    Boulder's AR-15 Certification Ordinance Sure Sounds Like A Test Run For A Gun Registry

    Matt Vespa

    Remember when Boulder, Colorado banned the ownership of AR-15 rifles? They also banned high-capacity magazines and bump stocks, giving gun owners with such magazines until July 15, 2018 to either sell them or dispose of them—whatever that means. Most likely, you’ll have to turn them over to the authorities. Now, there is a grandfather clause allowing residents who already owned AR-15s to keep them as long as they get a certificate by the local sheriff’s office. Well, that date is rapidly approaching. AR-15 owners have until December 27 to certify their weapons. If owners fail to do this, they won’t be allowed to own their rifles within city limits. So far, only 85 rifles have been certified (via Denver Post):


    Boulder police have certified 85 assault weapons to residents with less than a month to go before all such firearms will need to be verified or removed from the city.
    A ban on the sale or possession of assault weapons, high-capacity magazines and bump stocks was passed unanimously in May by Boulder city council. Guns already owned by residents were grandfathered in; council gave residents until the end of the year to obtain a certificate.
    Certification is not a registry; the department keeps no records or paperwork of any kind. The only information they have is a handwritten count, said Boulder police Sgt. Dave Spraggs. Eighty-seven certificates have been issued to date. Two of those were redundancies, for the same weapon shared between a husband and wife.

    This is nonsense. And yes, it may not be a registry, but it sure sounds like a test run. We all know that the anti-gun Left wants to shred the Constitution, ban firearms, and confiscate them by force if necessary. How can one do that efficiently? You need a gun registry, which is why the universal background check push is such a fraud. We have enough laws on the books that prevents criminals and nutcases from committing heinous acts. In recent months, we’ve seen that such laws are not enforced all the time, however. Just look at the Navy Yard Shooting, Dylann Roof’s preventable hate crime in South Carolina, and the Sutherland Springs shooting in Texas, where an Air Force veteran, who served a year in jail after a 2012 court martial for domestic violence, was allowed to purchased an AR-15 because…the Air Force did not inform the FBI of his conviction. The recent school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas in Broward County, Florida was also preventable.

    I’ll let Tom Knighton at our sister site Bearing Arms sign off on this one:

    Councilman Brockett thinks he wants to see these guns gone, but he doesn’t understand what that world would look like. He doesn’t get that with every gun unavailable to the law-abiding citizen, there’s another gun the criminals can use without worrying about whether their victims have a way to respond.

    That way lies chaos. It leads to horrific crimes that no one can stop, crimes like the gang violence plaguing Mexico where the average citizen is essentially disarmed. You’re deluded if you think the disarmed populace doesn’t play into the cartels’ plans.
    I’m not saying it would happen overnight, but it would embolden criminals.

    As it stands, Boulder will still have people with these rifles. It’ll have them, and that will keep the worst of this kind of thing away. It’ll let the gun grabbers live in the delusion that they’re somehow safer, at least for a little while.
    But it doesn’t change the fact that this is wrong, stupid, and immoral.

    Wrong, stupid, and immoral—excellent words to describe American liberalism.

    First, no criminal will register a weapon of any kind. Now, suppose every law abiding citizen who owns an "assault weapon" registered it with the government and the government has a record of the name and address of every owner and where all the firearms are located. How would this prevent a single shooting? I sincerely want one of you who are for "sensible gun control laws" to explain to me how this will prevent a single shooting. I really want you to answer this question.

    Reading a book by dr. Stephen halbrook, "gun control in nazi -occupied france". Read what registration did/caused the failure of france to defend itself and how the french were killed by the nazi for not registering their guns. Read how some politicians turned on their own countrymen. Read how and why hitler entered france thru belgium and not switzerland.

    And "you" want gun control??? Bend over and kiss your asp good by.


    For the trouble at that time will be far more terrible than any there has ever been, from the beginning of the world to this very day. Nor will there ever be anything like it again.

    Default Gun control

    Gun control is nothing more than an easy/easier means to a new world order. Nothing more, comey "'i don't remember" in my opinion was promised a top position in the hrc government, along with all the other traitors she would have brought along.


    We did a non-official estimate of the number of guns in our county based on hunting permits, gun club participation, gun shop sales of merchandise , estimate 500,000 in a small populated county, come and get them,

    is it time to stand up for our rights, all our rights?

    This isn't a left-right issue. Republican politicians love their duck-hunting photos (though notice they never seem to actually pose with a dead duck) and talk about "the rights of the sportsmen" but your good ol-boy, local, conservative cop will bust you just as fast for an "illegal" weapon as a leftist thug enforcer of the totalitarian state.

    No government wants its people armed. When the people insist upon it, the government concedes ... but only if it has no choice.

    I insist. If you take my legal guns, I'm perfectly willing to acquire illegal ones. Literally every week I read in the news locally about some methhead who was arrested and charged not only with whatever crime got them busted, but they were also found with guns (usually stolen).

    All of my state's sheriffs have signed a statement that they will not enforce unconstitutional edicts ie confiscate guns
    America did not go to war with Britain over taxes or even over the murder of it's citizens. The war started over possession of guns and ammo.
    They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.

    I don't know I feel I trust the sheriff's on this matter. They ALREADY enforce a lot of unconstitutional issues because it financially benefits them to do so. (i.e. property seizures related to drugs). All they're agreeing to do is not do something that THEY interpret as unconstitutional.

    And we've seen that people can twist themselves into all sorts of logical, legal, and ethical contortions where it's financially beneficial for them to do so.

    Bundy had the local sheriff on his side. So did the Branch Davidians.

    I've always said, take my guns and the next one I have will be a MG-42.
