NFGR Sues Over Just-Enacted Illinois Semi-Auto Ban

We are suing the state of Illinois over their newly passed “assault weapon” ban. While we have not filed any brand new lawsuit, we have been able to amend our current lawsuits in Highland Park and Naperville to incorporate the new state law.

NFGR has been proactive in restoring the rights of Illinoisans taking two ripe opportunities in Highland Park and Naperville to attack existing “assault weapon” bans. By merging the state ban into the existing lawsuits we are able to move the legal process forward much faster than if we had started the whole process over with a new claim.

Not only will this help with resource management by not redoing work we have already done, it will send a clear message to other states considering similar laws. These violations of our freedoms will not be tolerated.

Both our Naperville and Highland Park lawsuits can be read about here.

San Jose CA Gun Ownership Tax

The National Foundation for Gun Rights is suing the city of San Jose, California over their unconstitutional gun ownership tax and liability insurance mandate. San Jose passed a “first-of-its-kind” ordinance early in 2022 imposing an annual tax on gun owners simply for exercising their Second Amendment rights.

If this tax is allowed to stand, every left-leaning local government across the country will quickly follow. A victory here will help protect people everywhere from outrageous laws like this.

California Data Breach Lawsuit

The National Foundation for Gun Rights is suing California Attorney General Rob Bonta for the outrageous leak of gun owners’ personal data, including full names, dates of birth, race, home addresses, driver’s license numbers, permit issue dates, and criminal histories (if any). This leak violated the Second and Fourth amendments of the Constitution in what appears to be a retaliatory move immediately following the Supreme Court’s pro-gun Bruen ruling. We are arguing that it is unconstitutional for California to collect, maintain, or disclose their citizens’ sensitive personal information in connection with the exercise of the right to keep and bear arms.

Lawsuit Against Superior, CO “Assault Weapon” and Magazine Ban

The National Foundation for Gun Rights is suing Superior, Louisville, and Boulder to overturn their so called “assault weapon” and magazine ban. We are also suing in Boulder County to overturn similar laws and those dealing with possession, sale, and transfer of so called “assault weapons.” Both parties have agreed to move forward with these cases at the same time because of their similarities and all the municipalities have agreed to stay enforcement pending resolution of the preliminary injunction motions.

With the decision handed down in Bruen, laws like these will now need to find their justification in the history, text, and tradition of the Second Amendment. These laws and ordinances ban firearms that are in common use throughout the United States in violation of the rule set forth in Heller.

Colorado is in the 10th Circuit of the US Court of Appeals. A victory here will establish good legal precedent throughout the entire circuit including WY, UT, NM, OK, and NE.
