Quick Summary:
This ordinance bans possession or sale or transfer of a wide variety of semi-automatic rifles (Specifically including the Colt AR-14) and imposes registration requirements on city residents who may wish to retain any of the prohibited items for a limited time period. Due to magazine capacity limitations, the ordinance effectively bans a number of semi-automatic pistols, including most Glock models, and some Sig-Sauer models.
Additionally, the ordinance forbids transport of loaded firearms within the city- which renders a CCW permit largely useless.
The full text of the proposed ordinance is available on the City of Boulder Website.
The City Council appears to be favorably disposed to passing this ordinance.
Didn’t San Francisco get smacked down for doing the same thing?
I assume this news is from Boulder, Colo., the Berkeley of the Midwest. If so, it’s hardly a surprise.
More laws. That’ll stop em.
I got my NRA notice today and told my wife I’m going to attend the meeting but didn’t think I would get a seat due to the number of 2A supporters that would be there. Remember ‘Jill Adler Grano’. If anyone can discover who is supporting her, please let everyone know.
Colorado doesn’t have state pre-emption???
The Denver-Boulder axis of evil strikes again. If you carry, stay away from both.
Texas anticipated this kind of BS and wrote the law so it could not be changed by local authorities.
Boulder. 5 square miles surrounded by reality. Another reason never to visit. However I do not believe they can ban transport of loaded firearms. Denver tried to nullify the state law that you can carry in your car without a permit. They lost. As long as someone s only passing through and not stopping in city limits the state law applies. Get out of your car it’s a different story.
I’m sure CO has a state pre-emption law that forbids counties and municipalities from enacting gun laws stricter than that allowed by state law.
If Boulder passes this ordinance, expect the NRA to sue to get it overturned. Its not allowed to do it.
And in CO, anti-gun politicians have lost their seats. This is mainly a rural state Denver-Boulder notwithstanding.
Is there any state preemption in Colorado?
CC
At the very least, that one violates state law.
Colorado is becoming as big a two cultures state as California
Yeah - "register" your weapons so we can come and pick them up next Wednesday....
Every time this has been tried, nobody took the bait and I can't see them doing so now......Molon Labe...
“registration requirements on city residents who may wish to retain any of the prohibited items for a limited time period”
So, after a limited time period, after
registration, will they attempt
confiscation?
Went to school in Boulder. Know the hippie town well.
Here’s an idea ... replace all gun stores with pot shops. /s
I bet the GPAs of CU Boulder students have dropped since legalization.
I’m making my house a “ guns welcome” sanctuary house.
Think of the possibilities, everyone! LOL!
Hey, how about just banning criminals?
