BELLEVUE, WA – The announcement by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon that the Justice Department has filed an amicus brief in the case of Rhode v. Bonta, challenging California’s background check requirement for ammunition purchases, has been greeted with delight by the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb noted how this amicus submission strongly reinforces DOJ’s previously-announced commitment to protect the Second Amendment. The plaintiffs won at the District Court level, and again before a three-judge panel of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last July. It is now up for an en banc hearing before a full panel of judges in March.
“I can energetically say ‘Welcome Aboard’ to Assistant Attorney Dhillon and her colleagues,” Gottlieb stated. “The more, the merrier!”
CCRKBA, along with the Second Amendment Foundation and Second Amendment Law Center, has also submitted an amicus brief in the case. Likewise, Gottlieb added, a coalition of Republican attorneys general representing 25 states, along with the Arizona Legislature, have submitted their own amicus brief in this important case. He said it is gratifying that so much legal momentum is on the side of California’s beleaguered gun owners.
