NJ FILES PAPERS OPPOSING INJUNCTION
IN MAG BAN APPEAL
|
|
October 11, 2018. ANJRPC counsel Dan Schmutter provides the following update in the magazine ban appeal:
Last night, the State filed its brief opposing ANJRPC's application to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit for an injunction pending appeal.
The State argues that gun owners do not need an injunction because the Court has agreed to hear our appeal in November, on an expedited basis. But that utterly ignores that time is still ticking toward the December 10 deadline and that we still need the Court of Appeals to toll the running of the 180 day period even if they decide the appeal quickly.
The State continues to argue, contrary to Heller, that they, not you, get to decide which arms you may use in exercising your Second Amendment rights.
The State continues to argue that they may grant special privileges to retired law enforcement, even though law enforcement training has nothing to do with safely and responsibly using magazines over 10 rounds.
The State continues to argue, contrary to basic Constitutional principles, that they may force you to give up your valuable property without compensation simply because they deem it dangerous.
Please watch for coming updates and alerts as ANJRPC continues to fight for gun owners and the Second Amendment in this case, and please continue to support the case. ANJRPC will provide detailed guidance to gun owners as the December 10 compliance date approaches.
