Mountain Gun Owners v. Polis

Summary

The court affirmed the judgment upholding Colorado’s large-capacity-magazine restrictions under the Colorado Constitution. It held that the statute’s definition does not cover every magazine with a removable base pad and that the restriction is a reasonable exercise of police power that neither has the purpose nor the effect of nullifying the right to bear arms in self-defense. The court also held that federal Second Amendment precedent does not control interpretation of Colorado’s distinct constitutional provision.
