FED. JUDGE LETS ANTI-GUN GROUP JOIN SAF MAG BAN CASE AS DEFENDANTS<\/a><\/p>\n

BELLEVUE, WA \u2013 A federal judge in Tacoma, Washington has allowed a Seattle-based gun prohibition lobbying group to intervene as a defendant in the Second Amendment Foundation\u2019s challenge of an Evergreen State magazine ban which became effective July 1.<\/p>\n

The billionaire-backed Alliance for Gun Responsibility requested intervention only days after the law took effect. Their motion was supported by Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson and State Patrol Chief John Batiste, who are defendants in the case. The Alliance supported the magazine ban as part of its gun prohibition political agenda, and Ferguson requested the legislation earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cApparently the Alliance is worried Ferguson isn\u2019t capable of defending his own magazine ban in this lawsuit,\u201d said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. \u201cObviously, after the Supreme Court\u2019s Bruen decision last June, the gun ban lobby fears the state may not be able to defend any of its gun laws, including a couple passed by initiative campaigns the Alliance financed.\u201d<\/p>\n

SAF is joined in the lawsuit by the Firearms Policy Coalition, Inc., Rainier Arms, LLC and two private citizens, Daniel Martin and Gabriela Sullivan. The case is known as Sullivan v. Ferguson.<\/p>\n

\u201cA few days after the high court handed down its ruling in Bruen,\u201d Gottlieb recalled, \u201cthe Supreme Court granted certiorari to two other magazine ban challenges, in California and New Jersey. The court vacated lower court rulings in both cases and remanded the cases back to the respective appeals courts for further action in compliance with the language in Bruen.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on the Supreme Court\u2019s action in both magazine ban cases,\u201d he added, \u201cit is clear such restrictive laws might be in serious trouble, which explains why the Alliance is interested. Courts in California have already ruled that state\u2019s magazine ban is unconstitutional, and that position may now stand when the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has to reconsider the case under the new guidelines set down in the Bruen ruling.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the Alliance wants to hold hands with Ferguson,\u201d Gottlieb said, \u201cthat\u2019s their business. Maybe he needs the moral support.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
