Gun lobbyists' appeal for injunction in assault weapon ban case denied by appeals court
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit ruled Monday against the Delaware State Sportsmen's Association's challenge of two of the state's gun reform laws, reaffirming the District Court’s order denying injunctive relief, reports Hannah Edelman.
“The Delaware State Sportsmen’s Association filed the lawsuit in 2022, shortly after the General Assembly passed a package of bills that limited high-capacity magazines, increased the purchasing age from 18 to 21 for most firearms and banned assault weapons. The association was joined by Bridgeville Rifle and Pistol Club, the Delaware Association of Federal Firearms Licensees and the Delaware Rifle and Pistol Club,’’ Hannah writes.
“The lawsuit claimed House Bill 450 and, later, a substitute to Senate Bill 6 violated the Second and 14th Amendments. The bill and substitutions banned assault weapons, including AK-47s and AR-15s, and large-capacity magazines, which are any magazines that can hold over 17 bullets.’’
