'Gun-toting hippies' greet Boulder 'assault weapons' ban with mass noncompliance
Washington Times ^ | 3JAN19 | By Valerie Richardson

BOULDER, Colorado — Boulder’s 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.

Only 342 “assault weapons,” or semiautomatic rifles, were certified by Boulder police before the Dec. 31 deadline, meaning there could be thousands of residents in the scenic university town of 107,000 in violation of the sweeping gun-control ordinance.

Turning innocents into criminals
because of unconstitutional actions.
Colorado at one time embodied the
spirit of the west. The independent
spirit. It now has degraded to the
point of the disease with hardly a
cure.

When the “invaders” crash our borders, are added to the census rolls thus causing need for more representation, etc., the Demodummies will control the entire government. That is exactly why Pelosi and the rest of the “rats” are resisting Trump promise for a wall. Once that happens, gun ownership as we have enjoyed for so many years and protected by the Constitution, will be gone. What we are seeing today will, if allowed to go forward will be the end of this once great country. They want their way and will never stop until they get it.

There’s a thought out there that the reason Pelosi ( the hag) is not compromising on a wall is because it’s he that wants it. Maybe a little. But you’re right. They’ve gotta get as many bodies in here before the door closes to guarantee a supermajority . I don’t think the door will ever close until the patriots slam it shut.

Illegal “laws” will naturally not be obeyed. This is America, not communist Cuba nor the Soviet Union nor nazi Germany.

There was an article that Texas AG found 95,000 Criminal Invaders registered to vote and 55,000 of them had cast votes. I would think this would be grounds for the president to order the Department of Justice to aggressively seek out voter fraud and put a stop to it at least for the next election cycle.

Marbury v. Madison 1803, vol 5, pg 137

It is also not entirely unworthy of observation that, in declaring what shall be the supreme law of the land, the Constitution itself is first mentioned, and not the laws of the United States generally, but those only which shall be made in pursuance of the Constitution, have that rank.
Thus, the particular phraseology of the Constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written Constitutions, that
a law repugnant to the Constitution is void,
and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument.

Indeed, the entire history and purpose of USA is government that protects, instead of seizing or stealing or denying - the liberties of the individual citizens — in short — a constitutional republic where the citizens are sovereign, not just another dictatorship where the subjects or sheeple are oppressed

Problem is, the "patriots" aren't having babies. The invaders are. Illegal immigrant women are having 5-7 kids. Legal Somalis are having 10 kids on average. Close the door this very second and there's still a demographic disaster heading our way.

Wife and I had four kids together. That's all we can do. There's no more seats in the minivan.

So the same leftists that demand laws to control their enemies ignore the law when they do not like it.

The rule of law is well on its way to going extinct. Then we will have the rule of man which is regulated at the end of the barrel of a gun.

If illegal laws are or should be ignored, why does everyone not have fully automatic weapons?

Will wonders never cease? We might have a little common ground after all.

The rest of Colorado hopes this non-compliance in Boulder serves as a warning to the newly installed communists running the state, not to over-reach with gun grabbing legislation.

The commies knew how to deal with this in 1919.

“the Demodummies will control the entire government.....Once that happens, gun ownership as we have enjoyed for so many years and protected by the Constitution, will be gone.”

Why is that inevitable and who’s going to take away our gun rights? Did Obama succeed? Did Feinstein succeed in taking away a single gun?

Our nation succumb to one-party rule? That’s quite a ways off, in my opinion. Meanwhile, gun sales remain brisk as CCW issuance increases. These liberals are NOT omnipotent as they want us to believe and as some of us already believe.

Trump’s bump stock ban? That’s an enormous banana peel for those who try to enforce it. He knew what he was doing.

Pelosi is not as invincible as she thinks herself. She’s not that bright, either; PDJT is playing her like a cheap fiddle.
