Guess my only question is why the only made it a misdemeanor if it was an illegal transfer.

IMO, it should be a felony.

If you tire of being lumped in with the right-wingers, I'd suggest you stop standing with them. Robb Feb 2013 #33

Depends on how much the fee turns out to be sir pball Feb 2013 #37

CO's constitution requires these sorts of laws be designed to pay for themselves from the get-go. nt Robb Feb 2013 #40

Which is entirely reasonable sir pball Feb 2013 #41

Actually, don't get me started. That part's screwy. Robb Feb 2013 #42

I'm not parsing it as strict limits on costs sir pball Feb 2013 #44

I agree, with this law it won't matter much. Robb Feb 2013 #45

Bad analogy though sir pball Feb 2013 #46

If the funding works that way, you're right. Robb Feb 2013 #50

The way I'm reading it, that's how it works sir pball Feb 2013 #53

Great bill. aptal Feb 2013 #38

Because it's completely redundant sir pball Feb 2013 #47

Making it a felony would have at least detered it somewhat. aptal Feb 2013 #51

How would it deter it more than the Federal crime it already is? sir pball Feb 2013 #52

It is not a federal crime to transfer a firearm. aptal Feb 2013 #55
