Awesome, Happy Monday

I was just coming here to post this!

Fairfax, Va.— The National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) today announced it is supporting, along with the California Rifle and Pistol Association (CRPA), an important Second Amendment lawsuit challenging California’s newly expanded Assault Weapons Control Act (AWCA).

The suit, Rupp v. Becerra, seeks to have the courts declare the AWCA unconstitutional because the ill-conceived law will do nothing to stop terrorists or violent criminals, and infringes on the right to keep and bear arms under the Second Amendment.

...

Oh, and don't miss this part:

Multiple lawsuits challenging other aspects of the unconstitutional laws passed last year are also in the works and will be filed in the coming weeks. Rupp is the first of a number of NRA/CRPA sponsored lawsuits soon to be filed that will challenge the “gunmageddon” bills, as well as the new laws enacted by Proposition 63

This fight is just getting started.

Folks, these lawsuits are not inexpensive to undertake. I will continue to support NRA & CRPA financially. Hope others do so as well.

[CalAlumnus]

Has anyone posted the filing yet? Interested in reading their actual argument.

[Bhobbs]

I'm interested to see how this goes, not that I have any faith in the courts to have anything resembling the honesty to rule correctly in this case. I'm sure the twisting and turning they do to rule against it will be fun to watch.

Let's use this one, in the litigation forum, for specific case-related info.

The rest ought to go to the Politics and Activism thread, http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s....php?t=1327871

ETA, I expect we'll need several paired threads in that arrangement...

Seems unlikely - since it starts in a US District Court, ordinarily it runs through a Circuit Court of Appeal - in this case the well-reviled 9th - past suit timings suggest around 2 years at each stage.

That would seem normal for this type of action; six to eight years taking into account delays, filings, hearings, enbanc panels, stonewalling, etc. Hopefully by the time it approaches the outer Galaxy of SCOTUS, the court will have changed in our favor. Good luck, but I will still contribute.

Adjusted time frame a bit...
