Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
The real problem is it's all theater. In each case, the decision is over and done with long before these public meetings, and this is just so they claim it's democracy. You could have Abraham Lincoln or Winston Churchill arguing for our side and it wouldn't change anything.Originally Posted by Singlestack
I will say, while I figured it was foregone that it'd be passed (both on this first reading and eventually when finalized), I had thought, based on one member's questioning, that it might not be unanimous, but guess I was wrong.
Who was that? Sam Weaver?
The best description I've ever heard for Boulder - "Boulder is 180,000 people, surrounded by reality."
Liberals never met a slippery slope they didn't grease.

I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

Until the same thing happens in your local city council next month.
After watching 3 hours of that it was clear it would be unanimous. Despite them being a council this reeks of typical boulder hypocrisy and fascism.
The question is what now?
I Think the boycott is one step that wont fix it, but a problem like this is not going to have a silver bullet. The anti's want to bleed us with the death of a thousand cuts, we need to reciprocate. Boulder already has a negative inertia of funds flowing to longmont, Louisville, and surrounding areas. Play the long game and continue to do everything to defund the city so it once again becomes a more "down to earth hippy haven" it claims its Lilly white rich sheltered grass roots sprang from. The city council clearly has too much of a budget if they are spending time on feel good measures. One curiosity I have on this is the demographic of sports fans that go to CU for various games. Boycott those teams and all associated revenue sources. If boulder offers any "free" services take full advantage of them so the numbers encourage their council to fund those services.
I doubt boulder will ever be pushed to be the all inclusive diverse sanctuary for minorities it touts, excepting of those minorities it feels are PC and photogenic to stand by, but efforts beyond this can be done to make them less relevant and desirable.
Lawsuits are needed but the real message that needs to be controlled is to let other cities know that not at least letting a measure like this go to a popular vote will have us exercising our votes in other capitalistic ways. We are more resolute and less prone to fad. Last nights showing outnumber theirs was great, now we need to show where it counts.
I also liked the orange hats for their orange shirts. adopt any color they like as the message is we really are among you and law abiding and we aren't running away.
Has police chief Testa made any comments?

Testa turned turtle from a few years ago and stated he supports his masters' bidding.
He's exempt. Every one of his officers is exempt. When he and his officers retire, they remain exempt.
running out of boxes here.
