Second Amendment advocacy groups file lawsuits against 2 more Colorado cities and Boulder County for unconstitutional restrictions on ‘assault weapons’ and ‘large-capacity’ magazines – By Candace Hathaway (The Blaze) / Aug 19, 2022
On Thursday, Second Amendment groups filed lawsuits against two Colorado cities and one county after local leaders attempted to restrict gun rights, reported the Associated Press.
Rocky Mountain Gun Owners and the National Foundation for Gun Rights are suing the cities of Boulder and Louisville, as well as Boulder County, for trying to place heavy restrictions on semi-automatic firearms and magazine capacity. In the complaint, the advocacy groups addressed the use of the term “assault weapon” in Boulder’s new code.
The lawsuit stated, “The term ‘assault weapon’ as used in the Code is not a technical term used in the firearms industry or community for firearms commonly available to civilians. Instead, the term is a rhetorically charged political term meant to stir the emotions of the public against those persons who choose to exercise their constitutional right to possess certain semi-automatic firearms that are commonly owned by millions of law-abiding American citizens for lawful purposes.”
