California’s rush to eradicate the Second Amendment got more pushback last week, this time when the National Rifle Association (NRA) filed an amicus brief before the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Golden State’s latest infringement prohibited traditional gun shows on state property. The result was that these events were not allowed at fairgrounds, which hosted them for decades.
Contrary to the breathless claims of anti-gunners, these gun shows were heavily regulated by the state.
Firearm transfers could not be consummated, but the sale could be initiated. This meant conducting a background check, observing the state’s 10-day waiting period, and then obtaining the weapon from the licensed dealer.
Even this was not enough for opponents of gun rights, who recently passed two additional laws to suppress these events. Now, individuals are expressly forbidden from even agreeing on a contract at gun shows on state property.
This effectively ended the traditional gatherings.
The California Rifle & Pistol Association and others filed lawsuits in two California judicial districts with mixed results. Attorneys argued that the ban on gun shows violated the First Amendment, the Equal Protection Clause, and the Second Amendment.
The Central District determined the blanket prohibition was unconstitutional, but the Southern District upheld the controversial laws.
The appeals were consolidated by the 9th District Court of Appeals, which will now determine the outcome.
The plaintiffs then asked the U.S. Supreme Court to accept the case. The NRA’s brief argued that lower courts were divided on its merits, the Founding Fathers protected commerce in firearms at the nation’s founding, and the 9th Circuit demonstrated animosity toward Second Amendment rights.
Despite favorable rulings that enhanced gun rights for law-abiding citizens, this court is hesitant to take on cases that have not been fully adjudicated in the lower courts.
