Colorado Ceasefire Statement on Trump DOJ Lawsuits

As you probably already know, the U.S. Department of Justice this month filed two lawsuits in Colorado—one against the City of Denver and one against the State—targeting an assault weapons ban and a high-capacity magazine ban, respectively. The AW ban was passed in Denver in 1989, and the state high-capacity magazine ban passed in 2013.

We believe these lawsuits, both against bans that have already been found to be constitutional (various municipal assault weapons bans in several Federal Appeals Courts, and the Colorado high-capacity magazine ban by the Colorado Supreme Court in 2020 see Denver response here), are nothing more than a performative gesture to the gun lobby.

Colorado is all-too-familiar with the tragedies these kinds of weapons and devices enable, including the Columbine and Aurora Theater shootings. Colorado Ceasefire is absolutely committed to continuing our work for common-sense solutions to the gun violence crisis through public and media outreach, education, and legislative action. We have been in contact with state and city leaders to provide resources on these issues, and have reached out to our national partners to identify successful tactics that other groups have employed against similar tactics.

The filing of these suits is just the first step in what is bound to be a long judicial process, and we promise to be there every step of the way.

It’s the same fight to save lives.

A myth we should retire this May:
"It's a mental health issue, not a gun issue."

Here's what's actually true: every country has mental illness. But, only the United States has this much gun violence.

Studies show mental illness contributes to only about 4% of all violence, and the contribution to gun violence is even lower. People with mental health challenges are far more likely to be victims of gun violence than perpetrators.

This is one of the most persistent and damaging myths in the gun violence conversation. We've broken down this one and several others, with the facts behind each: https://grandparentsforgunsafety.org/gun-violence-facts/myths-vs-reality/
