Boulder AR-15 Ban

[Irving]

The unique thing about Boulder is the bet high gun ownership rate coupled with a population that can absolutely afford to sue the city. Hopefully it works out that way.

Where was the NRA in all of this?

Who knows.. One of their board members lives here so they definitely know about it.

I hope so as well. Easily 80% of the people I have ever met living in Boulder the last 18 years has a gun of some sort. Many of those have the types of guns that are banned with this ordnance. The council went out of their way to ignore the populace and their statements indicate that as well. I believe that once again last night there were 9 people that spoke on the ban 7 of them being against it.

That should be the most current version.

I believe there are still changes that are going to be made to this. The council voted to pass an ordinance that still needed to be amended so basically no one really knows what is all going to be included.

How can you pass something that is not in its final form?
Pure bullshit.

Oh, wait - you have to pass it to see what's in it.

It doesn't matter what the majority say about it. it's all about feels and making sure like other City Council ordinances, makes a political statement.

Planned Parenthood donates more money to political causes than the NRA. The NRA is membership sponsored, PP, they get money from the .gov. Who gets it from You the Taxpayer.

Reading through the text of the third reading seems like it is very similar to Denver's laws. Looks like pistols can have 15 or fewer rounds, but centerfire can have only have 10 or less. Other exceptions for tube and rimfire. I am no lawyer though so just my interpretation.

It is a little confusing though, can a non-Boulder resident drive through Boulder with an AR in their car and in a case without any issues, or is that now illegal?

Part e, Does this mean any weapon?

The laws only apply to Boulder residents so feel free to drive here and shoot up a bunch of people, it's all good as long as someone from Boulder doesn't do it.

I guess those in Boulder can throw on the thorsden stock and make their ASSAULT rifles non-scary and unable to shoot thirty caliber magazine clips in half a second.

On another note, did the 21 age limit to possess any firearm pass as well? Any grandfathering?
