A federal judge has granted a temporary restraining order against some of the new gun ordinances passed by the town of Superior last month. Meghan_Lopez reports.
U.S. District Court Judge Raymond Moore ruled on Friday to grant portion of the restraining order after Rocky Mountain Gun Owners filed a lawsuit to block the ordinances.
In the wake of the King Soopers mass shooting in Boulder, Superior and three other cities recently passed their own ordinances.Then, in July, the gun rights group Rocky Mountain Gun Owners filed a lawsuit against the Town of Superior and the Boulder County Sheriff saying the ordinance violates Superior residents and RMGO members’ Second and Fourteenth Amendment rights.
Moore also temporarily blocked the ordinance that required residents who owned an assault weapon before July 1, 2022 to obtain a certificate for it in order to continue to legally possess it. Even after obtaining a certificate, the ordinance stipulates that the gun is only legal in the person’s property or at a gun shop or shooting range.“The temporary restraining order that they issued is actually a really good sign of what's to come,” Rhodes said.
Now, RMGO is planning on seeking temporary restraining orders for other cities and counties that have passed similar legislation until a final decision is reached on the lawsuit. “This was a 6-3 Supreme Court decision. So, it's not the kind of thing that, you know, could change just because one justice retires,” Kopel said.
Rhodes believes the SCOTUS decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen could impact RMGO’s case in Colorado.
