Today, Chief Counsel Joshua Prince of the Firearms Industry Consulting Group® (FICG®), a division of Civil Rights Defense Firm, P.C., and 2025 candidate for the Commonwealth Court, filed an amicus curiae (friend of the court) brief on behalf of Allegheny County Sportsmen’s League (“ACSL”), Firearms Owners Against Crime – Institute for Legal, Legislative, and Educational Action (“FOAC-ILLEA”), National Rifle Association (“NRA”), and Second Amendment Foundation (“SAF”) in Gun Owners of America, et al. v. City of Philadelphia, 9 EAP 2025, arguing that the regulation, in any manner, of firearms and ammunition, inclusive of their component parts, is preempted under both express and field preemption, as well as, under public and legislative reliance.
We anticipate, based on the breadth of Pennsylvania’s Uniform Firearms Act and other statutory provisions involving the regulation of firearms, that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court will hold that field preemption precludes the City of Philadelphia from enforcing its ghost gun ordinance, which regulates the personal making of firearms.
If your state or federal constitutional rights have been violated, or the federal, state or local government ever violate your statutory rights, contact FICG today to discuss your options.
