A federal judge in Colorado has blocked a gun control law that restricts firearm sales to individuals aged 21 and older, stating that it violates a recent Supreme Court ruling. The chief judge for the U.S. District of Colorado, Phillip Brimmer, ruled in favor of a firearms advocacy group that filed a lawsuit to prevent the enforcement of Senate Bill 169. Despite the law taking effect, the judge has halted its enforcement, citing the failure to meet the standards set by the Supreme Court's 2022 decision in Bruen v. New York Rifle & Pistol Association.
Phillip Brimmer, chief judge for the U.S. District of Colorado, ruled Monday in favor of a firearms advocacy group that sued in order to block the law known as Senate Bill 169. While the law took effect Monday, the judge blocked it from enforcement, ruling it fails the test established in the Supreme Court's 2022 decision Bruen v. New York Rifle & Pistol Association.
Brimmer wrote that it's still an"open question" as to how courts should weight the historical understanding of the Second Amendment at the time that the 14th was adopted, but the state failed to provide evidence that at any point in the founding era that a total ban on sales of guns to firearms was"consistent with the right to bear arms."
Taylor Rhodes, executive director of the group, vowed in January to file suits over any laws RMGO sees as a violation of Second Amendment rights, especially following the sweeping scrutiny against gun control measures in lower courts following the Bruen decision.
