Firearms Policy Coalition’s (FPC) issued the following statement on today’s final judgment in Reese v. ATF:
Today’s judgment in Reese v. ATF, issued by Federal District Court Judge Robert R. Summerhays, is legally baseless and morally bankrupt.
Rather than uphold the Constitution and binding Supreme Court precedent, the Court regurgitated the Trump Administration’s self-serving demand to wipe away the Fifth Circuit's ruling against the government's unconstitutional ban and continue denying millions of peaceable adults their right to keep and bear arms.
To be clear: FPC has never provided a list of its members to the government—and never will.
Our legal team is already taking action to urgently address this appalling order. We will commence appellate proceedings as necessary to protect our members and effectuate the Fifth Circuit's decision in our favor. Further updates will be provided as the case proceeds.
The judgment and other key case documents in Reese v. ATF can be viewed at firearmspolicy.org/reese. FPC is joined in the litigation by individual FPC members as well as Second Amendment Foundation and Louisiana Shooting Association. FPC thanks FPC Action Foundation for its strategic support of this FPC Law case.
