police-for-certification_2737367.html

Residents of Boulder, Colorado, have until Dec. 27 to certify their guns
with the city authorities.

Those who don’t certify risk legal trouble, as the city is trying to bring
residents into compliance with a ban on high-capacity magazines, bump
stocks, and assault rifles, The Western Journal reported.

Instead of confiscating the citizens’ banned rifles, the city wants them
to to be certified. The certificate will allow citizens to continue to
have the weapons in their possession if they were purchased before the
ban. It went into effect via a city council vote in May.

So far only 87 certificates out of a city of 100,000 residents have been
issued. But even that number consists of duplicates, in at least one case
due to dual ownership of a weapon between husband and wife.

To certify, residents have to go to police headquarters. Officers will
inspect the weapon while it is in a resident’s vehicle to make sure it is
a type of weapon under the ban, the Daily Camera reported. If so,
residents have to pay $20 for the first weapon and $5 for each additional
certification, depending on if the gun owner also passes a background
check.

Residents were previously ordered to sell or destroy bump stocks and high-
capacity magazines, with a deadline of July 15. The city is also looking
to establish a registration system for the city’s gun owners, according to
the Camera.

Authorities are expecting many people not to comply with the ban, and also
expect that people are finding ways to circumvent the laws. Police know
that some people are likely storing their weapons outside of city limits.

Legal Resistance to the Ban
The NRA Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) announced their support
for a lawsuit countering the ban, back in June. The Colorado State
Shooting Association (CSSA) initiated the lawsuit to protect the rights of
citizens to own guns.

“We will not stand by and allow the misguided gun control extremists on
the city council to strip us of our rights,” said CSSA executive director
Anthony Fabian, via an NRA-ILA news release. “We are grateful for the
NRA’s support of our lawsuit and look forward to restoring the rights of
Boulder’s law-abiding citizens.”

Even at the time when legislatures passed the laws in Boulder, they faced
threats of legal action. Before the city council to vote, the Mountain
States Legal Foundation spoke about challenging the ban and alleged it
violated the second, fifth, and fourteenth amendments, as well as the
Colorado state constitution, according to the Camera.

A 61-year-old gun owner in Ferndale, Maryland was killed when police
attempted to confiscate his gun, under new laws in Maryland. Gary Willis
refused to hand over his gun and was killed in the resulting scuffle with
the police who showed up at his door at around 5 a.m., the Baltimore Sun
reported.

The “Red Flag” gun confiscation order that led to the death of Willis and
the Colorado bans are both seen as reactions to the Parkland, Florida,
school shooting.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
