New York claims that allowing carry permit holders (who must go through state-mandated training) "ignore[s] evidence of serious harms caused by untrained persons using firearms in attempted self-defense":
New York says that allowing church owners to decide whether or not to allow guns on their property "tramples on the rights of parishioners who find guns unsafe"

"In Ryan Busse's declaration, he asserts that the gun industry is responsible for collectively pushing AR-15 style rifles and 'high capacity' magazines onto the market – a notion that fails to consider the myriad of factors that influence consumer purchasing behavior."
"In Busse's declaration, he asserts that 'large capacity magazines' (LCM) are only recently popular, which is a specious argument."
"Busse also asserts that one may simply purchase a kit to refurbish a previously owned magazine. This option has effectively been nullified as the possible enforcement of CA Penal Code... regulating 'conversion kits' has limited retailers from selling magazine repair kits."
"The State, dealing with a Second Amendment that has at long last been restored and will now be much more difficult to infringe, presents a Gish gallop of a brief and evidentiary record to try and bully Plaintiffs into submission."
"In fact, California prohibits licensed dealers from selling pistols that will fire a chambered cartridge with the detachable magazine removed."
"And the State's argument that a larger magazine is not 'necessary' for a firearm to function for self-defense does not change anything. Otherwise, sights, stocks, rifles barrels, and all but one caliber could be banned."
"The state is rushing to implement Measure 114's new and onerous 'permit-to-purchase' regime before the infrastructure necessary to operate that regime—with which individuals must comply to obtain a firearm—is even in place."
"Rather than wait for the necessary systems to be set up, the Secretary set the effective date for the law as December 8, 2022—barely more than a week from the date of this filing, even though the final votes on Measure 114 still have not even been certified."
"And the near total lack of means to comply with the state's new demands means that when the law takes effect just one week from now, no one will be able to lawfully purchase a firearm in Oregon... That is the definition of a licensing regime 'put toward abusive ends.'"
NEW: Torres v. Daniel Defense (W.D. TX): Everytown-supported lawsuit filed against Daniel Defense, which claims that the company is partially responsible for the Uvalde shooting. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

The lawsuit complains about an Instagram post featuring "childhood icon" Santa:
BREAKING: Santucci v. Honolulu (D. HI): Judge issues preliminary injunction against Honolulu, says it can't require a doctor's letter from gun registration applicants solely because they disclosed a "behavioral, emotional, or mental" disorder diagnosis. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Context: Question 11 on the application
"The reason is simple: pursuant to Section 134-7, an affirmative answer to Question 11 does not render Santucci ineligible for gun registration or ownership. And no one really disputes that."
