FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
On July 2, 2013, over 500 Colorado citizens will engage in an act of mass civil disobedience to demonstrate the foolish, arbitrary, capricious and unconstitutional nature of the HB 13-1224 which will have gone into effect on the day before.
These Colorado citizens will gather in a public park in Aurora, Colorado. Each of these citizens will bring a single unloaded regular capacity magazine of the type that has been in common use in Colorado and nation wide since the 1980s, and which each of them owned and possessed prior to the effective date of the statute. The United States Supreme Court has made CLEAR that law abiding citizens have a constitutional right to keep and bear arms that are in common use. There are millions of such magazines in Colorado, and they have been lawfully owned and used by Colorado citizens for defense, sport, target shooting, competition, and other lawful use for decades. Yet this property will have been transformed overnight into a form of contraband.
At exactly 12:00 noon, these citizens will begin to pass their magazines to each other, one to the other, again and again, in contravention of Colorado's new prohibition against transfer of existing regular capacity magazines.
The number of magazines will not change.
The nature of the people will not change, nor will their non-violent nature.
The fact these people are your friends, neighbors, co-workers, and fellow citizens will not change.
The "lethality" of the crowd will not change.
The danger "on the streets" will not change.
The number of magazines in circulation will not change.
The fact that the magazines have not been utilized to project violence or do any evil will not change.
At any given moment, each person will be holding one magazine that existed on the day the law came into effect, just as they did when they arrived.
But during the course of this organized civil disobedience, the crowd will be committing over 30,000 misdemeanors per minute. They will do so in direct and defiant challenge of a blatantly unconstitutional law, and will be prepared for arrest. In the event of arrests, each person will refuse to plea bargain and will insist on trial by jury. In conjunction, the gun rights organizations listed below will be assisting these individuals' legal defense, and bringing a constitutional challenge of the law both facially and as applied.
This protest will occur contemporaneously with similar protests in other states where politicians have determined to run roughshod over Constitutional rights in an attempt to make a showing of "doing something" about violence, but who lack the courage and political will to take a close look at the mental health system and the systemic failures that resulted from phasing out institutional care while greatly increasing the dispensing of dangerous psychotropic drugs.

Maybe.
I, like many others, am wondering just how much more the productive, non-government supported citizens of the formerly United States will tolerate from the completely out-of-control Federal and certain State government politicians and bureaucrats.
Since Obama's election/re-election the people have been engaged in a form of "civil disobedience" by buying firearms and ammunition in record amounts(at inflated prices too) in response to the ominous, anti-Second Amendment chain-rattling coming from our ruling elites. When the rulers threaten to confiscate, the people take it underground. And when the people take it underground, bad things tend to happen.
As someone once said: "Something somewhere has gotta give." Maybe something begins to give in Colorado come this July.

yeah...it seems like there must be 1000s of fuses in place with more added with every news update. May just be a matter of time before one gets lit.
BHO is going to push it. Either The People will cave or revolt. He wins either way.

You have been in Kalifornistan too long. Here in what's left of America, we're pissed. I think that with this much advanced notice of the event, and what is at stake, 500 will prove to be a conservative estimate.

Care to bet a box of ammo on it?

9mm NATO, or, .45 ACP, or .38 Special, or .380 ACP. People like me are truly, incandescently, angry. If I lived in Colorado, I would be there.

I was going to suggest a case of beer. Just because I couldn't, in good conscience, take ammo from a fellow shooter.

Make sure it is a Dog Fish Head 120 minute IPA or a slab of Sierra Nevada Torpedo
Good luck with the fight there.
Will it work though. We had mass rallies here back in 96 and still got bent over
