The law, known as SB23-169 or\u200b the &#8220;18 to 20-year-old gun\u200c ban,&#8221; was set to go \u2064into effect but \u200bwas halted by U.S. District of Colorado Chief Judge Philip A.

Judge \u200dBrimmer\u200c agreed with the organization&#8217;s argument, stating that the plaintiffs had shown a likelihood of success in proving that the Second Amendment applies \u200cto 18- to 20-year-olds.<\/p>\n<p>The law was signed by Colorado Governor Jared Polis and\u2064 the state legislature in response to a \u200btragic shooting \u200bincident. However, the RMGO immediately challenged its \u2063constitutionality, leading \u200dto\u200b the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-to-announce-sweeping-gun-control-restrictions\/\" title=\"Biden to Announce Sweeping Gun-Control Restrictions\">recent court ruling<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>RMGO&#8217;s executive director, Taylor Rhodes, expressed satisfaction with the judge&#8217;s decision, stating, &#8220;We \u2063won&#8217;t stop\u200d fighting until every <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/federal-judge-halts-colorado-gun-law-raising-purchase-age-to-21-years-old-hours-before-taking-effect\/\" title=\"Federal judge blocks Colorado gun law raising purchase age to 21, just before it goes into effect.\">single unconstitutional anti-gun law<\/a> is \u2063struck down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, supporters of the law, including Majority House Leader Democrat \u2063Monica Duran, argue that it is necessary to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/david-hogg-losing-his-pillow-fight-proves-you-can-either-promote-or-protect-children-in-politics-you-cant-do-both\/\" title=\"David Hogg Losing His Pillow Fight Proves You Can Either Promote Or Protect Children In Politics.
