"At this stage of litigation, the Court therefore finds Plaintiffs have sufficiently alleged facts to establish standing and ripeness."
"The Court thus adopts Judge Bybee’s analysis, which follows the approach taken by the D.C. Circuit in Heller v. District of Columbia (Heller II)."
"Moreover, the regulations at issue are not longstanding. AB 2847’s three-for-one provision is precisely the opposite, having gone into effect on January 1, 2021."
"However, the Court is not persuaded there is a 'reasonable fit' between the state’s asserted objective and the three-for-one provision.Defendants offer no justification for why the statute requires the removal of three handguns for each new handgun added..."
