A federal lawsuit has been filed challenging Colorado’s recent “ghost gun” ban, led by the National Association for Gun Rights, the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, and three local gun owners, as reported by The Denver Post. This legal action is directed against Governor Jared Polis and raises concerns about the law’s alignment with the Second Amendment.
Ghost guns, described as unregulated, unserialized, and untraceable firearms, are at the center of this contentious issue. The law, which became effective on Monday, specifically targets unserialized firearms and their components, a move that the plaintiffs argue violates constitutional rights.
Taylor D. Rhodes, the executive director of the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, expressed strong opposition to the law, stating, “This law is an outright assault on the constitutional rights of peaceable Coloradans. It’s not just an overreach; it’s a direct defiance of our Second Amendment freedoms.”
The lawsuit reflects ongoing debates over gun control measures and their compatibility with the Second Amendment, setting the stage for legal deliberations on this important issue.
