NEW: ANJRPC says they will not withdraw the lawsuit they filed against NJ Governor Murphy for closing gun stores, ranges, and the background check system.
"However, the Governor’s office has confirmed to ANJRPC sources that ranges are to remain closed, despite Trump Administration guidance to the contrary."

"ANJRPC intends to continue to pursue further aggressive action against NJ, as appropriate." anjrpc.org/page/MurphyRev…
“It’s good that the governor has finally bowed to pressure from the federal government, but our case is going to continue... We are seeking a permanent injunction preventing this from ever happening again in this or future administrations.”

"EO 107 thus, by its text and by its necessary effect, flatly and indefinitely prohibits the sale of any firearms anywhere in the State. It is difficult to imagine a restriction more completely antithetical to the Second Amendment’s protections."
"It is utterly fanciful to acknowledge that the exempted retailers can safely keep their doors open but then, in the next breath, insist that all firearm stores must close in the name of public health."
"State police regulations provide that firearm ammunition may only be sold by a licensed firearm dealer. By shutting down gun dealers, New Jersey therefore also effectively bans the purchase and sale of ammunition."

NEW: ANJRPC preparing major lawsuit as Governor Murphy unilaterally shuts down NJ gun stores, NICS system, and ranges: anjrpc.org/page/CRITICALA…
"Thus, two major parts of the Second Amendment (means of firearms acquisition, and means of developing firearms proficiency) have been shut down completely, without an end date, by a single government official, by executive fiat...
...Social distancing protocols, utilized elsewhere to justify keeping certain other supposedly “essential” businesses open, are not even part of the equation when it comes to firearms, ammunition, and ranges."

Today marks 26 years since our namesake Brady Bill went into effect on Feb. 28, 1994. To date, Brady Background Checks have saved countless lives.

The story of the people behind this lifesaving law — Jim & Sarah Brady — is vitally important. #BackgroundChecksSaveLives

THREAD⬇️
In 1981, Jim Brady was @WhiteHouse Press Secretary. He was shot in the head during the assassination attempt on Reagan. He spent the rest of his life recovering. #EndGunViolence #BackgroundChecksSaveLives
The shooter who left Jim Brady paralyzed could have been blocked from buying his gun under the Brady Bill.

He'd lied on the federal form when he bought the firearm. The tragedy had been prevented. #BackgroundChecksSaveLives

It’s long past time for #Congress to finally address #GunViolence by updating the background checks law to require background checks for all gun sales – helping keep guns out of the wrong hands. #UpdateBackgroundChecks #FixNICS #PassHR8 #EnoughIsEnough
Background checks are one of the most effective tools to keep guns out of the wrong hands #UpdateBackgroundChecks #PassHR8 /2
Background checks save lives. They are the foundation of any effective effort to reduce gun violence and are associated with lower rates of gun murders, suicides and gun trafficking in states that require them for all gun sales #UpdateBackgroundChecks /3

My take on the new #omnibus bill, as it relates to #gunviolence:
1) The fixes to NICS (the background check system) are long overdue. I hope that they will be implemented well. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
2) I am glad that Congress clarified what CDC, NIH, and NIJ have long known: the "Dickey amendment" doesn't ban research per se. (Cf this article I wrote with @EmmyBetz & Wintemute 2 years ago: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…)
3) HOWEVER: this clarification does **nothing** to fix the lack of research. We need appropriations. Want to know more about why this clarification is meaningless (and may even be harmful)? Read here: npr.org/sections/healt…

NEW: Last week, a class action lawsuit was filed against @DCPoliceDept and @ChiefNewsham over the politically targeted mass arrest of the anti-fascist anti-capitalist march during Trump's inauguration on January 20, 2017 unicornriot.ninja/2018/dc-police… #J20
A similar lawsuit was filed by the same attorney, Jeffrey Light, on January 20th immediately after the mass arrest, but was later withdrawn on procedural grounds. unicornriot.ninja/2018/dc-police… Now, many #J20 defendants with their charges dismissed could potentially join on to the suit
