A federal judge in Colorado has issued a significant ruling in a lawsuit challenging 'assault weapon' and 'large capacity' magazine (LCM) bans enacted by multiple municipalities across the state. On July 17, 2025, the court determined that the plaintiffs have standing to challenge the bans on current and future possession of LCMs, as well as the bans on future possession of 'assault weapons' in at least some of the cities. However, the ruling did not grant standing to challenge the bans on current possession of 'assault weapons'. This decision, while complex, marks a crucial procedural step forward for Second Amendment advocates in Colorado.
