By Your Friendly Outdoor Advocate - October 2023

Hey there, fellow outdoor enthusiasts and firearm aficionados! Today, I’m diving into some exciting news from the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and the Colorado State Shooting Association (CSSA). They’ve teamed up to file a bold new federal lawsuit called Elliott v. Denver. This legal action is shaking things up by challenging Denver’s ban on so-called “assault weapons” and the restrictions on magazines that hold more than 15 rounds. And guess what? This lawsuit coincides with the U.S. Supreme Court granting review in FPC’s own case against Cook County, Illinois, which also targets an “assault weapons” ban. Exciting times for Second Amendment advocates!

Why This Matters

So, why should you care about this lawsuit? Well, if you’re passionate about your rights as a gun owner and enjoy outdoor shooting activities, this case could have far-reaching implications. The ongoing debate over what constitutes an “assault weapon” can impact not just your ability to purchase firearms but also your overall experience in the field.

The Fight for Our Rights

This isn’t just about guns; it’s about standing up for our rights as responsible gun owners. The FPC and CSSA are making sure that our voices are heard loud and clear on a national platform. By challenging these restrictive laws, they're advocating for a more nuanced understanding of firearms in our communities—one that respects both safety and our freedoms.

What’s Next?

As this lawsuit progresses, it will be interesting to see how it unfolds and what it means for gun rights across the country. If you’re keen on staying updated, keep an eye on upcoming court dates and any implications this case might have for other states grappling with similar issues.
