Federal appeals court keeps Colorado's under-21 gun ban on ice

Second Amendment advocates won a big victory on Monday as the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Colorado’s law forbidding gun sales to adults under the age of 21 cannot be enforced while the measure is being challenged in court, rejecting an appeal by Gov. Jared Polis, who was seeking to enforce the prohibition.

Back on August 7th, just a day before the new law was set to take effect, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction requested by Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, but Polis quickly appealed that decision.

In their brief two-page order, appellate judges Carolyn McHugh and Nancy Moritz (both Obama appointees, incidentally) concluded that the governor had “failed to show his entitlement to a stay” under the factors necessary. Those factors include Polis establishing that “he is likely to succeed on the merits, that he is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief, that the balance of equities tips in his favor, and that an injunction is in the public interest.”

All the faggot soy bois agender transitioning ballless freaks don’t give a damn about their right to defend themselves. The people of Colorado no longer deserve to be defended by the rest of the US since they are not willing to defend themselves. Congress should cut all funding for law enforcement in Colorado.

If those under 21 cannot be trusted with a firearm, how in the hell can we trust them with a ballot? The far-left commies are hypocrites.

Hold on Buckie, this Coloradoan votes against any and all anti freedom ballot issues that we must endure every election cycle as well as against any and all DemoRAT candidates. The DemoRAT destruction of this once great state continues with few checks. Those of us trapped behind the lines believe there are correct minded patriots that will come to our aid in emergencies, if needed.
