In an all-too-predictable pattern of events where District-level federal courts interpret Bruen properly and rule in favor of the 2nd Amendment and then the appeals court quickly overturns the lower court’s ruling, Californians just lost out on some great, newly-restored freedom. But the fight is not over.
Some states, New York in this case, do not respect out of state concealed carry permits or issue them to non-residents wishing to carry a handgun in those states. GOA has just filed suit against New York to force them to allow non-residents to carry firearms within its borders. Potential for nationwide concealed carry?
Judge Roger Benitez, Federal Judge in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, has just fully enjoined a California law requiring background checks on all ammunition purchases.
Last year, devious Massachusetts State Representative Michael Day put on an 11-part Gun Law Listening Tour, pretending to hear both sides of the anti-gun/pro-gun positions. Immediately after, he put out a lengthy bill that strips your gun rights like nothing we’ve ever seen before. It failed.
Round two is being voted on tomorrow, Thursday, Feb 1.
New York State legislators have an egregious new bill on the table that demonizes New York gun owners and will punish them and out-of-state dealers for trying to save a few bucks on ammunition. We all know Kathy Hochul will sign just about any bit of gun control legislation that makes it to her desk. Remember, its much easier to kill a bad bill before it becomes law than it is to get it overturned after it becomes law.
Today, the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) filed a federal lawsuit challenging the prohibition on firearm possession for marijuana users. Does this prohibition have any historical backing or will it fall under Bruen?
Another gift from Bruen today. A three-judge panel of the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit correctly interpreted the Bruen ruling in recognizing that 18-20 year olds do not have a different set of rights than those aged 21 and older.
First you can’t carry in all these “sensitive places” and then you can and then you can’t again and then you can again… The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which is well-known for its rabid anti-gun vitriol, again reversed itself. Californians CAN strap their guns on again.
As expected, a motions panel of the largely anti-gun, anti-rights, 9th Circuit Court of Appeals stayed the preliminary injunction that would have prevented California’s carry killer bill, SB2, from going into effect. Unfortunately, SB2 is now in effect statewide.
Law-abiding Californians just got the best Christmas gift: Firearms Freedom! Citing the very similar New Jersey carry killer law making virtually the entire state off limits to legal concealed carry, a Federal Judge enjoined California’s SB2 carry killer bill, stopping it from going into effect on Jan 1, 2024.
With the force of the Bruen ruling behind them, Second Amendment groups have brought a much needed challenge against the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department and the California Attorney General. At stake is the constitutionality of the abusive amount of time it takes to receive a concealed carry permit.
Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett just issued a directive to Illinois and the city of Naperville. They have until December 6th to submit their arguments supporting their “assault weapons” ban.
