    Wow! This Jill Grano is a real piece of work. She must be new on the council, as her name does not ring a bell.

    "The federal government is not taking action on an issue I feel is really important," said Jill Grano, a Boulder City Councilwoman who proposed the ban at Tuesday's city council meeting. "And it's up to states and municipalities to be leaders in gun control."

    Grano said the council would hash out details about what weapons would be banned under the proposal and how it would be enforced.

    "I recognize that those are sort of catch-all terms," said Grano. "I hope that we'll include any sort of semi-automatic weapon in our definition of assault weapons, but we will be seeking advice from our city attorney and his staff on what’s legally defensible."

    While Boulder begins the discussion on an assault weapons ban, Denver has had one in place since 1989. Grano said they will use Denver as a starting point, but she hopes to create a stricter policy.

    The I guess nobody mentioned preemption to them, because the discussion with the city attorney is going to be pretty short.

    They do know that people own guns in Boulder, don't they?

    One things for certain, if Boulder gets it's way, most every other large city in the state will be pushing the same thing.
