HB 1224 vs Denver AWB

[lowbeyond]

Does anyone know what the deal is with these two ?

I know that Denver won their case 2-2 over a home rule exemption (talk about a technicality - heh) so they could restrict mags to 20 rounds.

But now with HB 1224, the limit is 15. So... which wins 15 or 20 ?

My guess is the 15 rnd limit applies but, if the state cannot overrule Denver on its awb do to "home rule", then how can the state impose a 15 round limit in Denver city/county ?

You will likely see Denver modify their ordinance to 10 or 15. I am guessing 10 since they are a bunch of assholes.

heh. probably.

but i wonder what political subdivisions in CO could due under the home rule precedent to foul up 1224 and other bills...

So, if Denver can write its own AWB rule and limit magazines how it sees fit, can some city like say Colorado Springs write a law saying you can own full capacity magazines? Could city and county governments nullify the magazine ban under Home Rule?

As a smaller governmental entity than the state, they can be more restrictive than state law, but not less restrictive.

No, they can be less restrictive - just the tighter of overlapping restrictions applies where the two are both in effect. Denver completely removing their AW ban would not overturn the state ban within Denver liimits. Denver tightening theirs more than the state will create a fresh challenge for a CO supreme court revisit, so they won't do that, either.

I'm going to disagree with you, my friend. As an example, in a relatively similar fashion, as MJ is legal in the state now, local governments can enact laws to restrict it in their jurisdictions. Thus, be more restrictive.

To expand on this idea- currently some municipalities/counties are allowed to restrict the sale (via dispensary) of MMJ. They still, after 64 is fully regulated and integrated, will be allowed to have an outright ban of commercial sale. So... in closing, OneGuy is correct.

What if two swallows gripped it by the husk and carried it together?

It's OK to disagree with me, I just think you're wrong here, as you think I'm wrong. We may yet get to find out which of us is right - if Denver goes further retarded!
