a "high capacity" magazine since I can pour in like a 100 bbs. Maybe I'll get even more beer money.

Since their definition would also apply to thumbs, belt loops and suspenders someone should walk in, advise they've used their belt loop as a "bump stock" as defined by the law- take their pants off, then ask "y'all want my thumbs, too?"

[Irving]

Someone walking into a police station with a bag of thumbs might not be on his way with beer money as quickly as he'd like.
