On April 28, 2023, Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed a law duly
enacted by the Colorado General Assembly that established twenty-one (21)
as the minimum age for the sale and purchase of guns in Colorado. The law
was to take effect on August 7, 2023. Plaintiffs, two Coloradans and a
firearms advocacy group, filed suit in federal court and moved for a
preliminary injunction. Without a hearing, on August 7 – the day the law
was to take effect – the district court granted Plaintiffs' motion and enjoined
the enforcement of the law, thus stopping the law from taking effect.
On behalf of the People of Colorado, Governor Polis timely appealed.
We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1).
