Boulder AR-15 Ban

[CoGirl303]

they want to ban something that has never had any negative effect on their city?

I dont even think an AR-15 has been used in a mass shooting in Boulder, let alone any shooting.

AR 15s are rarely used in any type of criminal episode. They just gain fame in recent active shooters

Supressors as well by the look of it.

Maybe I should get into the AK platform more

There is an AR-57 in an evidence locker, some where.

I'm not cool enough to up my game that far...plus breaking into evidence lockers I believe is frowned upon or borderline illegal

Given the documented supremacy of the state preemption clause over cities not named Denver, I am not even sure what they are trying to accomplish other than some more progressive verbal masterbation.

Also, Denver's ban is really just a mag ban. A semi rifle only becomes a scary assault rifle if a 15+ magazine is inserted (and maybe possessed at the same time)

Added Grano, "We believe that it's constitutionally defensible to have an assault weapons ban. Denver has had one for a long time. Coupling it with high-capacity magazine bans is important ... and bump stock bans are being considered in municipalities across the country as well, because, of course, they can convert (non-assault) weapons into assault weapons."

Ok, so this paragraph is problematic because it's inherently contradictory.

First, she posits they can ban "assault weapons", which is an undefined and nebulous term. But then she states that bump stocks convert non-"assault weapons" into "assault weapons".

My questions are:

what is an "assault weapon" in Grano's mind, and how does she classify them as such?
what weapon make and model which is a non-"assault weapon" accepts bump stocks?
why are the non-"assault weapons" classified as such?
do "assault weapons" without bump stocks get more.. assaulty, if they are fitted with a bump stock?

The logic in her statement simply doesn't follow reality. It's like in her mind, there are assault weapons by birth and assault weapons by reassignment surgery, but without removing the dangly bits which clue everyone in that they are not, in fact, "assault weapons"? Great, now I gotta think up a female Thai name for my carbine.

Is it possible to defend oneself with an "assault weapon"?
