This opinion is mostly standing/housekeeping.
Here's a clean interpretation of the ruling https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/ca10/2...
And the actual ruling [pdf]: https://www.ca10.uscourts.gov/sites/ca10/files/opinions/0101...
I could see this standing, there's no point in the state appealing, as Colorado couldn't reach another appeals circuit, and appealing the Supreme Court limits it to an appellate court and no original jurisdiction so the court has no reason to rule on this
"Neener neener neener" isn't a valid legal theory.
Per the statute text, you may not manufacture a firearm for personal use in Colorado: the statute requires an FFL's license number (which you do not have) to be placed in the serial number string.
FFLs didn't exist in 1790 - therefore this fails Bruen among other standards.
Some states seem to have designated even private roads as “public” if there is uncontrolled access (seems ripe for a court challenge though). But offroading or gated roads would be fine even here.
Some YouTubers have fun importing cheap Chinese cars that aren’t street legal and destroying them with extreme offroading.
Works surprisingly well when there’s no pushback. We’re not controlling news media, we’re just requiring broadcast licenses. It’s not a movie and videogame censor, it’s a state-ran agency for mandatory age ratings. (In at least one Western country that was literally a rebranding.) Or closer to TFA’s locale, we’re not regulating commercial activity within a single state, we’re just controlling its impact on the interstate market. (Don’t worry, it’s all for a good cause, child labor is bad after all.)
