Residents of Boulder, Co., have until December 27 to “certify” their “assault weapons” or remove the firearms from city limits. Those who fail to comply could face fines, jail time, and confiscation and destruction of their firearms, according to the Denver Post.
Boulder police say they have certified 85 firearms since the city council passed an “assault weapons” ban in May. Residents who already owned prohibited rifles, pistols, and shotguns were given the chance to keep their firearms by certifying prior ownership with police. The council also voted unanimously to ban “high-capacity” magazines and bump stocks.
“My hope is that we will see more bans at the state level and one day at the federal level so these weapons will no longer be available,” Councilman Aaron Brockett said in May.
Boulder police Sgt. Dave Spraggs stressed to the Post that no records or paperwork are kept of these certifications. He claims that police only keep a “handwritten count” of how many rifles residents certify.
It’s difficult to estimate compliance levels, and police and city officials have admitted that they can’t do much about gun owners who refuse to certify their rifles.
“This is a very divisive issue where people have very strong feelings,” City Attorney Tom Carr told the Daily Camera. “The folks who oppose these kinds of bans … some of them suggest they’re not going to cooperate. I can’t predict what people are going to do, but I respect the feelings.”
Will residents be compelled to wear yellow gun silhouettes on their coats?

They’d mandate that if they could do so. Bet on it.
I didn’t see a bird, either.
That pair of birds can assault me anytime!
May all gun grabbing politicians die a screaming painful horrible death unlike the person who fell asleep at the wheel driving the car they were in.
I know, I just wanted to raise the intellectual level of the thread.

85 people have submitted. What if thousands don’t comply? Then what?
“People shouldn’t be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.”

I wonder which Tattoo Shop they contracted with to “register” those Citizens who are suspected of supporting the Second Amendment.
Assault Weapon, what you call a Baseball Bat after you hit someone in the Head with one.
There’s no bird in that picture

Mr. Brocket should be tarred and feathered.
Records will be kept. You can bet on it. Don’t forget, the Police can lie to the citizens. It is the Citizens that can’t lie to the police.
