Thanks for the ping. 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.

If House Bill 1224 becomes law, anyone who currently possesses a magazine that holds more than 15 rounds is able to keep it, though if they transfer or sell the magazine, ...

In essence that means 15+ magazines will be around forever. No matter how many I accumulate in the future all of them will go through my time machine and come out grandfathered. If I transfer or sell them the buyer will put them through his time machine.

Yeah, but we need to slap the hell out of those who would toss our rights away like they're doing. This is one front of many that we should do battle.

I would have put up a vote for a law that anti-constitutional supporters either go to prison or N Korea, their choice.

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.

Yep, no identification numbers on magazines, so there’s no way to say they weren’t pre-ban.

“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….)
