Friend,
This last week in gun rights has
been marked by MAJOR developments in FPC’s ongoing litigation to
terminate bans on so-called “assault weapons!”
First, this week we fought hard during Oral Arguments in
our AWB case, Cheeseman v.
Platkin, which, in a big twist, could create a
circuit split!
In case you’re not up on circuit
splits, this is when courts fundamentally disagree on an issue. So,
for example, a law could be held both Constitutional &
Unconstitutional in different circuits.
Here’s where it gets exciting: A
circuit split in Cheeseman
could prompt the Supreme
Court to weigh in on the issue of “assault weapon” bans, which would
be EPIC!
Secondly, we are now less than 2 weeks away from the
government’s response to our cert petition in FPC’s AWB case,
Viramontes v. Cook
County!
As you know, we’ve asked SCOTUS to
intervene in that case, and now we’re expecting what could be a brutal
attack on our case from the government.
That’s why we’re rushing to prepare
and hopefully head off any of the government’s attempts to keep
Viramontes
away from the Supreme
Court.
When you add it all up, you now
have TWO immediate avenues for SCOTUS to potentially intervene in FPC
“assault weapons” cases!
In addition to all that, we also
FILED a major new lawsuit against California’s recently signed Glock
Ban.
And
if you want to help us push the issue of gun bans straight to SCOTUS,
you can contribute directly to those efforts by donating
here!
If you give right now, you’ll even be entered to WIN a
Springfield Armory Kuna with attachments as a thank you!
