Federal Marshalls should round up those who voted for it and put them in federal prison for denial of constitutional rights; no bail - stay in prison until trial; felony convictions; lifetime ban on owning any firearm. See how they like that.

In April, the Chicago suburb of Deerfield, Illinois voted to ban assault weapons and fine violators up to $1,000 a day. And now, the city of Boulder, Colorado, is following suit. On Tuesday, Boulder's City Council unanimously passed a ban on the sale and possession of assault weapons, high-capacity magazines and bump-stock devices -- even while attorneys from a pro-gun rights group threatened legal action.

In accordance with the new ordinance, owners of high-capacity magazines and bump stocks will have until July 15 to dispose of the firearm accessories or sell them. After that point, they will not be permitted in the city of Boulder.

So.... basically just leave the City of Boulder Colorado and not worry about this?

However, attorneys from the nonprofit Mountain States Legal Foundation insist that loophole is not enough and plan to challenge the ban in court.

According to the Daily Camera, the group's attorneys threatened legal action during the open comment section preceding the vote "on behalf of an unnamed client, alleging 'violations of the Second, Fifth and 14th Amendments,'" as well as the Colorado state constitution.

As it currently stands, the ordinance only grants Boulder police, not local gun stores, the right to issue certificates to current firearms owners. And while that piece of the ordinance may very well be amended in the future, as it currently stands, the law represents continued and groundbreaking local action in the effort to restrict access to assault weapons.

"My hope is that we will see more bans at the state level and one day at the federal level so these weapons will no longer be available," Boulder Councilman Aaron Brockett reportedly stated at the vote.

Well at least they've got attorneys at the ready and hopefully the local folk don't allow that council member in on any other political fields.

Appears we all need to arrive in Boulder on July 16th and stand with our brothers in arms, time that statements are made.

The government and the courts wouldn't know the constitution if they fell over it.

What political party runs the city? Voters get what they deserve.

Boulder is and has been liberal for at least 30 years. Used to not be too bad, they were socially liberal, yet most appreciated guns, fishing, providing for some sembelnce of self reliance - pretty typical Coloradans. But Colorado has been Californicated like Oregon and Washington.

Cancer kills the entire body, we have had it for 30 years so no doubt the suffering is passed around. State never recovered after the spotted owl and 30 years of managed decline has ruined the state. Good part is that people can leave and let the cancer kill itself.

Another piece of anti-liberty bullsh!t. And the voters of Boulder elect the f'ers that do this stuff. Unbelievable. What has happened to our country? Bunch of pansy-azz worthless POS's out there these days.

This may be good news for us though. This is going to court. Hopefully it eventually makes the supreme court. We need a damn ruling, once and for all regarding infringement on our rights. This crap needs to be brought to a halt once and for all.

F'ing anti-American losers. It sounds to me like they're just asking for a 2nd civil war - and if they keep this up, they may just get it. These people and those that support them are traitors to this country, no butts about it.

This does not make me happy

Until our Left start putting up barriers-to-exit like their Eurotrash forebears...

It's already the case in the largest metro areas of Oregon . When it gets really bad the left start eating their own. Let's hope for national reciprocity and then state level electoral college.

It will be a far bigger fight than anyone realizes. Most don't remember how close Kate was to Obama. She stood so close to his policy of stealing ranchers rights that she used a government drone to help ambush him. What does that tell you about her using a drone? Is it the future she has for the terrorist that want to keep their guns?

Look at this video and see Americans standing up for gun rights.

I won't be there until after this but i am hopeful that my daughter and son in law will make an appearance this Saturday in Longmont at the 2 A rally going on there.

M D A has made it known that they are taking this to all counties. It did not work out to good at the state level for Co. so this is how they are going about it.

What I was referring to was that we can always vote with feet and take our tax dollars elsewhere... until they do something like a Berlin Wall physically or some kind of economic warfare making it cost-prohibitive to get out. Granted, that would violate the Interstate Commerce Clause, but since they wipe themselves with the rest of the Constitution anyway...
