Caldara: On January 1, I became a criminal in my hometown of Boulder (AR-15 Ban)

[PROCON]

It’s not the intolerance of progressives that is so insulting. It is the denial of their intolerance that is so abusive.

~~~~SNIP~~~~

Because I own a long gun with a pistol grip and a detachable magazine, I had to the end of December to self-identify to the police, present myself for investigation and my gun for inspection, pay fees in order to receive a police-issued permission slip, all to avoid jail time, monetary penalties, and the confiscation and destruction of my gun.

~~~~SNIP~~~~

For publicly stating that I will not comply, my daughter has been targeted at her Boulder school, the one with posters celebrating tolerance and diversity all over the walls. My refusal to submit has been commented on by teachers in front of their classes. She has been ganged up on by students and bullied because “her father is a murderer.” She is worried that I will be taken to jail. As a single dad to her and her handicapped brother, I have to admit I’m worried about that too.

It is confusing why anyone would paint obvious targets on their children’s backs.

Maybe he is setting an example for his kids; That as Americans they have certain rights that are worth fighting for.

[RandallFlagg]

Colorado is supposed to have preemption, but Denver still outlaws open carry.

[Lurkinanloomin]

They just ignore whatever is inconvenient, like they did with the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

It means nothing when it can mean anything.

” my daughter has been targeted at her Boulder school, the one with posters celebrating tolerance and diversity all over the walls.

And what happened to those zero tolerance, anti bullying policies the public schools are so proud of? Where’s Lady Caca, Miley Cyrus and the other celebrity assholes who love to throw their star power behind the anti-bullying campaigns? They don’t even pretend to reach out to kids who are bullied for supporting Trump or for being on the “wrong” side of the issues. Also, I always suspected the real reason the ACLU supported the nazis marching through Skokie was because deep down they’re closet nazis themselves. The left has been adept at concealing their true intentions, that is until Trump got elected, now that phony facade is crumbling and we see they are what they PRETEND to hate.

Damn the family collateral damage and full speed ahead. The kids are young and expendable, he can make more ... right?

"I’ve been to Boulder ONCE. That was to see Charlton Heston speak."

That would have been one place to see him perform. I gave a little to the NRA back then, but I give as much as possible with Col. North in charge because of his particular experience, knowledge and direction. ;-)

[Howie66]

When are decent law abiding citizens going to stop putting up with the anti-constitutional activities of the Marxists? Enough of this garbage!

Let US go on the offensive and fight to defend our Constitution, our Sovereignty and Our God Given Freedom!!!

To do anything less is to allow the Communists to take over and destroy our way of life.

[IronJack]

You are not a criminal for practicing a constitutional right.

You are a criminal if a court of law says you are. Try using your argument in court and see how far it gets you. Sure, we know it's valid, but if you think a Boulder court is going to let you make that defense, you're deluded.

[JoSixChip]

That is better then teaching them to be good little comrades. Is that really living?

[MeganC]

Police who enforce such laws will receive no sympathy from me if their actions result in misfortune.

[libstripper]

As a charter member of the Free Republic Boating Club, I feel your pain. I doubt there is a single boater left on FR who has not experienced a similar accident.

Since so many of us have suffered such Tragic Boating Accidents, I’ve coined an acronym we can all use, TBA. Indeed, we must be the world’s boaters, having all suffered similar accidents.

...this man's life is being destroyed...

Well, not so far. Hope he has good lawyers (David Kopel?) because this ordinance violate COs preemption law.

[MeganC]

An unjust law is no law at all.

A curse on any court and any judge who enforces tyranny instead of upholding their oath to the Constitution.

[I want the USA back]

The left wants to take guns from honest, non-violent citizens while deliberately leaving them in the hands of violent criminal. I will never back down from that assertion.

There is no such thing as “becoming a criminal retroactively.” Ex post facto laws are invalid. (U.S. Constitution.)

[Blue Jays]

"...it would be awesome for someone who does not own an AR-15 to publicly state they won’t comply..."

---

I like your way of thinking! Let them come like hell’s hammers after someone who is completely on the sidelines.

[MileHi]

Yes

[real saxophonist]

They had to throw out a couple of people who tried to disrupt his speech.

The real entertainment was outside the venue. This was when the Tyranny Response Team was still active.

[sevlex]

[Scrambler Bob]

Me too.

But I am talking about Jesus more.

Probably will get in more trouble.

[RandallFlagg]

How about someone who has an AR-15, refuses to comply, but doesn’t live in Boulder?

I refuse to comply!!!!!

MUAAHAHAHAHAAA!!
