Wasting no time: Challenge to gun bills in the works

[Teufelhund]

DENVER (CBS4)- There are already legal challenges being planned to two of the gun control bills signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper on Wednesday.
The lead plaintiffs are sheriffs from around Colorado. They claim the laws violate not only the Second Amendment, the right to keep and bear arms. but the 14th Amendment which requires laws to be easy to understand.

Good.....does anyone have any info on Holland & Hart getting in on this on behalf of Magpul?

Magpul has copy a letter to Hickenlooper drafted by Holland & Hart posted on their facebook page:

Here is the legal review conducted by our law firm and delivered to Gov Hickenlooper last week arguing against HB 1224 as both bad policy and bad, messy legislation:

That's why I'm wondering if they'll actually file suit.

Note that Holland and Hart also represents the state on several matters. So there would be a conflict of interest in there.
