I have a feeling that'll be way too late. I'm sure there'll be plenty of supporters of the law lining up hours in advance to fill it up completely with their drivel.

Edit: Also, the attorney's pretty much admitted this is to target law-abiding citizens.

"If you look at most of the mass shootings, the guns were purchased legally. I see this as an ordinance that throws in one more barrier to someone who's contemplating such a horrible act."

You note that they haven't deviated from using the term "Assault Weapon". If you're going to speak, you need to keep saying "All semiautomatifc rifles and handguns, the firearm that most commonly used for self-defense" over and over.

Boulder codes are filled with all sorts of outdated old crap.
