Peter Krumholz of the Rocky Mountain Appellate Blog has this post about an interesting Second Amendment case recently briefed in the Tenth Circuit.
The appellants are challenging a Colorado statute that (a) bans magazines with more than 15 rounds and (b) “requires, among other things, that if a law-abiding citizen wishes to loan a firearm to a friend, they must first go to a gun store together for a background check; when the firearm is returned, they must repeat the process.” The district court rejected their Second Amendment challenge.
Apparently, this will be the Tenth Circuit’s first opportunity to consider a Second Amendment challenge to generally applicable gun laws since the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in District of Columbia v. Heller.
We’ll be watching this appeal with great interest…
