Washington, D.C. \u2013 Today, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) filed an\u00a0emergency application\u00a0with the U.S. Supreme Court<\/a>\u00a0to halt the\u00a0Second Circuit Court\u2019s stay<\/a>\u00a0of a preliminary injunction in\u00a0Antonyuk v. Nigrelli<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The case challenges New York\u2019s misleadingly named \u201cConcealed Carry Improvement Act,\u201d which was enjoined by U.S. District Court Judge Glenn Suddaby in early November. However, the Second Circuit quickly halted this order, as they have with other successful challenges to the law, with a short, undetailed opinion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Erich Pratt, GOA\u2019s Senior Vice President, issued the following statement:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cGovernor Hochul and state lawmakers wasted no time in passing legislation that completely contradicted the Bruen precedent, and we urge the High Court to once again hold the state accountable for violating the Second Amendment rights of their own citizens.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Sam Paredes, on behalf of the Board of Directors for the Gun Owners Foundation, added:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cWe have said it before and we\u2019ll say it again: states must come into compliance with Bruen, or we will make you.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n GOA spokesmen are available for interviews.\u00a0 Gun Owners of America is a nonprofit grassroots lobbying organization dedicated to protecting the right to keep and bear arms without compromise.
