DENVER — Colorado sheriffs vowed to appeal Thursday’s ruling by a federal judge upholding the constitutionality of the state’s 2013 gun-control laws limiting ammunition-magazine capacity to 15 rounds and mandating background checks for all gun purchases.
Weld County Sheriff John Cooke said at a press conference that while the sheriffs respect the judge’s decision, “we believe that it is plainly wrong on the law and on the facts.”
“We will take this case to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, and if necessary, to the United States Supreme Court,” said Cooke.

Don’t need to appeal it at all. Sure, appeal away just for kicks.

July 4. Independence from what?
Bump. John Cooke is my Sheriff.
***Simply do not enforce it. It’s. That. Easy.***
Eventually evil men will be voted into office and they will enforce it,
Remember when Cali passed their “assault rifle ban”? The sheriffs said they would NOT enforce it. Now new sheriffs are enforcing it.
—exactly—and that’s why all laws should have expiration dates—that way the bad ones would disappear, instead of staying on the books forever-—
At the time the lawsuit was announced they also said that they would not enforce those laws.
It's more than that though, these laws have to be repealed or overturned.
“The Democrat-controlled state legislature passed the hotly disputed measure with no Republican vote”
Where is that everlasting chorus who claim:
“There is no difference between the two parties!”
It seems at though there was a clear difference in this case.
