A city council has that authority? I doubt it. The people are already screaming.
Un Con!
Void before it was written.
Colorado statute prohibits communities from making laws more strict than State law.
Suddenly turning a fair proportion of your citizens into felons is symbolic, all right. The prison sentences won't be.
I’m shopping for a small 9 mm or comparable gun with 10 or less in mag since we’re going to see our son in Denver this month. Suggestions?
I’ve been to Boulder ONCE. That was to see Charlton Heston speak.
Local Authority to Regulate Firearms in Colorado
A local government may not enact an ordinance, regulation, or other law that prohibits the sale, purchase, or possession of a firearm that a person may lawfully sell, purchase, or possess under state or federal law. Any such ordinance, regulation, or other law enacted by a local government prior to March 18, 2003, is void and unenforceable.
An absolute RIGHT. Here are what the jurists thought of the 2nd Amendment in the 1800s.
This is from the suppressed 1982 Congressional Report on THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS. Betcha can’t find the complete version on line or in print. I have a a copy from 1982 from the US Government printing house.

Nunn v. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.)

(1846)
.
“’The right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed.’ The right of the whole
people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear
arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be
infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the
important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so
vitally necessary to the security of a free State.”
15 years ago...I was on a business trip to Boulder. When I saw men wearing maxi-dresses in public, I knew my “places to expand our business to” report to the board wasn’t going to read positive.
Now that individual towns can ignore the parts of the Constitution that they don’t agree with, all of the red Counties in America need to push for for bans on Muslims, left-wing speech and protest, and Miranda rights for drug users.

If it weren’t for the Rocky Mtn vistas, Boulder would not exist...there are no Christians there, all mind and body worship...
Colorado doesn’t have state pre-emption???
Which part of this definition are they unclear about?
Infringe: actively break the terms of (a law, agreement, etc.)
act so as to limit or undermine (something); encroach on.
Can not stand.
We are not just civilians as in a military society. We are full-fledged CITIZENS in a supposedly FREE society, of at least equal status and rights to conduct our own private affairs. This Suzanne Jones thinks she’s somewhat better to be dictating what a citizen can and cannot keep and carry under the Constitution. Shut her up, literally.
They don’t even pretend to make out that they want to take guns from violent criminals.
Court case soon
