California: California AG Seeks Stay on Ammunition Injunction Ruling

[Charlie T Waite]

As reported yesterday, Judge Benitez granted the preliminary injunction in the NRA funded case of Rhode v. Becerra. The injunction, became effective upon issuance of the order; enjoining federal and state law enforcement from implementing or enforcing the sales background check provisions, anti-importation provisions, and the criminal enforcement penalties associated with the law.  

Today, the California Attorney General filed a motion to stay the preliminary injunction, as the State appeals the ruling. In the motion, the California Attorney General sets an arbitrary timeline on the court to issue a stay of 3pm PST before seeking relief from the Appellate Court. 

Update: Late this afternoon, Judge Benitez issued his ruling denying the State’s motion to stay the preliminary injunction! This means the injunction remains in effect. The State has filed a notice of appeal.

Your NRA will continue to keep you up to date as this case moves forward.

Hopefully, California will receive more judges like Benitez sooner than later!!
