Judge halts age limit on Colorado gun purchases as lawsuit continues

A new law restricting gun purchases to people 21 and older is not in effect while a broader lawsuit challenging its constitutionality plays out, a district court judge ruled Monday afternoon. In granting the preliminary injunction, District Court Judge Philip A. Brimmer said Gov. Jared Polis “failed to meet his burden to demonstrate that SB23-169 is consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearms regulation.” The individual plaintiffs, he added, “have demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits” of their case. The lawsuit challenged the age limit law as well as another measure that would institute a waiting period for all firearm purchases in the state.
