Junior Sports Magazines, Inc. v. Bonta (Challenge to AB 2571) (Filed July 8, 2022)

[EM2]

Preliminary injunctions tend to correlate well with the judge thinking plaintiffs have merit, so certainly, this is a good sign.

Final nail in the coffin? No. However, the mail is set and I don?t see this as En Banc worthy as a 1A case.

Perhaps I have become too jaded concerning our legal system, I expect cases like these to take many years all the while our rights are being abused.

Just a side note: representing SAF is the recently discussed Idaho-based Don Kilmer.

The recent thread discussing Din Kilmer was about 2A litigation. This is a 1A case. Never the less...congrats.

Even my wife who mildly disapproves of my interest in shooting remembers her days in summer camp where marksmanship and safety were taught. Just a few weeks ago she and I were agreeing that if young people were exposed to safe shooting they would be far less inclined to become psychotic murderers when finally allowed to obtain a gun

As it stands now the young idiots spend years playing computer shooter games and then buy a rifle when they turn 18.

When I was in high school they actually had an indoor rifle range on campus. How far we have fallen

Places like Yemen and Afghanistan have high rates of gun ownership. And people their own actual military guns.

And yet, they don't suffer from random killing sprees. One is currently a war zone but there hasn't been like some random looney one day went wacko and started shooting up the mosque. Or with Afghanistan where we haven't heard of a massive shooting spree despite the guns left behind.

It is like Amsterdam and drugs when the drugs are legal, you have less addictions and less drug crime. Seems that Afghanistan is the Amsterdam of firearms.

Judge Van Dyke had it most right. And congrats to Don Kilmer!!!

Bumping since there's been an update. The 9th Circuit 3-0, denied CA's request for en banc review.

It's nice to see there's at least some sanity on the 9th.

I have always found ways to contribute in some form or another to the growth of 2A exercise for youth and the next generation. Be it through the distribution of free ammunition, acting as a CRSO at our local club events, donation of equipment, or simply allowing young shooters to try out various firearms in a safe environment, I will continue to do so undeterred by the likes of these communist legislators, their AG, or that crap stain of a governor we have. California can go suck it.
We need to keep up the fight in the courts and anywhere else we can.

So does this mean all those ?are you over 18? pop ups blocking access to gun websites will go away now?

The only reason this favorable outcome occurred is because the Ninth Circuit has a solid track record of defending First Amendment rights. If not for the overwhelmingly free speech-based arguments, gun rights plaintiffs would have lost.

Nonetheless, I celebrate the legal victory.

Imagine if the California DOJ did anything other than defending the worst policies imaginable while simultaneously suing the federal government to block enforcement actions that help the American people.
