Arizona Bald Eagle Recovery Soars to New Heights

Leave a comment

2024 breeding season breaks multiple records

Arizona’s breeding bald eagle population grew to its largest size ever documented, with a record 90 adult pairs occupying breeding areas across the state and hatching a record 96 young during the 2024 breeding season, according to the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s annual survey.

This year’s breeding bald eagles laid at least 119 eggs and produced 96 hatchlings, of which 77 reached the important milestone of their first flight, known as fledging. Statewide, there were 104 documented breeding areas, including seven new sites in 2024.

“Arizona’s bald eagle population continues to be strong,” said Kenneth “Tuk” Jacobson, AZGFD bald eagle management coordinator. “The fact that we continue to see an increase in breeding areas and hatchlings speaks to the resiliency of these magnificent animals and the effectiveness of ongoing efforts to help conserve and protect Arizona’s bald eagles.”

From busy city golf courses to remote forests, the diversity of the active eagle breeding sites across Arizona requires a specialized approach.

“We evaluate each breeding area, its location, the breeding adults and their tolerance to human activities,” said Jacobson. “Then we form the management plan for that area and for the needs of that pair.” Read more

FPC WIN: Federal Court Strikes Down Illinois “Assault Weapon” and Magazine Bans

Leave a comment

The Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced that Federal District Court Judge Stephen P. McGlynn has ruled in the FPC Law case of Harrel v. Raoul that the Protect Illinois Communities Act (PICA), which bans semi-automatic firearms and their magazines, is unconstitutional. The 168-page decision, which followed a full bench trial, can be viewed at firearmspolicy.org/harrel.

After considering all of the evidence and arguments, the “Court must take action as justice demands,” the Court said in its decision. “PICA is an unconstitutional affront to the Second Amendment and must be enjoined. The Government may not deprive law-abiding citizens of their guaranteed right to self-defense as a means of offense.” However, the Court also stayed the injunction for 30 days to allow the State time to appeal and seek a stay from the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.

“We are gratified that the Court properly found that these bans violate the constitutionally protected rights of Illinois residents and visitors. As we clearly showed at trial, PICA fails even under the Seventh Circuit’s misguided test that conflicts with binding Supreme Court precedent,” said FPC President Brandon Combs. “We will continue to fight forward until we eliminate every unconstitutional ban like this throughout the country. Further, we are optimistic that the Supreme Court will soon address bans like these in our Snope v. Brown case out of Maryland, which is pending the Court’s decision on our petition for certiorari. Gun owners across the United States should be confident that the ultimate victory on these issues is coming, likely soon.” Read more

Appeal Brief Filed in FPC -Backed Lawsuit Challenging School’s Ban on Pro-Gun Speech

Leave a comment

CINCINNATI– Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announces that a reply brief was filed with the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in C.S. v. McCrumb, an FPC-backed lawsuit challenging a Michigan public school’s ban on pro-gun speech. The brief can be viewed at firearmspolicy.org/mccrumb.

Under the Supreme Court’s “clearly established, settled authority, the School Officials’ speculative, after-the-fact hypothesizing about potential disruption was insufficient to justify their content-based command that [the student] remove a hat they did not like.”

“The First Amendment protects this public school student’s right to engage in peaceful speech in support of the Second Amendment. The Sixth Circuit should make that clear by holding that the school violated her rights and reversing the district court’s absurd ruling,” said FPC President Brandon Combs. Read more

FPC, FPCAF File Brief in ATF Pistol Brace Rule Appeal

Leave a comment

NEW ORLEANS – Today, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and FPC Action Foundation (FPCAF) announced the filing of their brief with the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in Mock v. Garland, their lawsuit challenging the ATF’s Pistol Brace Rule. The brief defends the Organizations’ victory at the district court and asks the Fifth Circuit to uphold that victory. The brief and other case documents, including the district court’s final judgment vacating the rule, can be viewed at firearmspolicy.org/mock.

“The district court correctly held that the Final Rule is arbitrary and capricious because the Agencies reversed a longstanding position without meaningful explanation and drafted a rule with vague standards,” argues the brief. “The Final Rule also violates the Second Amendment because it lacks sufficient historical support to survive the test set forth in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen. And by legislating where Congress chose not to, the Agencies defied the Constitution’s structural protections set forth in the Take Care Clause and articulated in the Delegation Doctrine.”

“We are proud to defend American gun owners in this important appeal. The ATF’s pistol brace ban is clearly unlawful and the government continues to lose this case, yet the Biden-Harris administration refuses to end its assault on you and your rights. The Fifth Circuit should affirm the district court’s judgment and stop this insane government overreach without delay,” said FPC President Brandon Combs. “As we’ve done in other cases, we will take this case to the Supreme Court if needed to end the government’s immoral enforcement of an unconstitutional regulation.” Read more
