Federal judge upholds Colorado law increasing gun purchasing age

  • A federal judge upheld Colorado's 2023 law restricting firearm sales to buyers aged 21 or older, rejecting lawsuits against Governor Jared Polis in Denver.
  • The law expanded a longstanding age limit from handguns to rifles and shotguns despite challenges citing Second Amendment rights and conflicting circuit court rulings.
  • Judge Philip A. Brimmer affirmed the 10th Circuit's view that age-based purchase restrictions fall outside constitutional protection under a 'safe harbor' exception.
  • Governor Polis stated that common-sense laws promote safety and he aims for Colorado to be among the nation's ten safest states.
  • The ruling supports Colorado's firearm age restrictions as lawful, while similar debates continue nationally amid varied state laws and ongoing legal challenges.
