A Colorado judge blocked Boulder, Colorado, from enforcing a ban on assault-style weapons just 10 days before a man opened fire in a supermarket there, killing 10, including a police officer.

What a (((cohencidence)))!
The ruling didn't stop anything. The court case was about Boulder trying to subvert Colorado law, which they cannot do. He didn't buy the gun in Boulder, it wouldn't have made any difference at all.
It may not have made a difference in the acquisition of the gun, but gun issues are up front in the minds of the citizens. Now they can go "See! See! If we had this ban this wouldn't have happened!" (even though we know it wouldn't have made a difference.)
Opportunity was taken here.
Criminals don't follow laws.
There you go with your facts and logic again!
These things are all about Emotion baby! Your facts and logic BE GONE!
