DENVER - Two Littleton men say Colorado lawmakers over-stepped their bounds when they approved a ban on high capacity gun magazines.
Now, Tim LeVier and J.T. Davis are trying to put the issue to a vote of the people.

Whoops. I see you already made it clickable.
It has nothing to do about gun control, and everything to do with writing laws so vague that they can be interpreted in any way that the enforcing regime desires, solely for their benefit.
That was the point of addressing lack of serial numbers on magazines.
Will be interesting to see the timing of deliveries from Magpul’s “Boulder Airlift”, vs. the effectivity date, following the Guv’s signature.
For those who don’t know, Magpul instituted a special $5 shipping fee, for a limited # of Mag’s (up to 20), only for Colorado residents.
See “Inglorious Basterds”.
Carve it on their foreheads.
Yep, no identification numbers on magazines, so there’s no way to say they weren’t pre-ban.
Who is John Galt?
“You know how ya get to Carnagie Hall, don’t ya?
Practice.”
“I’m not sure a 2nd Amendment protected natural right should rightly be put up for a referendum vote but it’s one way to keep the issue alive and resist the Democrats. It shouldn’t have been up for a vote by the legislature either.”
It may be right; it may be wrong.
But it looks to be the ONLY way you’re going to see the new Colorado gun grab laws overturned is by a vote of the ordinary citizens. I don’t expect future Colorado legislatures to do the job. Nor the courts.
After watching the way that “representative government” has gone in this country for the last 50 years, I almost wonder if we’d do better under somthing like the Swiss model — where the entire population votes on matters of governmental importance.
Brings to mind the famous quote by William F. Buckley:
“[I’d] rather be governed by the first 2,000 names in the Boston telephone directory than by the 2,000 members of the Harvard faculty.”
Same for the 535 members of Congress.
(Aside: my state [Connecticut] is on the verge of passing legislation more restrictive than Colorado’s — again, at the whim of an “elected legislature” that is overwhelmingly democratic and liberal. I’d rather have these laws put up for public voting, and be done with it….)
OK
Agreed.
