Judge grants gun ownership group restraining order against Superior

Jul. 25—A U.S. District Court judge on Friday issued the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners a temporary restraining order preventing the town of Superior from enforcing its recently enacted ordinance against certain types of assault weapons.

The ordinance, passed in June, also limits the possession and discharge of firearms, the possession and sale of illegal weapons, and the carrying of concealed weapons.

In a statement released on social media Friday, the RMGO Executive Director Taylor Rhodes called the temporary restraining order "a massive win for gun rights in the State of Colorado." The gun ownership group is also suing the town.

"Today the judge affirmed what we already knew to be true, under the Second Amendment and the Bruen ruling, the Town of Superior doesn't have a leg to stand on," Rhodes' statement continued.
