Boulder AR-15 Ban

[Irving]

Haven't read the law, but the competition exemption could easily be turned into a requirement to store on site of the range. I think other countries do that, which of course will be pointed to as an example.

And the typically smug bravado of the left:

Grano, the councilwoman who proposed this ban in the first place, issued a response: "Thank you for communicating this threat. I am sure that suing a home rule city for enacting common sense legislation that the majority of Americans support and that has been upheld elsewhere in the state and nation, at the same time as our children are being mauled down in their schools by assault weapons, will provide excellent publicity for your organization."

F rmgo and fudley, but I would love to see them decimate City of Boulder in a lawsuit and get other existing laws revoked, as well.

I agree. Again if this moves forward other cities will do the same thing as Boulder.

OK legal eagles- Would such a law be enforceable on non-Boulder residents who are passing through town?

Not if you're a competitive shooter, apparently.

Other countries don't have a BOR, Constitution or Second Amendment.

Didn't stop anyone from starting sentences with "but in Australia..."

City Council meeting is Thursday at 6:00, I plan on being there.

A wiser person would shut it down with Yes BUT in America. However the left always goes to the alinsky playbook with... You're Deflecting

I'll be there. Stay cool and represent yourself well, no matter how maddening some of this crap is.

Here are some details from a 3/31 Boulder Daily Camera article.

Boulder seeks to
1) ban possession of assault weapons not already owned by residents,
2) require registration with Boulder Police Department for existing owners of assault weapons,
3) ban outright the possession of magazines with greater than 10-round capacity, and
4) ban outright the possession of bump stocks.

"How does the proposed law define "assault weapons"? As City Attorney Tom Carr has drafted it, "assault weapons" are defined as:
• All semiautomatic rifles that have the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and that have any of the following characteristics: a pistol grip or thumbhole stock; a folding or telescoping stock; or any protruding grip or other device to allow the weapon to be stabilized with the non-trigger hand.
• All semi-automatic center-fire pistols that have any of the following characteristics: the capacity to accept a magazine other than in the pistol grip or any device to allow the weapon to be stabilized with the non-trigger hand.
• Any firearm which has been modified to be operable as an assault weapon as defined by the city, plus any part or combination or parts designed to convert a firearm into an assault weapon"

"(Boulder City Attorney) Carr has recommended exemptions for weapons owned by police, federal officers, military personnel; holders of federal firearms licenses, stamps or permits; and competitive shooters who are members of organized groups that gather for the purpose of competition."
