I am curious as to how someone with that kind of record got a gun. I am not saying I don’t believe how it could happen, I am saying that I curious about this as a case study of how someone who should not have a gun got one. And if they were smart the gun rights people would be all over cases like this to contribute to a solution. Otherwise the solution is simply “no guns.” ---

It looks like [a judge ruled Boulder’s restrictions](https://coloradosun.com/2021/03/19/judge-rules-colorado-cities-cannot-enact-their-own-gun-restrictions/) could not stand, only state or federal laws of the type could be allowed, and enjoined those local ordinances.

I’m involved in the local filmmaking community. An acquaintance of mine, whose day job is at a small ammunition manufacturer, posted on Facebook looking for a documentary filmmaker who was interested in helping with a movie about how the company’s Second Amendment rights were being infringed. The little Podunk town this company is in is allegedly trying to drive them out of business. Luckily this little Podunk town has a local paper and radio station and posts their town meetings on YouTube. A few minutes of googling revealed that the town is refusing to renew the ammo company’s business license because they’re doing industrial manufacturing in a commercial zone. A fucking zoning dispute. Zoning. Not a constitutional beef. From what I saw of the town meeting, the company seems to have a reasonable claim that the zoning commissioner applied the zoning restrictions incorrectly, or at least that the commissioner didn’t do due diligence before making a ruling. OK. But… casting this as a Second Amendment issue is just silly. And, the Podunk town has an appeals process, which the company is following. Anyway, it’s a tiny story of a tiny company in a tiny town, but a good example of how any minor inconvenience or setback to the Second Amendment Fundamentalists is a constitutional crisis. ---

An adult boyfriend and girlfriend are arguing loudly in public. Three male neighbors approach the couple to break up the fight. One of the men later claims the boyfriend was choking the girlfriend, but the girlfriend denies this. In any case, the boyfriend gets a gun to warn off the three men. One of the three men then leaves, gets his own gun, and returns to kill the man. So… Defensive Gun Use, right? That’s the great thing. No matter who wound up dead, it’s a Defensive Gun Use!
