"Colorado's ban on certain magazines is political virtue signaling at the expense of Americans' constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Under my direction, the Division's Second Amendment Section will continue to defend law-abiding Americans' rights against unconstitutional restrictions on their right to possess arms which are owned by tens of millions of their fellow citizens."
"The department would file lawsuits if they did not voluntarily comply with demands to cease enforcement of bans on semiautomatic rifles and large-capacity magazines by 5 p.m. Eastern time Tuesday."
"Both lawsuits say enforcement of the state and city policies deprive citizens of their Second Amendment rights. The lawsuits make identical requests of the court to prohibit Denver and Colorado from enforcing their bans."
The Trump administration filed a lawsuit against Colorado over its law limiting large-capacity magazines, asserting that such restrictions infringe on Second Amendment rights. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon criticized the ban as political virtue signaling that undermines constitutional rights. The lawsuit demands that Colorado and Denver cease enforcement of their bans on semiautomatic rifles and large-capacity magazines. Both lawsuits argue that these policies deprive citizens of their rights and seek to prohibit enforcement while requiring new policies to be adopted.
