Boulder AR-15 Ban

[boxy]

I got an interesting response to my email that I sent to the Boulder City Council

“Hi Dave,

I share your concerns on this ordinance.
If you read the paper this morning, it is stating false information that there were many more supporters of the bill, when in fact, 80 people opposed the bill to only 30 in support of it. It was also not clear, that what we passed just gave us the option to discuss the ordinance being proposed at a later date because it was so late.

My hope, is that if people want this to move forward, they will attempt to get the signatures required to put it on the ballot for people to vote, rather than Council making the decisions.
Thank you for being involved. You are always welcome to email Council at Council@bouldercolorado.gov as well.

Kind regards,
Mirabai Nagle
Boulder City Council “

Ms. Nagle also responded favorably to my email. Even if she is an anti, I think she realizes things are not as simple as they appear.

Yeah, I get the feeling that a couple of the members know they are overstepping and are starting to feel the pressure and are looking for a way to get out of the jam they created and still somehow save face. There are a number of prominent business people and residents that are very much against this and have not come out publicly for fear of public backlash. I have a feeling some people are putting on pressure in other ways. Boulder might be the laughing stock of the country but there are a lot of closet liberal gun nuts here.

And yes, the vote last night just allows them to continue the discussion.

one thing they have to ponder is that the city has 85000 voting age residents and the turn out in the last election was something in the high 80% range and the most votes any council member got was a little over 5000, they do not represent the people here in any way.

Boulder, CO; 26 square miles surrounded by reality.

No disrespect, and I realize that phrase is merely parroting something that has been said for nearly a century about almost every university town in the country. However, I'll step up and be the bearer of sad news: the recent gun control push in Boulder, including last night, was years after many of us stood at the capitol, wrote countless letters and made untold numbers of phone calls trying to prevent the statewide gun control laws that were enacted in 2013. If the rest of CO resembled the laws in Wyoming/South Carolina/et al, I'd grant you some validity to a phrase that is as worn out as "sorry your gal lost", but the "reality" is that Colorado laws aren't trending toward the idealistic freedom-loving West that many may have once known. This state is rapidly becoming California 2.0 and while I'm not happy about that, that, is the reality.

I'm trying to do what I can on my end, but pushing an incoming tide is omminous.

Quoted for truth.

Serious question: what State has reversed such a trend as this, given the same legislative makeup as CO and travelled as far down the road to tyranny as we have travelled?

Wisconsin has moved right in terms of gun laws quite a bit from when I moved away 20 years ago.

There are a couple states that have passed legislation that states that any additional federal firearms laws would be null and void. I think (throwing from the hip after a couple Rios margs) maybe Missouri, Wyoming and Montana? South Craolina seems to be in the same realm to me.

I thought Texas did as well?

None. The parasitic mass (known as californians) that has moved across the country destroying every freedom in it's path. Is destined for a town council seat near you.
