The Second Amendment Law Center is currently monitoring and preparing to assist in three federal challenges to Delaware's bans on the possession, sale, and transfer of any semi-automatic firearm the state has designated as an "assault weapon" and on certain magazines based on their capacity.
All three cases—Delaware State Sportsmen's Association v. Delaware Dep't of Homeland Security, Gray v. Jennings, and Graham v. Jennings—are on appeal to the Third Circuit from orders of the District Court of Delaware denying the plaintiff's requests for preliminary injunctive relief. The unconstitutional ban remains in effect while the case is on appeal.
The Third Circuit consolidated the appeals for purposes of scheduling and disposition. The plaintiffs-appellants are expected to file their briefs by July 3, 2023, seeking to reverse the trial court's ruling and strike down the laws as unconstitutional.
2ALC's legal team is working with the parties and their lawyers to launch a comprehensive amicus brief campaign supporting the plaintiffs-appellants and the right to keep and bear arms for all Delaware citizens. Amici briefs are currently due on July 10.
