9th Circuit Throws Out California's Ban on Free Speech
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has reversed a lower court's denial of a preliminary injunction against California's AB 2571, a law restricting firearm-related advertising attractive to minors. The court found the law likely unconstitutional under the First Amendment, stating California failed to meet the burden of showing it significantly furthers its interest in curtailing unlawful firearm use without unduly infringing on protected speech. The case is remanded for further proceedings, with the expectation of an injunction being issued.
