Boulder AR-15 Ban

[boxy]

Latest news from a council member that I ran into last night out on the town is that Carr was trying to use the California definition of pistol grip which is defines a pistol grip as a grip that lowers more than some measured distance from the centerline of the bore or something like that so in many instances regular stocked rifles would be considered to have pistol grips. This member was not on board with that and has been doing some research and has acknowledge that Australia never really had any gun crime before their ban and it hasn't changed much since. This member has been doing a lot of research and is now moving away from the ban as written and is pushing towards a ban on bump stocks and trigger rate devices only and sending any kind of a ban to vote as a ballot initiative where it will likely die.

This sounds like pretty good news. Are the other council members getting cold feet as well?

Looks like the thorsden stocks are going to become popular in Boulder

I did get one response so far. My email was implying that the decision was made and we are just going through the formalities.

Hello Mike,

Let me be very clear. We DID NOT pass the ban, I would not have voted for it if that had been the case. The news paper was not clear, but I want you to know, the only reason Council voted to approve the first reading was so we could discuss the ban at a future date. The public comment ended at 11:15 and Council thought it best to have this discussion when our brains were fresh.
I am hoping this proposal will instead get put on a ballot measure for people to vote on, rather than Council choosing it for the people.

Best,
Mirabai Nagle
Boulder City Council

If this is the case. Sounds like they're hoping the same NEVER TRUMP / RESIST people come out in force to vote D, they get enough Yes votes for a ban. This way they can say "the People of Boulder Voted" for the ban. .

Dudley has an interesting perspective.

Saying that if Boulder is allowed to claim home rule exemption, then pro-gun cities can turn around and do the same with regards to the magazine ban.

Not Dudleys idea.. Dudley showed up to get his name on the list tonspeak and wasn't anywhere to be seen when his name was called.

There is no support for this in Boulder, if this goes to ballot it is dead. This is a face saving move for the council.

Maybe a few of the Moms Who Demand Hot Action will support it...

Half of the Moms that showed up weren't even from Boulder as far as I could tell. I think certain members of the council have realized they have gotten themselves in over their heads and are now looking for a way out. There are at least two that we know of that are openly telling people they think it should go to ballot. Their inboxes are being blown up and they know their emails along with the speakers at the meeting the other night are heavily against this. Everyone needs to keep the pressure on.

Who would have thought Boulder is the one that loves with country and Denver is the sell out politicians?
