A website called Bearing Arms<\/a> posted an article about Boulder, Colorado, earlier this month. It seems as if some of the city officials have forgotten the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Residents of Boulder, Co., have until December 27 to \u201ccertify\u201d their \u201cassault weapons\u201d or remove the firearms from city limits. Those who fail to comply could face fines, jail time, and confiscation and destruction of their firearms, according to the\u00a0Denver Post<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boulder police say they have certified 85 firearms since the city council passed an \u201cassault weapons\u201d ban in May. Residents who already owned prohibited rifles, pistols, and shotguns were given the chance to keep their firearms by certifying prior ownership with police. The council also voted unanimously to ban \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazines and bump stocks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMy 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,\u201d Councilman Aaron Brockett\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0in May.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What? Generally speaking, ‘certification’ is the prelude to confiscation.<\/p>\n

The Second Amendment states:<\/p>\n

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keep in mind that the Bill of Rights (the first ten amendments to the Constitution) were put in place to limit the power of the federal government. Those amendments were necessary in order to get all of the thirteen colonies to sign on to the U.S. Constitution. The Bill of Rights limits the power of the government–it is not intended to limit the power of American citizens.<\/p>\n

This is an instance where a state resident, a state official or state legislature needs to step in declare this ban and registration program unconstitutional and send the case through the courts. This law should not be allowed to stand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
