Apologies for using the term "overturned". The ordinance was blocked by the Boulder County District Court, meaning it could not be enforced. The next step would be to the Colorado State Supreme Court should the Boulder city attorney choose to appeal.
I think I'm going to order the parts for an AR pistol build this week. Once the M5M figures out that this was an "assault" pistol the push will come to outlaw them, or at a minimum the ATF classifies them as SBRs and/or bans the braces as they are a defacto stock. If it happens I'm hoping that existing owners will be grandfathered, but you never know. Might be like bumpstocks.
He's got his dates wrong..
The muzzie bought the rifle 6 days ago on March 16. The Boulder AWB was overturned on March 12. The shooting was on March 22.
Edit: It wasn't a rifle - it was a Ruger AR-556 which is an AR pistol.
Thank you, just to be clear, it was already overturned by the Colorado Supreme Court?

Thank you for replying, this info would mean that Jim was partly correct, this may well influence the state SC, as well as the Fed.
You are correct.
Thanks for the link. I think the model 8573 Flag Series is particularly sexy...
Yeah, that's a cool looking weapon.
