Boulder AR-15 Ban

[FromMyColdDeadHand]

What about mags?

I don't live there, I don't have 'skin' in the game, I don't know who is negotiating and how much power they have.

I say that you support getting as much saved as you can with the minimum number of votes. That might not be popular among some. I understand the no-not anything position, because as soon as you make this deal, they will be back.

They always will be back, but I'd rather have something than nothing.

To me, the things in order you want to avoid are

Out-right ban
Registration
Mag limits

I don't know where the whole AWB thing will end up at after SCOTUS decides. Rational readers of precedent and logic would say that AWBs would be struck down, probably with the court we have- yes if Kennedy or a lib is replaced. If AWBs stand, we might be begging for a baby NFA or CCW type 'license' to keep our stuff.

I think that things like this are elitist and a bit classist when it comes to mandating resources to keep our basic rights. But that is reality. We have had too many sh!t heads act out with guns- and blame and rationale can be laid in a lot of places outside of gun ownership- but we live in democracies at the local level. If their push to do 'something' can be confined to do the least amount of damage- all the better.

If you can leave the state mag level BS and have the deal above- that would be an improvement over the current BS.

BTW- the moratorium is a dead fish offer- it kind of stinks. You can't bind future council decisions, as far as I understand. You can put it in the law, but it would be like saying that no one can sue to try to get this overturned.

Especially if it leaves mags out of it, it is this is like being molested under your clothes versus raped in the other version. If it pushes people to get their CCW, mores the better.

Be wary of people outside of Boulder that might trash the deal. Really easy to do when your crap isn't on the line.

Wasn't that mass murderer in CA a cop? (not to rag on cops), but I still haven't found a mass shooter or murderer that was an NRA member.
