A federal Judge in Colorado blocked a gun control law that limits the sales of firearms to people 21 and older, holding that it ran afoul of recent Supreme Court precedent.
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.
The gun rights group that sued, Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, challenged the age limit law and another measure that would create a waiting period for all firearm purchases in the state.
