Defending provisions of California’s Unsafe Handgun Act.
Court: Ninth Circuit
Issue at Stake: Safety features
Summary: Everytown filed this amicus brief in the Ninth Circuit in litigation challenging California’s Unsafe Handgun Act. The case involved a challenge to provisions of the Act that require firearm makers to incorporate two safety features—a chamber-load indicator and a magazine-disconnect mechanism—as well as microstamping technology. Everytown’s brief demonstrated that the Unsafe Handgun Act does not burden the challengers’ Second Amendment self-defense right and should be upheld.
