There is no basis for this lawsuit. Sheriffs in Colorado are politically appointed.

I've examined the dynamics of guns on this blog more than was ever necessary to come to an understanding as what separates legal and illegal guns. This is all political. The words are not ambiguous at all. If the gun has a clip that can be readily converted to hold more than 15 rounds IT CANNOT BE SOLD. There is no confusion in those words.

...Sheriffs in 54 of Colorado’s 64 counties (click here) filed a lawsuit in May seeking to overturn both laws, arguing that they violate the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. But it’s the magazine limit that will be under scrutiny when U.S. District Judge Marcia Krieger hears arguments on whether to grant a preliminary injunction on the law while the lawsuit advances. A written ruling will be issued later.

Both laws took effect July 1. Most of the sheriffs behind the lawsuit represent rural, gun-friendly parts of the state.

The lawsuit contends the magazine law lacks clarity because it bans magazines that are “designed to be readily converted” to hold more than 15 rounds....

This is where ANY Sheriff's department needs to keep their focus and not playing politics with voters.

Sgt. Brandon Paudert (left) and Officer Bill Evans (right) of the West Memphis(Arkansas) Police Department were shot to death May 20, 2010, following a traffic stop. The shooter, 16-year-old Joseph Kane, was armed with an AK-47 semiautomatic assault rifle. Kane and his father, Jerry, were killed in a gunfight with police in a nearby Walmart parking lot. The Kanes were reportedly  members of the anti-government Sovereign Citizens Movement.

When this level of LETHALITY reaches the public and regularly results in the 
death of citizens and police; legislators are obligated to take action to stop it.

...The flood of militarized weapons exemplifies (click here) the firearms industry’s strategy of marketing enhanced lethality, or killing power, to stimulate sales.
The resulting widespread increase in killing power is reflect ed in the toll of gun death and injury in the United States—a relentless count that every year takes 10 times the number of lives as the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001....

Additionally, we already know there can be regulation of guns in the USA by court precedent. There is no legal reason to carry out a lawsuit without substance except politics.

This weapon has no place on the streets of the USA. Background checks and limiting the weapons in cities is required to bring down death rates in the USA. What is an AK-15 and a school full of children doing in the same place?

...Take the AR-15, (click here) the auto-loading rifle that Adam Lanza used at Sandy Hook. The AR-15 is the civilian equivalent of the military M-16 assault rifle. It’s one of the most popular assault-style rifles on the market today....
