BREAKING: Injunction Issued to Halt AB 2571
April 12, 2024
Blogs
Today, the Eastern District Court issued an injunction barring further
implementation of the provisions of AB 2571, meaning publishers of
Second Amendment-related content may resume their activities without
being subject to the penalties the new law put in place.
CRPA’s lawsuit, Junior Shooting Sports Magazines, Inc. v. Bonta,
cleared the path for today’s ruling with a huge victory back in
September. As a result of that decision, the case was remanded back to
the lower court to issue an injunction, but the court was dragging
their feet.
Subsequently, a similar case was decided and, this time, the court
moved forward to enjoin the law, citing the likelihood that the state
would lose on the merits should they continue to defend the
restrictions. As we have pointed out on several occasions, AB 2571
raises both First and Second Amendment concerns by barring speech the
state simply doesn’t like.
For now, at least, these absurd restrictions are sidelined and we will
wait to see if the state continues what can only be seen as an uphill
battle. Stay tuned!
HELP US END AB 2571!
