Firearms Policy Coalition filed a Supreme Court response brief in Davenport v. Cheeseman defending the July en banc Third Circuit decision, the first federal appellate ruling to strike New Jersey bans on common semiautomatic rifles including AR-15s and magazines over ten rounds under the Second Amendment after rejecting historical justifications. FPC asks the Court to hold New Jersey’s petition pending Viramontes v. Cook County argued December 2 while maintaining the Third Circuit was correct. Plaintiffs include FPC and two members represented by David H. Thompson, Peter A. Patterson, William V. Bergstrom of Cooper and Kirk PLLC and Bradley Lehman of Whiteford Taylor and Preston LLC.
