Denver Bump Stock / Binary Trigger / Mag Ban

[Gman]

Giving up freedom for the good intention of safety is never a good idea. The road to ruin is paved with good intentions.

This sounds like yet another reason to just avoid Denver.

[DOC]

So which one is it?

I would say its the former since the latter can't be proven. It just feels good.

Possibly the entire country.

I have been talking with the guy pushing for this law. And he has all but said its for political gain only. I am going to the shitty counsel meeting on Monday to demand he explain how this bumpstock ban or magazine limit is going to save any lives. He can't. All he told me is "saving lives is most important."

There is a real hatred on the left for gun owners. I’ve been told to just move out of town. This is all part of a, for a lack of a better term, “redneck cleansing “.

Please try to be civil at the meeting. I think part of this is they try to bait us into acting out. Being rational and fact based gaines us the upper hand. Elections are for when we need to pull out all stops. There are number of people on the council that are at least against the magazine change. The key is to show that this law doesn’t affect “gun nuts“ but that they rather affect regular every day citizens like their next-door neighbors.

This isn’t about gun control. Because the state level is already set. It is about putting tens of thousands of residence in legal peril for 2 9mm rounds in the most popular magazines for the most popular gun’s.

Elections are for when things are won or lost. These meetings are for limiting the damage.

I think the most important thing is just showing up. Number of people there will be more influential than probably anything that can be said. Unfortunately I have to be out of town on a business trip but I can’t move.

I am always nice.

I wonder where Colorado figures in this: http://thehill.com/opinion/finance/3...low-tax-states

Also, do those people flee Dem policies and then vote Dem?

I don't know if this is just how these legislative calendars run, but it is interesting that these are happening right when all the gun guys are busy with SHOT SHOW stuff. I definitely have noticed that the other side is getting more tuned in. Most of their silliness used to be driven by ignorance. I think they have learned and are lot more intentionally obtuse. No more 'clips' and 'thingy that goes up' comments. DEgette was the last one to screw up basic gun knowledge on magazines being reloadable.

Yes, the legislative session in Colorado (meaning the time they meet, make and pass laws) is 120 days for the regular session. Special session can be called, but for the most part it's 120 days.

Yes . . . yes, they do.
