Adding Sanchez v Bonta (CA suppressor ban) - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qw2jfK6lECc-Czj6H3Gen4Ba6YCS6NYq/view?pli=1

Today CRPA is happy to announce the filing of the opening brief in Sanchez v. Bonta, a case challenging California’s total ban on suppressors. The brief was prepared by CRPA lawyers working alongside the law firm of Cooper & Kirk.

The lawsuit will decide the critical question of whether suppressors are “arms” in the Ninth Circuit, and thus subject to the full historical analysis laid out in Heller and Bruen.

Mr. Sanchez’s lawsuit began because he wanted to create and use a 3D-printed suppressor, so he applied for federal authorization to do so, but was denied because suppressors are illegal in California. He filed suit, but the district court dismissed the complaint with prejudice, erroneously concluding that suppressors are not “arms” protected by the Second Amendment because they are not themselves weapons, nor are they essential to the operation of a firearm.

Mr. Sanchez appealed, and after briefing was completed, on February 3, the Ninth Circuit issued an order stating that it was inclined to appoint pro bono counsel to represent Mr. Sanchez in his appeal and set a new briefing schedule. Rather than have an inexperienced court-appointed attorney take on this critical case, CRPA lawyers reached out to Mr. Sanchez to offer their assistance, as did the law firm of Cooper & Kirk.

Our brief argues that suppressors are extremely popular in most states, where they are legal so long as they are federally registered. The Federal Government itself has described suppressors as the only truly effective means of preventing hearing damage while using a firearm, and Californians should get that benefit too. More importantly, the district court erred because suppressors are plainly “arms” under the plain text of the Second Amendment, which covers “all instruments that constitute bearable arms”, and not just the part of a gun that fires.

We hope that the Ninth Circuit will see things our way.

Mark Smith - Ave Maria School of Law

Ave Maria School of Law senior fellow Mark Smith says courts are abandoning the Second Amendment by not protecting firearm components and accessories.

Five federal courts, including the usually conservative US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, have upheld restrictions on making or purchasing silencers for firearms since 2018. These decisions could greenlight gun-grabbing regulations across a variety of components—sights, optics, stocks, and trigger guards—needed for the full exercise of one’s right to bear arms.

US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas once called the Second Amendment a “constitutional orphan,” referring to lower courts consistently refusing to give it due deference as an enumerated right. Meanwhile, the Fifth Circuit in February joined four other courts in repeating the mistake Thomas identified in 2018 and left components essential to gun rights unprotected.

The Second Amendment must be read to protect guns themselves, as well as related items inherent to their safe and proficient use, such as noise suppressors.

The statute in question here requires owners to register and pay a tax on their noise suppressors with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. It raises its own interesting constitutional questions, but courts have skirted around analyzing those, preferring to explore whether the components themselves enjoy Second Amendment protections. The dangerous and inexact logic of these holdings is that certain components of firearms aren’t protected by the Constitution.

In the most recent of these decisions, United States v. Peterson, the Fifth Circuit held that noise suppressors aren’t protected by the Second Amendment because “a suppressor, by itself, is not a weapon.” The three-judge panel went on to write that “while possession of firearms themselves is covered by the plain text of the Second Amendment, possession of firearm accessories is not.”

The Fifth Circuit’s conclusion runs afoul of the US Supreme Court’s language in N.Y. State Rifle & Pistol ass’n v. Bruen providing that, “even though the Second Amendment’s definition of ‘arms’ is fixed according to its historical understanding, that general definition covers modern instruments that facilitate armed self-defense.”

Noise suppressors are instruments that facilitate armed self-defense. A law that restricts the possession or use of firearms capable of firing suppressed rounds is a restriction on that category of “arms.”

Criminal defendant George Peterson asked the court on March 5 to rehear its decision en banc; the next day, the court ordered the government to respond by March 17. Acting US Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana Michael Simpson initially affirmed the panel’s interpretation of our nation’s gun laws, questioning whether a “pillow or a plastic soda bottle taped to the barrel of a firearm” when used to reduce noise “too, become weapons.”

According to the Department of Justice and the ATF, the answer is a resounding “yes.” Any object—pillow, soda bottle, or otherwise—when used “for silencing, muffling, or diminishing the report of a portable firearm” is considered a suppressor and, by extension, a firearm as explicitly defined under the National Firearms Act.

It appears that the DOJ has realized this mistake. On March 20, it filed a subsequent motion requesting the court delay its ruling while the government reconsiders its position on Peterson’s request, citing President Donald Trump’s executive order protecting Second Amendment rights.

It’s exactly this loose thinking that is a gift to gun restriction advocates. Many components or parts that courts have wrongly characterized as “accessories” aren’t strictly essential for a firearm to “go bang,” but are nonetheless essential to the exercise of the Second Amendment.

The straightforward application of this logic could allow the government to ban popular components that are important to gun owners, including triggers, scopes, or sights of any kind. At the very least, it opens the door to questionable regulations that make suppressors and other components unreasonably difficult and expensive to obtain.

Banning components and accessories substantially infringes on Second Amendment rights. Take scopes, for example. Roughly 11 million Americans hunt deer every year, according to the National Deer Foundation. Deer hunting is usually done at distance, with skilled marksmen felling the animal from hundreds of yards away. A scope is necessary for accuracy. But, following the Fifth Circuit’s approach, scopes don’t enjoy Second Amendment protection because a scope “by itself, is not a weapon.”

Scopes are only one component that improves the safety and functionality of firearms. Recoil pads make guns comfortable to use, especially for younger and older shooters. Muzzle brakes serve a similar purpose. Safeties disengage a firearm that is otherwise ready for use. And so on.

Suppressors are similarly important. Responsible gun owners mitigate noise to protect their hearing and as a courtesy to others. Nearly every range in this country requires ear protection as a condition of use.

At a range, the best hearing protection is to use both a suppressor and ear protection because a “silencer” doesn’t really silence the report of a firearm, it merely reduces the noise. In self-defense scenarios, few ear protection systems are as effective as a suppressor. It is both strange and inconsistent with precedent for courts to hold that components, which make guns safer and more functional, don’t enjoy constitutional protection.

There is little hope of a successful appeal to the Supreme Court unless the full Fifth Circuit or some other court breaks with the emerging consensus and affords suppressors the protection they are due.

Under Trump, the DOJ should reverse course, request the court grant Peterson’s petition for rehearing en banc, and follow through on Trump’s promises to be a champion for Second Amendment rights. Regardless of what DOJ decides, the Fifth Circuit should rehear the case to correct its mistake.

The case is United States v. Peterson, 5th Cir., No. 24-30043, motion to stay en banc petition review granted 3/24/25.

Adding Langston v Humphreys (CO tax on firearms/parts/ammunition).

Quote

FPC Files Critical New Lawsuit to Stop Colorado’s Firearm Tax - https://www.firearmspolicy.org/fpc-files-critical-new-lawsuit-to-stop-colorado-s-firearm-tax

DENVER (April 1, 2025) – The State of Colorado has followed California’s radically anti-rights example by enacting unconstitutional new taxes on firearms, parts, and ammunition. This abusive new strategy from these states is dangerous and must be stopped. That is why the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) has filed a new Second Amendment lawsuit challenging Colorado’s new tax that targets gun owners and their constitutionally protected rights.

What We’re Working to Achieve

We are working to accomplish two things through this lawsuit:

1) Permanently ending this unconstitutional tax in Colorado; and,

2) Ending similar taxes on guns and ammunition nationwide.

Get in the Fight — Support the Case!

Individuals who want to support this case and FPC’s work to eliminate unconstitutional laws across the United States can join the FPC Grassroots Army at http://joinfpc.org/

FPC President Brandon Combs: “Governments may not target guns and gun owners for abusive taxes like this one. We look forward to ending this and other taxes assessed against gun owners.”

From the Complaint: “If this tax is permitted, there is nothing stopping States from imposing 50% or even 100% taxes on the exercise of any constitutional rights they disfavor—whether it be the right to free exercise of religion, the right to free speech, or any other protected individual right.”

From the Complaint: “The only rule that accords with Supreme Court precedent and common sense is that the exercise of protected constitutional rights cannot be singled out for special taxation.”

Case Documents

The complaint in Langston v. Humphreys can be viewed at https://www.firearmspolicy.org/langston

Plaintiffs & Counsel

FPC is joined in the litigation by FPC members Zachary Langston and Magnum Shooting Center of Colorado Springs, as well as Colorado State Shooting Association, Second Amendment Foundation, and National Rifle Association.

The plaintiffs are represented by Julian Ellis, Jr. and Michael Francisco of the Colorado-based law firm First & Fourteenth, as well as David H. Thompson, Peter A. Patterson, William V. Bergstrom, and Athanasia O. Livas of Cooper & Kirk.

CRPA’s lawsuits are doing more than winning in court — they’re now sparking federal investigations into anti-Second Amendment practices at the county level.

A recent press release from the U.S. Department of Justice reveals that the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department is now under investigation for long wait times and excessive fees related to concealed carry permits.

This move is a direct result of CRPA’s CCW Reckoning Campaign and the CRPA v. L.A. Sheriff lawsuit.

Adding to Langston v Humphreys (CO tax on firearms/parts/ammunition) - https://armedpolitesociety.com/index.php?topic=70249.msg1470795#msg1470795

SAF FILES LAWSUIT CHALLENGING COLORADO’S EXCISE TAX ON GUNS, AMMO - https://saf.org/saf-files-lawsuit-challenging-colorados-excise-tax-on-guns-ammo/

Quote

The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a lawsuit in Denver County District Court challenging Colorado’s Proposition KK as an unconstitutional tax on the exercise of a fundamental constitutional right.

Joining SAF in Langston v. Humphreys are the National Rifle Association, Firearms Policy Coalition, Magnum Shooting Center of Colorado Springs, the Colorado State Shooting Association, and a private citizen, Zachary Langston. They are represented by attorneys David H. Thompson, Peter A. Patterson, William V. Bergstrom, Athanasia O. Livas, Julian R. Ellis, Jr. and Michael Francisco.

Named as defendants are Heidi Humphreys, executive director of the state Department of Revenue and Michael J. Allen, district attorney of El Paso County, in their official capacities.

SAF and its partners contend that the state’s 6.5% excise tax on the retail sale of any firearm, firearm precursor part, or ammunition is unconstitutional in that it impermissibly singles out the exercise of a constitutional right for special taxation. There have been several rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court prohibiting such a tax scheme.

“Colorado’s new law impermissibly taxes an enumerated constitutional right,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “Not only does the tax lack any basis in our nation’s history and tradition of firearms regulation, it violates Supreme Court precedent that states the exercise of constitutional rights cannot be targeted through taxation. We look forward to vindicating the rights of all Coloradans who are affected by this egregious attempt to chill the exercise of Second Amendment rights.”

“Federal legislation to prevent this sort of tax was introduced just days ago in both the House and Senate,” noted SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “They’re calling it the Freedom from Unfair Gun Taxes Act, and greedy, anti-gun lawmakers in Colorado are probably at least partly responsible for such a bill on Capitol Hill. You simply cannot tax the exercise of a constitutionally-protected fundamental right.”

Reps Issa, Hudson and Senator Risch Introduce Bicameral Legislation to Stop Improper State Taxes on Firearms - https://issa.house.gov/media/press-releases/reps-issa-hudson-and-senator-risch-introduce-bicameral-legislation-stop

Quote

Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48), Congressman Richard Hudson (NC), and Senator Jim Risch (ID), introduced the Freedom from Unfair Gun Taxes Act. This bill would prohibit states from implementing excise taxes on firearms and ammunition to fund gun control programs.

“For too many years, extreme state policies — including from my home state — have targeted our fundamental Second Amendment rights and the American citizens who exercise them,” said Issa. “The latest attack is California’s imposition of a ‘sin tax’ on firearms and ammunition. This outrageous and unfair burden on law-abiding citizens is why Sen. Risch, Rep. Hudson, and I are working to stop this and other attempts to penalize our people and put the price of self-defense out of reach of any American.”

“Far-left politicians will stop at nothing to undermine the Second Amendment,” said Hudson. "Their latest scheme is an unconstitutional tax that seeks to price you out of your right to keep and bear arms, and this legislation will put a stop to it."

“Blue states that implement an excessive excise tax to fund gun control initiatives are exploiting the Second Amendment,” said Risch. “The Freedom from Unfair Gun Taxes Act ensures states do not place a significant financial burden on law-abiding gun owners to advance their anti-Second Amendment agenda.”

In 2024, California implemented a new 11% excise tax on firearms and ammunition to discourage the purchase of firearms and fund gun control programs. Colorado is set to implement a 6.5% excise tax in April 2025. Maryland, Vermont, New York, Massachusetts, Washington, and New Mexico have proposed similar taxes.

Issa, Hudson and Risch are joined by Congressman Doug LaMalfa (CA), U.S. Senators Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), John Hoeven (R-Mont.), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.), Jim Justice (R-W.Va.), James Lankford (R-Okla.), and Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.) in introducing the legislation.

The Freedom from Unfair Gun Taxes Act has received support from the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation, National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), and National Rifle Association (NRA).

“There is a growing effort among states to levy excise taxes to discourage firearm ownership. California and Colorado have already implemented a gun tax to fund their gun control efforts and dismantle the Second Amendment,” said John Commerford, Executive Director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action. “Senator Risch’s bill would prevent these blatant and egregious attacks on the rights of Americans, and the National Rifle Association is proud to support this legislation.”

Adding to Carry ban cases regarding CRPA v LASD (CA non-resident carry permit) - https://armedpolitesociety.com/index.php?topic=70249.msg1470913#msg1470913

The Second Amendment Foundation’s Investigative Journalism Project article:

About the federal investigation of the LASD for Second Amendment violations ... The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department must now submit to a federal probe -
https://thegunwriter.substack.com/p/about-the-federal-investigation-of

Quote

The U.S. Justice Department’s Special Litigation Section describes itself merely as one of several sections working within the Civil Rights Division.

In truth, they are much more than that.

The Special Litigation Section was created to protect people in several areas, including those in jails or prisons, individuals with disabilities, confined youth and “people who interact with state or local police or sheriffs’ departments.”

This last bit is why Attorney General Pam Bondi told the Justice Department to investigate the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department for violating their residents’ Second Amendment rights. The DOJ will definitely send in its Special Litigation Section. They are pros at investigating cops, and Bondi hinted they may have more agencies to review ...

Bondi was very clear about the allegations she believes were committed by the LASD. Their deputies can take more than 18 months to process concealed handgun license applications. She pointed out that the U.S. Supreme Court has strengthened the Second Amendment, which it considers a “fundamental, individual constitutional right,” but the LASD still has issues ...

How LASD’s Sheriff Luna will respond is not yet known, but it may be difficult for him. The best advice is to quickly realize he is no longer in charge. The DOJ is. Hopefully, he will stop his deputies from depriving residents of their Second Amendment rights.

If Sheriff Luna doesn’t act soon, he may become just another unemployed top lawman who lost his job because he underestimated the Justice Department’s little-known but powerful Special Litigation Section.

Kash Patel has officially repealed ATF’s tyrannical “Zero Tolerance” Policy.

This policy was used to unlawfully shut down hundreds of gun stores and build an illegal, digital registry of out-of-business records.

This is a HUGE policy shift away from the anti-gun policies of the Biden-Era.

Thank you to @Kash_Patel and the entire Trump Administration for prioritizing the Second Amendment and working to restore what was taken from gun owners.🔥

ATF Press Release

DOJ, ATF Repeal FFL Inspection Policy and Begin Review of Two Final Rules - https://www.atf.gov/news/press-releases/doj-atf-repeal-ffl-inspection-policy-and-begin-review-two-final-rules

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Department of Justice and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives announced today the repeal of the Enhanced Regulatory Enforcement Policy and the review of Final Rule 2021R-08F, related to stabilizing braces, and Final Rule 2022R-17F, related to the definition of “engaging in the business” of firearms dealing.

The Enhanced Regulatory Enforcement Policy, aka the Zero Tolerance Policy, was a strategy announced in 2021 that set more stringent criteria for Industry Operations compliance inspections to identify licensees with certain qualifying violations. As of today, this policy will be repealed, and Industry Operations inspections will no longer be held to these previously set guidelines.

Additionally, DOJ and ATF have plans to revisit the regulatory framework surrounding stabilizing braces (Final Rule 2021R-08F) and the definition of “engaged in the business” of firearms dealing (Final Rule 2022R-17F).

“This Department of Justice believes that the 2nd Amendment is not a second-class right,” said U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “The prior administration’s ‘Zero Tolerance’ policy unfairly targeted law-abiding gun owners and created an undue burden on Americans seeking to exercise their constitutional right to bear arms – it ends today.”

“Today’s repeal of the Zero Tolerance Policy and the comprehensive review of stabilizing brace regulations and the definition of ‘engaged in the business’ marks a pivotal step toward restoring fairness and clarity in firearms regulation,” said Acting ATF Director Kash Patel. “We are committed to working with all stakeholders to ensure our policies are balanced, constitutional and protective of Americans’ Second Amendment rights.”

The decision to review the Stabilizing Brace rule, which sought to reclassify certain firearms as short-barreled rifles, as well as revising the guidelines for determining who is considered "engaged in the business" of selling firearms, reiterates constitutional approaches to firearm regulations.

The DOJ and ATF will conduct an in-depth review over the coming months and will engage in consultations with stakeholders, including gun rights organizations, industry leaders and legal experts. Further updates on the status of these reviews will be released in due course.

ATF is the federal law enforcement agency with jurisdiction involving firearms and violent crimes and regulates the firearm industry. For more information about ATF, go to www.atf.gov or follow @ATFHQ on X.

DOJ and ATF Repeal Zero Tolerance Policy, Major Second Amendment Win for the Trump Administration - https://www.gunowners.org/doj-and-atf-repeal-zero-tolerance-policy-major-second-amendment-win-for-the-trump-administration/

Washington, D.C. – In a significant win for the Second Amendment, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) announced today the repeal of the controversial Federal Firearms Administrative Action Policy, also known as the Zero Tolerance Policy. First introduced under the Biden administration, the policy aggressively targeted gun dealers for minor paperwork errors—creating fear and uncertainty across the firearms community.

The decision to roll back this anti-gun policy comes under the direction of the Trump administration and marks a key step toward restoring Americans’ access to firearms. The DOJ and ATF, now led by Attorney General Pam Bondi and Acting ATF and FBI Director Kash Patel, will also begin formal reviews of the tyrannical stabilizing brace rule and the unlawful “engaged in the business” rule used to target private gun sellers.

The stabilizing brace rule, which attempted to reclassify braced pistols as short-barreled rifles under the National Firearms Act, and the “engaged in the business” rule, which was a backdoor attempt to create Universal Background Checks, were both the subject of national backlash and multiple court challenges.

Gun Owners of America has long sounded the alarm on the weaponization of the ATF under the Biden administration, where bureaucratic overreach was used to harass law-abiding gun dealers and crush small businesses. The so-called “Zero Tolerance” Policy wasn’t about safety—it was about control. GOA and Gun Owners Foundation responded with force, filing two major federal lawsuits: Kiloton Tactical v. ATF and Morehouse Enterprises, LLC v. ATF (II). Today’s repeal is a direct result of sustained legal and grassroots pressure—and a clear sign that this administration is serious about restoring constitutional order.

Erich Pratt, Senior Vice President of Gun Owners of America, issued the following statement:

“For years, the Zero Tolerance Policy has been a tool of political retribution—targeting gun stores and Americans who were simply trying to exercise their rights. We applaud President Trump, Attorney General Bondi, and Director Kash Patel for listening to gun owners and taking action to repeal this abusive policy. This is what pro-gun leadership looks like.”

Aidan Johnston, Director of Federal Affairs for Gun Owners of America, issued the following statement:

“Under President Trump’s leadership, we’re seeing a realignment toward the Constitution. This repeal and regulatory review of ATF’s “Zero Tolerance” Policy sends a clear message that the era of Biden gun control is over. GOA is grateful for the administration’s commitment to restoring Second Amendment rights and standing with law-abiding gun owners nationwide.”

FPC Statement on DOJ, ATF Action to Address Unconstitutional Biden-Era Firearm Rules - https://www.firearmspolicy.org/fpc-statement-on-doj-atf-action-to-address-unconstitutional-biden-era-firearm-rules

WASHINGTON, D.C. (April 7, 2025) – Today, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) provided Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) with an important update regarding firearm regulations, stating that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and ATF would repeal and revisit several regulations and enforcement practices implemented by the anti-Second Amendment Biden Administration. Three important reforms were announced, including the repeal of the Biden Federal Firearms Administrative Action Policy and Procedure (also known as the “Zero Tolerance” policy) as well as review and revisiting of the Biden “Pistol Brace Ban” and "Engaged in the Business” rules. FPC secured key wins for gun owners against the Biden Administration in its Mock v. Garland lawsuit, a case currently on appeal at the Fifth Circuit following another FPC victory at the district court which vacated the “Pistol Brace Ban” rule nationwide.

In response to today's announcement, FPC President Brandon Combs said: “On behalf of our members, we commend and thank President Trump, Attorney General Bondi, and ATF Director Patel for taking these important actions to protect constitutional rights and repeal the misguided 'Zero Tolerance Policy' implemented by their predecessors. Having been in the trenches for years fighting numerous Biden-era gun control initiatives, FPC has been a vocal advocate for these reforms, so we are encouraged by today’s announcement. We also look forward to collaborating with ATF and DOJ leadership on the deregulation of stabilizing braces and revisiting the 'engaged in the business' rule regarding lawful firearms commerce, two policies that were weaponized by the previous administration against the firearms community.”

Prior to President Trump’s February 7 executive order, FPC encouraged the White House to reverse all Biden-era ATF rules, regulations, and enforcement practices. And FPC recently announced its priority policy reforms which, among other things, requested that the White House establish a Second Amendment Czar to coordinate implementation of improvements across all government departments, create a First and Second Amendment Section within the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division to address unconstitutional state and local laws and practices, and enact major National Firearms Act (NFA) reforms to improve access to important, constitutionally protected arms.

FPC Statement on Proposed Executive Actions to Protect Second Amendment Rights - https://www.firearmspolicy.org/fpc-statement-on-proposed-executive-actions-to-protect-second-amendment-rights

Quote

WASHINGTON, D.C. (April 7, 2025) – Today, the Firearms Policy Coalition announced priority policy reforms and urged the White House and Department of Justice to take immediate and meaningful action to safeguard and support the rights of peaceable gun owners across the country.

Background

- We submitted a report to the White House and DOJ outlining numerous positive key reforms that the Trump Administration can enact to address unconstitutional and burdensome rules, regulations, and enforcement practices.

- On February 7, President Trump issued a landmark executive order that directed the Attorney General to “examine all orders, regulations, guidance, plans, international agreements, and other actions of executive departments and agencies (agencies) to assess any ongoing infringements of the Second Amendment rights of our citizens, and present a proposed plan of action to the President, through the Domestic Policy Advisor, to protect the Second Amendment rights of all Americans.”

- In our most recent meeting this past week, White House staff confirmed that many of our proposals are being strongly considered and confirmed their willingness to entertain additional suggestions.

What We’re Working to Achieve

Among numerous other proposed reforms, FPC is encouraging the White House and DOJ to:

1. Establish a Second Amendment Czar – A dedicated official to coordinate and implement the Administration's pro-rights policy agenda across the executive branch, from DOJ criminal prosecutions to civil litigation, the ATF, Department of Commerce, and more, to ensure that all federal departments and agencies are aligned around protecting the right to keep and bear arms. This role would also serve as a liaison to ensure Second Amendment concerns are consistently addressed at the highest levels.

2. Create and Staff a First and Second Amendment Section Within the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division – A specialized section within the DOJ dedicated to addressing and litigating against unconstitutional laws, policies, and practices of state and local officials that violate the right to keep and bear arms and free speech. This is particularly important to residents and visitors of jurisdictions that are openly hostile to free speech and the Second Amendment, like California, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maryland, Connecticut, Hawaii, and others.

3. Enact Massive National Firearms Act (NFA) Arms Reforms – A comprehensive review and modernization initiative to remove or update outdated rules and processes, increase access to NFA-regulated arms, and speed processing with point-of-purchase processing and virtually instant background check responses, among other things.
Get in the Fight — Support the Work!

Individuals who want to support these efforts and FPC’s work to eliminate unconstitutional laws across the United States can join the FPC Grassroots Army at JoinFPC.org.

FPC President Brandon Combs said, “Enactment of these critical proposals is necessary to protect the rights of millions of Americans from unconstitutional and immoral government overreach. That is why we respectfully call on the White House and Department of Justice to take immediate action to address these important issues and improve access to the right to keep and bear arms. On behalf of our members, we commend President Trump for the steps he has taken to protect the rights of gun owners, eagerly await his next actions, and look forward to continuing to work with his administration and DOJ leaders to protect the rights of peaceable people throughout the United States.”

Chuck Michel @CRPAPresident - https://x.com/CRPAPresident/status/1909686582090907751

We have just filed a motion to stay the mandate in Duncan v. Bonta. Without getting too into the weeds, the basic goal here is to protect "freedom week" and grandfathered magazines while we seek cert from the Supreme Court. Since 2019, magazines possessed before the complete ban law and a result from freedom week have been shielded from enforcement of the general ban by an order from Judge Benitez. Mandate issuing would ultimately reverse that order, and it would no longer be legal to possess such magazines. Thousands of law-abiding Californians would be turned into criminals.

The State did not oppose this motion, so we expect and hope it will be granted. Then, our fate relies on the Supreme Court doing the right thing and reversing the en banc majority's erroneous ruling.

Update to Executive Order on Second Amendment - https://armedpolitesociety.com/index.php?topic=70249.msg1471292#msg1471292

Attorney General Pamela Bondi Statement Regarding Creation of a 2nd Amendment Task Force - https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/attorney-general-pamela-bondi-statement-regarding-creation-2nd-amendment-task-force

Quote

Wednesday, April 9, 2025

For Immediate Release
Office of Public Affairs

WASHINGTON - Attorney General Pamela Bondi released the following statement regarding her creation of a 2nd Amendment Task Force at the Department of Justice:

“The prior administration placed an undue burden on gun owners and vendors by targeting law-abiding citizens exercising their 2nd Amendment rights. The Department of Justice’s new 2nd Amendment Task Force will combine department-wide policy and litigation resources to advance President Trump’s pro-gun agenda and protect gun owners from overreach.”

Background:

- This follows the DOJ and ATF’s Monday repeal of the Enhanced Regulatory Enforcement Policy and the review of Final Rule 2021R-08F, related to stabilizing braces, and Final Rule 2022R-17F, related to the definition of “engaging in the business” of firearms dealing. Read more here - https://www.atf.gov/news/press-releases/doj-atf-repeal-ffl-inspection-policy-and-begin-review-two-final-rules

- Read the full memo establishing the 2nd Amendment Task Force here - https://www.justice.gov/ag/media/1395956/dl?inline

From the 2nd Amendment Task Force memo:

Quote

... President Trump has made protecting the Second Amendment rights a priority for this administration. As he explained, "[t]he Second Amendment is an indispensable safeguard of security and liberty," because it "is foundational to maintaining all other rights held by Americans." Executive Order 14206 § 1 (Protecting Second Amendment Rights). To that end, President Trump has directed me to propose a plan of action designed "to protect the Second Amendment rights of all Americans." Id. § 2(a).

As one element of a comprehensive plan of action that I am proposing to the President, I am hereby creating a Second Amendment Enforcement Task Force. This task force will continue the Department's ongoing work to implement Executive Order 14206 and protect the fundamental right secured by the Second Amendment. The Task Force is principally charged with developing and executing strategies to use litigation and policy to advance, protect, and promote compliance with the Second Amendment...

Update to AW/Magazine ban cases regarding Duncan v Bonta (CA Magazine ban) - https://armedpolitesociety.com/index.php?topic=70249.msg1471372#msg1471372

We have just filed a motion to stay the mandate in Duncan v. Bonta ... to protect "freedom week" and grandfathered magazines ...

... The State did not oppose this motion

Good news! Motion to stay granted!

Quote

Chuck Michel @CRPAPresident - https://x.com/CRPAPresident/status/1910429313327083568

Our motion to stay the mandate in Duncan v. Bonta was granted. That means magazines possessed as a result of "freedom week", or magazines possessed before the possession ban was enacted, are protected until the Supreme Court decides what to do with the case following our upcoming cert petition.

CRPA sincerely hopes the Supreme Court will finally do its job and confirm that the magazines California seeks to ban are protected arms.

We need your support, for this and our many other cases. Consider becoming a member of CRPA, or donating - https://crpa.org/donate/

Update to Carry ban cases regarding CRPA v LASD (CA non-resident carry permit) - https://armedpolitesociety.com/index.php?topic=70249.msg1470913#msg1470913

Quote

Chuck Michel @CRPAPresident - https://x.com/CRPAPresident/status/1910023192237990264

Hey LAPD, this is your final warning. Two-year wait times are not acceptable. CRPA will prepare a lawsuit, and bring this to the attention of the US DOJ as well.

Quote

Chuck Michel @CRPAPresident - https://x.com/CRPAPresident/status/1910491644677546190

We received the following letter from LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell in response to our letter warning them of upcoming litigation due to their two-year wait times for a CCW permit.

While we appreciate that Chief McDonnell says he wants to find solutions, what he reports is actually quite distressing.

For example, he seems to be proud that LAPD issued about 1,500 CCW permits in 2024. But in a city of 3.8 million people, that pace is simply much too slow, so it's no wonder wait times have stretched to 24 months. While they process 150 new permits per month and 50 renewals, they get 500 interested applicants. That math means the wait times will only grow.

CRPA will demand a commitment to a firm timeline for LAPD to get their house in order and process permits within 120 days of receiving them. If LAPD will not make that commitment, then litigation will follow.

Whatever resources or new hires it takes, LAPD needs to get it done. If the government wants to insist that people have a permit to exercise a constitutional right, then the government cannot also complain that its workload to process permit applications is too overwhelming.

We encourage LAPD to persuade its allies in the state legislature to simplify the permit process to match that of nearly every other state, and to extend the duration of CCW permits such that they do not need to be renewed every two years, which would ease the burden on both applicants and the departments processing these applications.
