Federal judge denies bill regarding age limit increase to purchase firearms in Colorado

The latest federal hearing was overturned thanks to the second amendment about raising the age limit to purchase a firearm in Colorado.

Senate Bill 23-169 was about to become law on Monday. However, a complaint filed in the federal district court by Tate Mosgrove, Adrian S. Pineda, and the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners said it was “unconstitutional.”

“Rocky Mountain gun owners and our members were given, frankly, the biggest win that we have had since we flipped the State Senate and 2014,” RMGO Director Taylor Rhodes said to Denver7.

According to the outlet, “U.S. District Court Chief Judge Philip A. Brimmer agreed and granted the injunction.” Saying, “The court agrees with the individual plaintiffs that the Second Amendment includes the right to acquire firearms and, therefore, protects the individual plaintiffs’ proposed conduct.”

In a joint statement, three of the bill’s sponsors — Senator Kyle Mullica, House Majority Leader Monica Duran, and Representative Eliza Hamrick had this to say:

“Increasing the age to purchase a firearm to 21 is a commonsense policy that will prevent gun violence and keep our communities safe, and we disagree with the judge’s interpretation and are disappointed in the decision. We’re proud of our work this year to pass several new laws that will reduce firearm deaths and save lives by expanding Colorado’s “Red Flag Law,” cracking down on ghost guns, holding gun manufacturers accountable, and establishing a three-day waiting period to purchase a firearm.”

The bill would raise the age limit from 18 to 21, exempting those serving in the military or law enforcement.
