Colorado Weapons Ban

[4v50 Gary]

I do hope for internal seccession movements where radical leftist parts of the state are carved out and ignored by normal parts. That would be Denver/Boulder in Colorado, SF Bay Area and LA Basin in CA, Western Coast of Oregon and WA from the eastern part of the states, Boston from Massachusetts, Baltimore from MD, etc.

That would be Denver/Boulder in Colorado,

Say, Continental Divide to line through Greeley, Monument to Owl Canyon , this area of the front range population explosion. Oh, include islands of Aspen and Vail. Guess I'll have to move to Julesburg.

Friends like Colorado in general, plan to spend the summer there out of Florida heat and humidity. Although they are gun owners, they are not much exercised over repressive legislation.

The solution is for Scotus to wake up and decide/take/not remand cases and make clear decisions, not new rules with debatable historical references. Won't happen though. Cases on drug or domestic abusers, bump stocks based on how agencies decide things are all very nice but truly peripheral. Getting rid of AWBs, mag bans and permit/carry restrictions that eliminate useful carry are the core issues that they have not gotten to - too much yachting.

Exactly they should have made it clear decades ago that all gun control violates the Constitution. It's ridiculous that this garbage we have is allowed to go on and on. It's says clear as day that no infringements are permitted.

Exactly they should have made it clear decades ago that all gun control violates the Constitution.

Decades ago, the gun issue wasn't "ripe" because it wasn't at the forefront. Prior to 1968, there really wasn't much regulation of guns, except for the NFA and some localities such as New York. The legal consensus about the 2nd Amendment was that it was a dead letter.

The antigun push after 1968 is what prompted the pro-gun reaction. And now, the wave of antigun extremism will prompt even more pro-gun reaction. We'll see what the next few elections hold.

I always say that "you can't carry what you can't own." Therefore the priority for the SC must be to overturn the bans on classes of weapons. Yes, there has been progress on carry rights (Bruen) but this is really a secondary issue.

Ever since the Dobbs decision, the Supreme Court has been on shaky ground, and they know it. Hence their hesitancy to get involved in any other controversial areas.

I don't think that's it. I think (what do I know) that there are not the votes for a clear decision on weapons types and carry restrictions. Just because 6 Justices are the crotch police doesn't mean that these 6 all support gun rights in the manner we might like.

If and when something more happens I'll reopen this but staying on top of the off topic noise has become too much work.
