Washington and Oregon Legal updates:
Our 1639 Legal Challenge back in the Western District Federal Court. As we move past the 4th year of the legal challenge to I-1639, we have some updates to share:
We have been in a holding pattern, due to similar cases pending in the 9th circuit court of appeals. In May, an update to the case was filed, asking that the lower courts decision be vacated, based on the judgement in California's Jones v. Bonta. In September, the court of appeals scheduled oral arguments for our case this winter. Since Bruen is now having an monumental redirection on activist courts, the State of Washington requested, and we did not oppose a motion to VACATE and REMAND the 1639 decision back to the Tacoma District of the Federal Court. Effective 12/2/22, we are back in the local court.
While other cases in California are likely to be decided prior to our case being argued again, this time on the strict scrutiny standard required by the SCOTUS Bruen decision. We should see some significant movement by the cases before the CA courts, fresh decisions, fresh appeals by the California AG Bonta, and some injunctions and restraining orders that will right OUR ship here in Washington.
The Legal challenge to the magazine ban (ESSB5078), filed by Silent Majority Foundation Brombach v. Ferguson and heard on November 23 in the Yakima District federal court, is showing great promise to see an injunction placed upon that unconstitutional restriction. It looks like, a great Christmas present shall be bestowed upon Washington citizen and standard cap mags will be available again real soon. This should also back up the SAF challenged with Sullivan v. Ferguson
Oregon, clearly in the news everywhere, now has 5 separate legal challenges to the magazine ban, as well as the permitting process. Personally, I fully expect the suit brought by @oregonfirearmsfederation will have an injunction in place by Tuesday, and the panic that exists south of our border due to Bowel Movement 114, will finally settle down.
The long march towards repressive gun control is cracking. Its not ever going to end, just evolve, so stay involved. The 2023 Legislative Session is going to be a bear in Washington and Oregon. Follow the good works from the Washington Civil Rights Association , Washington 2023 Legislative Action Group - Save your civil rights and in Oregon the Oregon Firearm Advocates.
Many thanks to all the plaintiffs, attorneys, supporters of these legal actions. Without y'all, we'd be screwed.
