    Well, you don't have to play at all, because you don't live here. When it comes to Evans, you can play hardball. And it may work.... but it won't work in Boulder.

    In some ways, but we didn't get everything we wanted, isn't that giving in? We are being infringed. What if they pass the worse bill and then work to get the new bill- would that be a win or loss?

    It is a game for you. You have about as much skin in the game as a mohel who can't make the cut.

    I actually don't even know what your position is? You seem to want option C in a binary choice. You're playing Russian Roulette with a full cylinder- but with someone elses head. You're like the drunk friend that keeps getting in fights in bars and I end up getting punched pulling you back. I can do this all day long.

    The question is. What did Boulder offer to give up for their part?

    No registration and no mag limits, for one.

    So the equivalent of "If you let us punch you in the mouth, we won't kick you in the nuts and break your fingers".







    ...until we feel like it again.


    The only way this could be even palatable is if a violation was at MOST a petty offense, punishable with a fine of no more than $10.

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    So they're sticking to state 15 rd limit. Whew...they sure did compromise with us didn't they.
    Question is. Outside the gullible , a few members here, east and west coast transplants. WTF is going to register a firearm at the county level... Let alone register any gun at all.

    Well, considering they were going to go to 10, I'd say that's somewhat of a W.

    I was going to move out of the city before registering any of my firearms, it's Boulder municipality, not Boulder County.

    Do you have any NFA items?

    I still can't figure out what your point is? It seems that unless Boulder starts handing out bandoliers of ammo, you won't be happy.

    Yes the deal sucks, the other one sucks more. So you have these people voting and someone has done some work to get a winning a majority to move. The council has already voted 100% for the older version.

    You seem to think that this is a compromise. It isn't. Compromise involves two parties of relative levels of power that have something to trade to reach a relative mutually optimal acceptable solution. That isn't where we are. The council doesn't have to listen to us at all. They actually don't have to do anything to mitigate the old version. Someone has gone in with there with no bargaining power and been able to use old school persuasion, in lieu of leverage, to change people's mind. You'd label them a traitor. What they got, if there is an actual 'got' here, is the political equivalent of Daniel fending off the lions and then for lunch feeding of the multitudes with a couple of loaves and a fish- and you're sitting there bitching that there isn't an dessert and we throw him back to the lions.

    I'm guessing your way would be to walk in and tell the council its your right and F U.

    Bloomberg prays for people with that kind of mentality.

    I'd rather have access to ARs than 10+ round mags. But still good they're throwing out the 10 round limit
