VICTORY! CRPA Beats Back 1st & 2nd Amendment Violations!
CRPA is thrilled to celebrate a rousing victory in the case of Junior Shooting Sports Magazines, Inc. v. Bonta, our case challenging the ban on any marketing of firearms or firearms-related products or events that could be construed as “targeting minors.”
“This full and complete victory is a result of the tenacity of the CRPA and our attorneys, who pushed this case not once but twice through the Ninth Circuit,” stated CRPA President & General Counsel Chuck Michel. “The state recklessly shoved aside both the First and Second Amendments, but AB 2571 has been rightfully struck down.”
The permanent injunction issued by the Central District Court on Tuesday bars the state from enforcing any of the provisions of AB 2571, a bill passed in the wake of the Bruen decision.
News coverage of the final outcome distorts the manner in which this victory was achieved. CRPA filed its case as soon as AB 2571 was passed, even waiting as the legislature was granted additional time to work on the new law. Other cases followed, but it was the decision in Junior Shooting Sports that led to the final outcome.
Victories like this take time and effort! Your support has been crucial every step of the way. THANK YOU!
