“There is no law in Colorado to register semi-autos and all mags owned prior to the law are grandfathered. I bought a bunch of 20 and 30 rd mags right before the law took effect.”

And what would prevent you, or tens of thousands of others, from going over the border to a neighboring (free) state and buying more mags, and then claiming that they were “pre-ban.” How would the state prove otherwise, unless they had someone watch you buy the mags, and then pulled you over immediately after you crossed back into the state?

Reminds me of what I did in NJ. A friend and I used to go to gun shows in Pennsylvania quite often after Gov. James (”Flim Flam”) Florio shoved an “assault weapon” ban down our throats, including a ban on ANY mags (pre- or post-ban) over 15 rounds. We bought PLENTY of 20- and 30-round AR mags. I never used them in NJ, but when my wife and I left (escaped, really) 15 years ago, I remarked to her (after we passed the “Welcome to Delaware” sign), “Now you won’t have to bail me out of jail.” She was shocked, and asked why, and I explained the law to her. She asked how many I had, and I said, “Well, 18 inches behind my ass is roughly 200 years’ worth in Rahway State Prison.” She turned white and took about 30 seconds to ask if Texas had any laws like that. I told her, “No, Texas is in America.” Thankfully it still is, and I can buy whatever I want that I can afford.

Nothing at all unless they were date stamped like the ones I bought and the date was post-ban. I simply didn't want to wait and since traveling is out of the question for me for the foreseeable future I wanted to have them shipped to me. The pre-ban date stamp should work in my favor too if things go sideways for me. ;-)

We're working here to restore Colorado to America and managed to get part way back.
