Colorado passes Gun Control Laws

[Crazed Rabbit]

Sadly, a large infestation of stupidity in the Colorado legislature has led to the passing of multiple gun control laws;

Universal Background Checks - and requiring money for those checks. (HB 1228, 1229)

(HB 1224) A ban on 'large capacity' (15+) magazines.

Both of these will be completely useless. They are knee jerk reactions to isolated, very rare, events that can be easily circumnavigated. Switching magazines takes a couple seconds. Criminals will get around checks like they get around laws against allergy medicine

However the gun control ()@*&$ are happy because it makes it much more difficult to buy and sell firearms from people, and because it begins the erosion of gun rights. These authoritarians will use the next publicized violent event as an excuse to ratchet down tighter - as New York state has now banned 7+ bullet magazines.

Furthermore, in Colorado's case the ban on 'large' capacity magazines is written so as to prevent the transfer (i.e. inheritance, gifts, etc.), sale, and purchase of nearly all magazines:

NONE OF THIS WILL HELP. And these attacks on freedom are being pushed by authoritarians and statists like Bloomberg, mayor of NYC.

We are hardly a free country, and we're becoming less free as myopic masses of idiots will happily and readily give up their hard earned rights because some politician with an agenda says it will make them safer.

Some hick terrorist in the middle of a desert with an AK is no threat to America and American freedom. The real threat, looming like a glacier, is our authoritarian government and apathetic population.
