Ventura County<\/a><\/em> and <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Martinez-Opinion.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"saf-wins-against-2-california-counties-over-covid-closures-of-gun-stores-ranges\" title=\"SAF Wins Against 2 California Counties Over COVID Closures of Gun Stores, Ranges\">Martinez v. Villaneuva<\/a><\/em>. In the McDougall case, SAF was joined by the California Gun Rights Foundation (CGRF), Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and two private citizens. In the Martinez case, SAF was joined by CGRF, FPC and the National Rifle Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Writing for the court and referring to the McDougall case, Judge Lawrence VanDyke observed, \u201cfrom March 20 to May 7, 2020\u2014a total of 48 days\u2014the Orders mandated the closure of gun shops, ammunition shops, and firing ranges throughout the County to the general public, including Appellants. The closure prohibited County residents from leaving their homes to acquire any firearms or ammunition and maintain proficiency in the use of firearms at firing ranges\u2026The County never explained its rationale behind the designations of businesses and activities deemed \u2018Essential.\u2019 The Orders therefore denied anyone who did not possess both a firearm and ammunition on March 19, 2020, from exercising their fundamental rights protected by the Second Amendment until at least May 7.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Judge VanDyke subsequently predicted, \u201cI\u2019m not a prophet, but since this panel just enforced the Second Amendment, and this is the Ninth Circuit, this ruling will almost certainly face an en banc challenge. This prediction follows from the fact that this is always what happens when a three-judge panel upholds the Second Amendment in this circuit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/g4s-by-standard-manufacturing-shot-show-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"saf-wins-against-2-california-counties-over-covid-closures-of-gun-stores-ranges\" title=\"SAF Wins Against 2 California Counties Over COVID Closures of Gun Stores, Ranges\">This Is Not A Tommy Gun: The G4S by Standard Manufacturing \u2014 SHOT Show 2022<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBoth cases illustrate the egregious pattern of anti-gun sentiment among California officials,\u201d said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. \u201cOfficials in both counties offered no explanation or justification for shutting down gun stores and shooting ranges, while allowing hardware stores or bicycle shops to remain open. Neither hardware or bicycles are mentioned in the Constitution, but firearms certainly are protected, and everybody knows it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese cases highlight the pattern of abuses California officials routinely direct toward the Second Amendment,\u201d he added. \u201cWe agree with Judge VanDyke\u2019s prediction of an en banc challenge, and we\u2019re prepared to fight that battle, all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. As Judge Andrew Kleinfeld wrote in his concurring opinion, \u2018Neither pandemic nor even war wipes away the Constitution.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About SAF<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Second Amendment Foundation (www.saf.org) is the nation\u2019s oldest and largest tax-exempt education, research, publishing and legal action group focusing on the Constitutional right and heritage to privately own and possess firearms.\u00a0 Founded in 1974, The Foundation has grown to more than 700,000 members and supporters and conducts many programs designed to better inform the public about the consequences of gun control.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cBoth cases illustrate the egregious pattern of anti-gun sentiment among California officials,\u201d said SAF founder Alan M.
