| ANJRPC ASKS LOWER COURT TO RESOLVE MAG BAN/ASSAULT FIREARMS BAN LAWSUITS |
| October 10, 2023. ANJRPC has filed motions in the combined magazine ban and assault firearm ban cases with the lower federal court for “summary judgment” and to exclude illegitimate expert witness testimony attempting to substitute legal argument with irrelevant inflammatory rhetoric. Summary judgment, if granted, would have the effect of ending the cases in favor of gun owners.

ANJRPC’s magazine ban lawsuit was given new life in 2022 when the U. S. Supreme Court returned it to the lower federal court for reconsideration in light of the Bruen decision. Since then, the case has been tied up in a procedural tangle of court-ordered “discovery,” and became further complicated when it was consolidated with ANJRPC’s separate and more recent assault firearms law challenge. Discovery was recently completed, and accordingly ANJRPC has filed these new motions to exclude the State’s expert testimony and to end the case.
The next step is for the State to submit its response by November 3, which will also likely include motions of its own. Two further rounds of briefing are then scheduled to occur, concluding on December 22. Oral argument of the motions will then likely be held in early 2024 followed by an eventual decision by the court. Whichever way the court ultimately decides these motions, these cases will almost certainly be appealed to the middle level federal appeals court.
