GRINNELL, Iowa (September 8, 2020) – Brownells is donating $50,000 to the California Rifle & Pistol Association to help fund the fight to restore freedom and standard-capacity magazines to California gun owners.
In August, a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals Ninth Circuit upheld a previous decision against California’s ban on magazines in the Duncan v. Becerra case. The panel determined a ban on magazines with capacity of over 10 rounds violates the 2nd Amendment rights of Californians.
In an effort to delay striking down California’s draconian magazine ban, the California Attorney General’s office petitioned for an en banc review of panel’s ruling, extending the struggle for California gun owners to regain their Constitutionally-guaranteed rights.
To help see that struggle through to a victorious finish, Brownells is contributing $50,000 for CRPA’s efforts to the cause.
“The California Rifle & Pistol Association Foundation is proud of the partnership with Brownells to fight for the rights of all Americans to exercise their Second Amendment rights,” said CRPA Foundation Director of Development Rick Travis. “Brownells’ generous donation will be used 100% in the fight to see the Duncan v. Becerra case to a successful conclusion in restoring the Second Amendment in California.”
If the rulings against California’s magazine ban are upheld, they could serve as precedent in similar decisions against other similar bans enacted by anti-gun politicians in other states.
Nice! Thanks Brownells!
What a great example of a company in the industry truly serving its customers!
Thank you Brownells for supporting California!
Kudos to Brownells for supporting the fight, instead of saying ‘just move’ to the many Californian gun owners!
Absolutely concur, no one wants any more Californians to leave California, even if they are the long-suffering, oppressed, gun-wielding minority who are less likely ruin the states they arrive in: time to take it back.
This is what a patriotic 2A company looks like, everyone!
Hopefully other businesses like BigDaddy Unlimited, OpticsPlanet, Cabelas and more will follow. Also CheaperThanDirt could repair some of their reputation with a move like this after years of jacking up prices following shootings and when the gun market is booming.
This is what marketing looks like. California, is a money state with oppressed gun owners. If this standard cap mag ban is lifted in Calif, Brownell’s will make their 50k back very quickly.
