Boulder AR-15 Ban

...and you'd be wrong. As I mentioned, no guns were present at the April 19th march at the Capitol years ago, BEFORE the media went all rabid anti-gun. Yet the media STILL went out of their way to make it look like a bunch of cammo-clad folks were the only ones at the protest.

Well, despite the press making fun of your guys in camo the impact in the press was not the nearly the same because Colorado became a shall issue state. In the case of guys open carrying this issue just went from being pushed to an open election to being passed behind closed doors in the quickest way possible.

Bullshit.... the council was going to do this either way, regardless of what one "friend" member was telling you.

annnnnnd, wrong again. Two points:

1. Colorado became a shall issue state many, many years after the protest and not from ANYTHING the gun community did. All the letter writing, protests and testifying at the capitol got us absoluetly NOWHERE. For like a decade. Unfortunately the gun community had nothing to do with shall issue.
2. The only reason Colorado went shall issue is because [then] Sheriff John Anderson of El Paso county started issuing a bazillion permits and the statists in Denver decided they needed to get in on the action. And overnight we got shall issue.

What we need is a rouge sheriff to deputize people from all over the state. Give them legal rights to own stuff. Is that possible? I’ll buy a few acres in their county. Hell, make it a range timeshare....

How about this one:

Where's Sheriff Scotty when we need him?

So maybe a reserve officer? Do all reserve officers need to have POST training?

I thought Denver was the only place in Colorado where open carry wasn't allowed?

I know Castle Rock was at one time included in that but they overturned it.

Since when is Boulder disallowing open carry?

Castle Rock was never under a general OC ban. They overturned an OC ban at town properties/public places - parks, buildings, etc.

Some stuff is going down right now, guys. There is an alternate proposal being drafted that may be palatable to all parties involved. Apparently 4 members of the council are on board with this... This has been worked on by the Moms and gun owners. I'm not going to go into fine detail, but most of what it includes is:

-21 AGE LIMIT for Assault Weapon purchase and ownership
-Higher bar for ownership

-CCW

-Club member

-Tax Stamp

-Hunter's ed

-FFL

-Active or retired MIL, LEO, ETC

-Red Flag laws
-Bump stock ban
-Moratorium on additional more restrictive legislation
-Sunset after 20 years
-NO REGISTRATION

I know a lot of you may be in the "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" camp, but if this gets passed we may need to just take a bite of a shit sandwich rather than eat the whole thing.

Thoughts?

I don't like any of that. Is the list for higher bar for ownership mean that one has to satisfy everything on that list, or just one? Either way, not a single item on that list determines that someone isn't a total shitbag.
