DENVER — No bump stocks have been turned over to Denver authorities after the city banned the accessories used in last year’s mass shooting in Las Vegas that killed 58 people and injured hundreds.
Denver Police police last month invited city residents to turn in any bump stocks in their possession but Denverite reports that none have been handed over.
The ban on bump stocks approved by the city council in January was considered largely symbolic. Denver had previously banned the types of semi-automatic rifles that can be modified with bump stocks.
A bump stock is a device that can increase the speed in which a gun can be fired.
The council also made it illegal in most situations to possess magazines that hold more than 15 rounds of ammunition.
Fines under the new Denver law could be as much as $1,000 and up to 180 days in jail.
One of the unintended consequences of enacting law for the symbolic gestures is to increase the publics disrespect for the law in general. A law banning as in this case bump stocks is an example of a “solution” in search of a problem to solve/fix. There is a commonly held out of touch with reality delusion that the passage of another law will lead us to a more utopian society, and the public will comply because their presumed betters told them they are ordered to do so. Our politicians have the delusion, that they know how best to micromanage every one else’s lives.
Sarcasm???
Their little” law” if enacted, enforced etcetera,et. AL. If enforced outside of due process is against the damn law
“Denver had previously banned the types of semi-automatic rifles that can be modified with bump stocks.”
