New Gun Control for CO?

[ferrum]

Assuming Republicans in the Colorado House of Representatives are generally pro-gun. I looked at the NRA ratings for Democrats from the past election and a few were marked as pro-gun or relatively pro-gun. There are several with no NRA rating and but they, also, do not have an endorsement from the dipshits at Colorado Ceasefire. So as it stands it is going to be close -- but it does not look good.

My 2c. If high-capacity magazines are banned, such a law would be unenforceable. The govt. can't just take private property w/o compensation, and in this case, it's unlikely the govt. would want to pay for them. So that restriction would most likely be grandfathered in.

Then, how would the govt. prove in a court of law that the magazine is not a pre-ban one. No idea. It's unenforceable, but it would still be a hassle for gunowners to deal with it.

Couldn't CO just require magazine manufacturers to stamp a date on it? That would most likely violate the dormant commerce clause. The federal govt. can require it though.

How many folks will ship anything to CA? That plus heavy fines for a shop selling will put a good limit on them. Yeah you can drive to another state, but just like the hour+ instant background check it is another hurdle.

I'm not too worried at this point, except for the newly gained CC on campus... that is probably endangered.

We are constantly barraged with FUD on gun forums along the lines of "OMG NEW GUN CONTROL ON TEH WAY!!! ARRRGGGG!"


I submit that any further threads started on "TEH COMING GUN GRABBIN'!" be locked if they do not contain actual bill numbers (so for federal that would be HR#### for US House or SB#### US Senate. State bills would start 1001 for house bills or 13-01 for senate bills introduced in 2013).
