Ruling on CO Magainze ban?

[Little Dutch]

Good to know. I recall it being common knowledge at the time, but everything I heard was a second or third hand repeat story.

Yes and no.. despite what people want to think the 30 round thing was just some random statement from a representative, it was never seriously discussed and would have never gone through regardless of what Dudley was saying at the time.

It was 20 rounds. They were willing to accept a 20 round mag limit, the others pushed for 15. D/brown raised a ruckus and you got stuck with 15 rd limit.

I was reading that the supreme court may hear this on a national level.

That could be really good or really bad.

Has RMGO ever done anything favorable? I mean, favorable to anyone but Dudley

2003. Uniformity of concealed carry law statewide, and Shall Issue.


Since then, not really.

Don't have any hope for it -

All but one of the judges are appointees from progressive regressive Stalinist governors, so it doesn't matter what the arguments were, it may as well have been appealed to the DNC.

FIFY.

I blame Dudley for the mag ban ... there was a Republican candidate for Senate that didn't kiss his ring so he undermined him and a D won, giving the majority to the D's and the first thing they did is pass the batch of gun control laws.

FU Dudley.

Agreed. I blame Dudley for a lot -- including the initial election of Mike Bennet when there was an imperfect but acceptable Republican opponent.

That's not my recollection. The bill as originally introduced by Rapsheet has a 10 round limit:

In later discussion one of the Dems offered 15 as a compromise, and the frickin other Democrats agreed to that change for no reason at all, as they had the votes for 10.

It wasn't until the sixth version of the bill that we saw 15 rounds as the limit.

Fat chance. The issue is too clear cut and there are a lot of precedents that they could have addressed.

I also don't trust Chief Justice Roberts. Maybe if Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg croaks and Trump can get another appointment, might be doable, but I'm not holding my breath.

This country is not yet in the clear with the 'Rona power grabs, so I think there are bigger fish to fry right now.

The 30 round Dudley thing came out after the law was already passed. The 15 round magazine ban was passed in 2013. In 2015 a story emerged that the state house was considering legislation that would change that limit to 30 rounds, Dudley ripped on all of the “pro gun” politicians for trying to come up with a compromise because he believed there should be no limit at all. In the end the consideration was never really a serious proposal and was simply a couple guys in the house engaged in water cooler talk. It’s listed on Dudleys wikipedia page.

”In 2015, the Colorado State Legislature considered legislation that would bump the magazine limit enacted in 2013 from 15 rounds to 30 rounds. Brown opposed the legislation, arguing that 30 rounds per magazine isn't enough. Brown's opposition to the increased magazine limit drew criticism from fellow gun rights activists.^[17] Luc Hatlestad of 5280 magazine wrote that conservatives were questioning whether Brown "is more committed to the money his activism earns him than the alleged principles behind his supposedly high-minded crusade."”

30 rounds is pretty standard. 15 is asinine.
