Boulder AR-15 Ban

[Skip]

Denver was given a pass by the courts as well as Vail has been able to maintain an assault weapons ban. They are basing their conclusions on this. Yes, what they are proposing goes against state law, it will be interesting to see if the state does anything about it, the State AG has been silent on the issue. I'm guessing they wont and it will come down to private lawsuits.

Each day it becomes more and more obvious there really is no law.

Even if gun control is good policy, how does one obey with the patchwork of contradicting Fed, state, and local laws? I can't think of a single other thing that is more arbitrarily and inconsistently regulated.

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

And 99% of the people who start with that preamble have no idea what they actually did in Australia, how they were able to do it, and what the results actually were. Russia has even stricter laws, I like to point out. New Zealand still allows modern sporting rifles and they've not had a single mass shooting.

Related, apparently Merriam-Webster's decided to change their definition of "assault weapon" as well. http://thefederalist.com/2018/03/31/...land-shooting/

I have to dispute that article. They state that all guns are designed to assault something. My guns are defensive in nature.

Sort of OT, but I like this guy's attitude. Since there are so many (like Boulder) going after gun rights, it's time to stop playing defense and go on the offense.

"If they talk about repealing the Second Amendment, let's push in the opposite direction. The best defense is a good offense so let's talk about repealing the NFA and the Hughes Amendments."

Those idiots always and on purpose conflate purpose with use.

A guns function is to safely and effectively convert potential chemical energy into kinetic energy. Nothing more. What you do with thst function is up to you.

The owner of Bison Tactical in Boulder posed the following question.. If a "Home Rule" city like Denver, Vail or Boulder can ban firearms despite the states pre-emption laws and the state does not step in to stop it then this means that any other home rule city should be able to revoke the states background check law and the magazine limit law...
