Independent Journalism in Denver Needs You
We need to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
“This is not a protest!” exclaimed Ryan Tuleja, one of several dozen Second Amendment defenders who gathered outside the Colorado State Capitol on the day a ban of high-capacity magazines went into effect.

The event was more of an act of civil disobedience, with people in attendance selling and swapping prohibited magazines — all in front of the eyes of a local law enforcement agency.
“This law is unenforceable,” Tuleja shouted. “They know it’s unenforceable!”
Officers stood idly as these acts took place.
