For far too long the Second Amendment has been treated like a second-class right, with local politicians banning guns in states and cities across the country.
We’re announcing that is all coming to an end.
The National Association for Gun Rights is filing lawsuits in nearly half of the federal court circuits to eliminate unconstitutional gun bans everywhere!
This nationwide legal blitz aims to take out every single ban on semi-automatic weapons and standard capacity magazines for good.
Fellow Patriot, the Supreme Court just handed us a 4-ton wrecking ball in their recent landmark ruling New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.
That ruling said that lower courts can’t turn the Second Amendment into a meaningless right -- and that from now on they have to rule based on the text and historical context of the Second Amendment!
I can’t overstate how huge of an opportunity this is for us.
Now it is up to gun owners like you and me to enforce this ruling by hauling every single California-style gun control law that’s ever been wrongly upheld back to court.
That’s why we’re filing five new lawsuits – in addition to existing lawsuits we have in Colorado.
Each of these carefully-crafted suits seeks to overturn a so-called “assault weapons” ban and magazine ban.
That’s right.
NAGR is enforcing that pro-gun Bruen ruling nationwide.
Here are the unconstitutional laws we’re filing lawsuits against:
***Massachusetts’s “assault weapons” ban and mag ban We’re seeking to overturn the same assault weapons ban signed into law in 2006 by then-Governor Mitt Romney, and the magazine ban. A win in the 1st Circuit will protect gun rights across the upper Northeast.
***Connecticut’s “assault weapons” ban and mag ban In 2013, Connecticut lawmakers took their wrath out on law-abiding gun owners by expanding an already draconian gun ban to include over 100 more commonly owned guns, and magazines of over 10 rounds.
While previous liberal courts upheld the law, there is no way this law can withstand the precedent established in the Bruen decision. Taking it down could restore freedom to the 2nd Circuit, including Vermont and New York.
*** Hawaii’s “assault pistol” ban and mag ban This gun ban is so sweeping it bans pistols with common attachments owned by millions of Americans, and bans magazines holding more than 10 rounds.
The California-heavy 9th Circuit doesn’t have a gun-friendly history, but recent signals indicate that all could change. Winning here could put a stop to gun bans in California, Oregon, and Washington State too.
***Highland Park, Illinois’ “assault weapons” ban and mag ban Illinois municipal bureaucrats have long sought to punish law-abiding gun owners with a patchwork of local gun bans on top of already restrictive state gun control laws. Winning here could put an end to that practice across the entire 7th Circuit (Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana).
***Naperville, Illinois’ just-enacted AR-15 sale ban Perhaps the only thing more draconian than the gun ban in Highland Park is how local officials just a few weeks ago in Naperville, IL flipped the bird at over 100 local residents who showed up to protest a new ordinance that would ban the sale of AR-15s and put locally-owned gun shops out of business.
My exact words to our lawyers: “Let’s sue those scumbags too.”
*** Colorado statewide mag ban and local gun bans And, as I mentioned before, we’re already in court against Colorado’s 2013 magazine ban and four local governments in and around Boulder County.
Fellow Patriot, I almost left out the best part… we are already WINNING!
Two separate district court judges – one appointed by Obama and one appointed by Biden – issued temporary restraining orders resulting in all FOUR local Colorado governments unable to enforce their unconstitutional gun bans.
Why?
Because in the words of these Democrat-appointed judges, we have a “substantial” or “strong likelihood of success on the merits.”
BAM!
Even the Left is forced to admit that under Bruen, the courts actually have to follow the Second Amendment.
We’re winning. This may be the BEST chance gun owners have had in a generation to reverse the damage that the left has done to us in deep-blue states and across the country.
And that’s why we’re going after as many of these gun bans as we can that aren’t already being challenged or re-challenged in court.
Fellow Patriot - these lawsuits have the potential to set precedent in over half of the country, and even could make it all the way up to the Supreme Court too!
After all, our enemies are backed by billionaires who have already dispatched some of the worst gun-banning attorneys in the nation on us to stop our suits in their tracks.
Literally - the Everytown lawyers are already lining up in Colorado to take us down.
But if I can count on your support, I know we can win.
Fellow Patriot, we’re suing everywhere for Second Amendment freedoms, and with your support we can put the gun grabbers everywhere on notice:
If they try to ban guns or magazines, they’re next. We’ll see ‘em in court.
For Freedom,
Dudley Brown President National Foundation for Gun Rights
P.S. It’s time to end gun bans once and for all!
We’re on a nationwide blitz to take out every single ban on semi-automatic weapons and standard capacity magazines.
To that end, we just launched lawsuits in nearly half of the federal circuits to eliminate these unconstitutional gun bans!
