BOULDER, Colorado Boulders newly enacted assault weapons ban is meeting with stiff resistance from its gun-toting hippies, staunch liberals who also happen to be devoted firearms owners.

Semiautomatic pistols and shotguns are also included.
Current owners were given until the end of the year to choose one of two options: Get rid of their semiautomatics by moving them out of town, disabling them, or turning them over to police or apply for a certificate with the Boulder Police Department, a process that includes a firearm inspection, background check, and $20 fee.
Judging by the numbers, however, most Boulder firearms owners have chosen to do none of the above, albeit quietly.

Even a revolver is semi automatic: one pull, one shot.
So, I guess flintlocks are going to be all of the rage.
