I don’t think any BBs live near Boulder.
Sprots is in Durango and Fanny in or near Colorado Springs.
My daughter lives in Thornton, about 18 miles from that particular store.

Boulder’s assault weapons ban, meant to stop mass shootings, was blocked 10 days before the attack at a King Soopers grocery store.

Darn. If only the ban had been in place, the guy would have gone somewhere else, or not even done anything in the first place, because I'm sure laws matter to him.

If the ban had been in place, someone might have called the police when they saw him walking around with an AR-15.

Someone probably did call the police. my understanding is that the first fatality was an officer. Who wouldn't have been able to do much because Colorado is an open carry state so until the guy actually started shooting (or at least started openly threatening people), he wasn't doing anything illegal. --Bob

Under Boulder's law that was canceled by the courts, it was illegal.

What are you saying was/is illegal? And was it or is it?

The weapon would have been illegal.
Denver Post wrote:The Boulder City Council in 2018 passed two ordinances banning the possession of assault weapons and large-capacity magazines in the wake of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Flordia, that left 17 people dead.
The city defined large-capacity magazines as “any ammunition-feeding device with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.” The assault weapon ban includes certain pistols and semi-automatic rifles with pistol grips, a folding or telescoping stock, or any protruding grip that allows a weapon to be stabilized with the non-trigger hand.
The council created a permit system for people who owned such a gun prior to the ordinance, allowing them to legally keep the weapons. People breaking the ordinance could face fines of up to $1,000 and up to 90 days in jail.

I think the penalties for what Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa did are worse than $1,000 and 90 days in jail and yet he did it. I don't think banning citizens from having this type of weapon would have made any difference.

My Lakewood friend and all her family are safe. Her grandson works in a King Soopers in Arvada, well away from this particular incident.
It's my understanding that the first fatality was a young man who had just repaired a coffee machine for the in-store concession and was sitting in his car completing the follow-up.
We're all heartbroken and working for national gun safety legislation.

Ditto on horrific. Work on mental health legislation too.
