Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main lawsuits filed by the U.S. Department of Justice in Colorado?

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed two major lawsuits in Colorado. One targets the city of Denver's ban on "assault weapons," and the other challenges the state of Colorado's ban on "large capacity magazines." Both lawsuits argue these bans violate the Second Amendment.

How does the DOJ argue that Colorado's magazine ban violates the Second Amendment?

The DOJ contends that Colorado's ban on "large capacity magazines" is unconstitutional because these magazines, typically holding 20-30 rounds, are standard for popular firearms like the AR-15 and are in common use by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes. Banning them infringes on the right to keep and bear arms.

What is the significance of the "assault weapon" ban lawsuit against Denver?

The lawsuit against Denver's "assault weapon" ban highlights the DOJ's stance that "assault weapon" is a politically charged term, not a technical one. They argue that Denver's ban targets ordinary semi-automatic rifles, like the AR-15, which are widely owned and protected under the Second Amendment.

How are past legal stipulations being used in the Colorado lawsuits?

The DOJ is leveraging factual stipulations made by Colorado in previous cases, such as Colorado Outfitters Association v. Hickenlooper. These admissions confirm the widespread ownership of semi-automatic firearms and standard capacity magazines, supporting the DOJ's argument that these items are in common use and protected.
