Judge Sessions Ruling on PI/TRO - July 18, 2024
On December 18, 2023, the Vermont Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs, along with two Vermont gun stores and two Vermont citizens, filed a federal lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Vermont challenging Vermont’s standard capacity magazine ban and its firearms purchase waiting period. Two days later, we filed a Motion for a Preliminary Injunction, seeking to halt enforcement of the challenged laws.
Today, July 18, 2024, in an 88-page decision, Judge Sessions denied our Motion for a Preliminary Injunction for both the Magazine Ban and the Waiting Period laws. We are reviewing the decision and considering our options in moving forward with our fight against these unconstitutional laws, including an interlocutory appeal to the Second Circuit. -
