[BoulderCouncilHotline] Re: Ordinance 8245

[Carr, Thomas]

As you requested.


  1.  I am not aware of any competitive shooting clubs in Boulder.  That is, clubs that have a shooting range.  The Boulder Rifle Club is north of the city on unincorporated Boulder County.   Assault weapons as defined in the proposed ordinance are used at the Boulder Rifle Club.
  2.  I am attaching an abstract of a study published in the Journal of Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology.  The results showed that military members were more prone to lifetime arrests and overall substance abuse.  The study found that these results were driven largely by a subgroup of individuals who were discharged from the military early in their careers.   I am also attaching a study from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics entitled Veterans in Prison and Jail, 2011-2012.  According to this report the incarceration rate for veterans is lower than that for non-veterans, although a greater percentage of veterans than nonveterans were sentenced for violent offenses.

Tom:



At or before our meeting tomorrow night, please provide city council with the following information:



  1.  The number of competitive shooting clubs in Boulder in which assault weapons (as defined in the ordinance) are used.
  2.  Reports or studies that show whether the rate of violent crimes committed by retired members of the military is different from the rate of violent crimes committed by the general population.


Thanks,



Bob
