Are there any unintended consequences to the new laws in Colorado? You betcha!

[jimpeel]

It seems that this anti firearms group wants to have a "buyback" but the new laws on transfers prevent them from doing so without a licensed FFL to make the transfers for each and every transaction. That would break their bank in background check fees alone.

So now they are bemoaning the law that has prevented them from taking firearms "off the street" as it were.

Now, this is an unintended consequence that we can all live with -- at least until this debacle is repealed in the courts.

Gun buyback canceled because of new Colorado gun laws

I wonder if Sheriff Pelle is one of the Sheriffs involved in suit against the new gun laws?

Aw hell.

In the picture with that article, one of the guns in the box is a flat-latch Smith with diamond grips.

Ill be honest some of those buy backs turn out great deals if you stand outside of them. That said they encourage theft and destruction of evidence

No, he isn't. But perhaps he'll join it now.

Even better because he isn't doing this for political gain.

Total waste of time and our money to destroy a lot of beautiful firearms.

Sheriff Pelle doesn't have the best record of supporting the 2nd Amendment. He opposed a bill in 2011 to remove the requirement for a carry permit, and he refused to join a coalition of Sheriffs opposing the last rash of gun-control bills.

This is an elected official in Boulder Colorado. It would be astounding if he had a positive thought about anything that we found good or right. There are elected officials who are gun proponents in both political parties, we all know this. I can't imagine finding any of them in Boulder.

I'm just sorry to say that I live in Boulder County. Pelle has been really good at issuing CCWs. There are only two things wrong with Boulder County: Boulder and Boulder County.
