A controversial [unconstitutional & unlawful] city ordinance to ban “assault weapons, bump stocks and high capacity magazines” passed the Boulder City Council unanimously on first reading Thursday night after more than five hours of public testimony on both sides of the issue. As written, the ban would require anyone legally possessing anything under the ban to either register that gun with the Boulder Police Department (fee charged) or surrender it for destruction.
The first reading passage is not a final decision. The Council could make changes on second or even a third reading before it becomes law. Councilwoman Jill Adler Grano, who asked for the ordinance, called the ban a “no brainer.” “I don’t see this as taking away Second Amendment rights,” Grano said. “The Second Amendment does not protect assault weapons. There have been hundreds and hundreds of mass shootings in America. This is a long overdue proposal. I think it’s time to say enough, not in the city of Boulder.”

What a total mess this is becoming. Patriots need to do a massive vote out all over the country against such tyranny.
OUTRAGOUS !!! The city attorney explains that the 2nd Amendment does not allow an “assault weapon” but then FAILS to show where it gives permission to any Gov’t to ban weapons. He cites SCOTUS permitting restrictions. so where in the Bill of Rights does it say Gov’t may add restrictions as they please ? He fails to mention SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. He then refers to getting “info” on weapons from the Gabby Giffords gun control group !!!! he then explains why the AR 15 was set as the “stable platform for the Military ” the rest is rambling nonsense !!! It’s time to vote out and replace these politicians and pompous city attorneys who think they are the final say on our rights.
