Boulder AR-15 Ban

[def90]

Is there a recall procedure established for city council members?

They said it couldn't be done to the state legislature weenies, but some of them are gone.

Not that I know of but... there are roughly 108k residents in Boulder of which 85-90k are voting age with a close to 90% turnout rate in most of the city neighborhoods (based on Boulder City voter results from last election). Sam Weaver received the most votes of any council member at 6,700 odd votes, which means 70 some thousand people don’t bother to vote for anyone on the city council. If gun owners turned out in the next election and voted nothing but non incumbents the current city council could easily be voted out in the next two election cycles.

Losing campaign cash is second only to losing elections as leverage for these people.

I hope other 20 year olds like myself tell Boulder to piss off

Predictions:

Compliance level will be ZERO

Lawsuit will be filed about 7 seconds after this becomes law, with a preliminary injunction to prevent its implementation

Lawyers will make a shit ton of money, and the city will spend a shit ton of taxpayer dollars defending the excremental explosion.

If it's overturned, there will be no repercussions for the council members, if not, there will be no repercussions for the council members

Life will go on. If it is upheld, law abiding gun owners will have to make a choice to remain law abiding or not.

Question: anyone know where/how to find old ordinances the city passed and repealed? I tried to search for late 1800s early 1900s discriminatory ordinances but could find nothing. Only 1984? revision on. Almost like all the old info was burried and erased.

Something that old is going to probably be a paper only request that you will have to make directly with the city, doubt they have all of that in searchable electronic form.
