Ban guns in the city of Boulder period?

No, some flavor of "assault weapons" ban, plus bump stocks, crank triggers, etc. The kicker could be an attempt to do a max 7 rd mag limit, like the original NY Safe Act.

I'll be at this meeting, and I plan on speaking. I'm going to draft an email this week, as well.

This violates at least 2 of the Colorado Revised Statutes (no firearms databases/registration, state preemption) and as mentioned above, if unsuccessfully challenged opens the door for municipal legislation statewide.

I really hope some organization has enough resources to sue.

Boulder needs a good kick in the pantsuit.

I'll be there. Stay cool and represent yourself well, no matter how maddening some of this crap is.

Here are some details from a 3/31 Boulder Daily Camera article.

Boulder seeks to
1) ban possession of assault weapons not already owned by residents,
2) require registration with Boulder Police Department for existing owners of assault weapons,
3) ban outright the possession of magazines with greater than 10-round capacity, and
4) ban outright the possession of bump stocks.

"How does the proposed law define "assault weapons"? As City Attorney Tom Carr has drafted it, "assault weapons" are defined as:
• All semiautomatic rifles that have the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and that have any of the following characteristics: a pistol grip or thumbhole stock; a folding or telescoping stock; or any protruding grip or other device to allow the weapon to be stabilized with the non-trigger hand.
• All semi-automatic center-fire pistols that have any of the following characteristics: the capacity to accept a magazine other than in the pistol grip or any device to allow the weapon to be stabilized with the non-trigger hand.
• Any firearm which has been modified to be operable as an assault weapon as defined by the city, plus any part or combination or parts designed to convert a firearm into an assault weapon"

"(Boulder City Attorney) Carr has recommended exemptions for weapons owned by police, federal officers, military personnel; holders of federal firearms licenses, stamps or permits; and competitive shooters who are members of organized groups that gather for the purpose of competition."

Ask them. With an anti-gun police chief how would Boulder plan on handling this item.

Anyone found in violation of that would be first "educated and informed" by police,

Please clarify what they mean by Educated and Informed. Who will be educating them and what will they Inform them of?

I am firmly opposed to this. And if it becomes law, I am firmly opposed to any exemptions for military and police and government officials. What makes them special? Nothing, they are not less dangerous than us normal folk. Likely more dangerous, as these are the people the 2nd ammendment was designed to protect us from.

I retired from the military. I despise these carve-outs, exemptions and exceptions. These idiots in Boulder pull this crap all the time depending on whatever the current “media push” happens to be. These proposals to be discussed are a waste of time and symbolic at best. I’m part of militia now and don’t see a carve-out, exemption or exception. I wonder why not?

Even if you are not a Boulder resident, if you have the time you could attend, to show support and add to the numbers.
