A , Colorado , rules banning weapons sales to persons younger than 21 , you then take effect, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday.
The , 10th Circuit Court of Appeals , overturned an order in the petition and ordered the event be sent up to the district judge for further thought.
Gun-rights business Rocky Mountain Gun Owners and two men younger than 21 filed , the complaint against Gov.  , Jared Polis , in 2023, claiming that the law just passed by state lawmakers infringed on their Second Amendment right to bear hands.
U. S. District Court , Judge , Philip Brimmer , granted an order in the case on , Aug. 7, 2023, the same day the rules was set to take effect.
The laws,  , SB23-169, raises the minimum time to buy a weapon in , Colorado , from 18 to 21 years old and makes it a criminal to buy or sell a weapon to anyone younger than 21, with exceptions for active-duty military and police officers.
The district judge “abused its choice” by granting the situation, but the appeals court determined in a 90-page decision that the situation did not meet the requirements for an injunction to stop the legislation from being in effect.
While someone younger than 21 years old wanting to buy a gun is covered by the Second Amendment, it does n’t hold up because” the regulation is presumptively lawful” and the presented arguments did not rebut that presumption, Judge , Carolyn McHugh , wrote in a concurring opinion.
Rocky Mountain Gun Owners released a statement , about the ruling on X, criticizing the court for” (recharacterizing ) this law into a mere commercial regulation instead of a constitutional right infringement”.
The class will continue to fight the decision, authorities said Tuesday.
Representatives from Rocky Mountain Gun Owners said in a statement that” we look forward to finally removing this law from the books because it very plainly violates both the Second Amendment and the Supreme Court’s norms.”
