U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), and California Gun Rights Foundation (CGF) joined two individuals in seeking an injunction against the County of Ventura, California’s wide-ranging ban on firearm and ammunition purchases, including the forced closure of retailers and bans on travel to stores in other counties. The case filings in McDougall v. Ventura County, a federal civil rights lawsuit, can be accessed from FPC’s website, FPCLegal.org.
Defendants in the case include Ventura County Sheriff Bill Ayub, William T. Foley, the Director of the Ventura County Public Health Care Agency, Robert Levin, the Public Health Medical Director and Health Officer for Defendant County of Ventura, the Ventura County Public Health Care Agency, and the County of Ventura, California. “The amended complaint and motion for preliminary injunction are important milestones in this important case affecting the rights of nearly one million people,” explained FPC Director of Legal Strategy, Adam Kraut. “Not only did the defendants make it a crime for individuals to go to, and operate, firearm and ammunition retailers inside of the county, they effectively locked people inside of the county by criminalizing travel to another county to purchase firearms and ammunition. Ventura’s ban is blatantly unconstitutional and we are eager for the Court to rule on our motion.”
