99. If that were truly the case

Sun Jun 30, 2013, 01:43 PM

Jun 2013

They should not have allowed ones already owned to be grandfathered. I am sure millions are already in the hands of Coloradans. I have no big issues banning magazines over 30 rounds. I prefer 20 round magazines myself. His stupid 100 round magazine jammed as most of the time they will and they just ruin the weapon from overheating. I have pointed out many times on what I think should be done to help stop mass shootings but some are deaf to any suggestion that does not contain bans on something. I do not have a problem with UBC but it has to be paid for and good compete information entered. This is not the case under current law, can we get that fixed? Why do I need another background check if I already own firearms and also had a background check for my CCL? Talk about waste of resources.
