Under the leadership of the Second Amendment Foundation, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) joined in the filing of a reply brief with the Western District of New York in support of its motion for summary judgment in its federal Second Amendment lawsuit, Christian v. James, which challenges several of New York’s recently implemented public carry bans.
The brief, along with all other case details and documents, can be accessed at FPCLegal.org.
“New York’s carry ban is as unconstitutional as it is immoral,” said FPC President Brandon Combs. “FPC will continue to fight forward until all peaceable people can freely exercise their right to bear arms throughout New York and across the nation.”
Today’s brief not only supports SAF & FPC’s motion but it also dismantles the State’s arguments against its claims.
“The State cannot ground its prohibition on carry in public parks and at all private property open to the public (the ‘no-carry default’) in any relevantly similar historical tradition grounded in the Founding era,” the brief states. “Instead, the State raises several unpersuasive threshold arguments, all of which can be dismissed.”
FPC brings this challenge as part of its high-impact FPC Law strategic litigation program to eliminate disarmament regimes and restore the natural right to keep and bear arms.
FPC is joined in this case by one individual FPC member and the Second Amendment Foundation. The Plaintiffs are represented by Cooper & Kirk, PLLC and Fluet Law.
