SAF Petitions SCOTUS for Certiorari in Delaware Gun, Mag Ban Challenges

BELLEVUE, Wash. —— Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners in two different federal court challenges of gun and magazine bans in Delaware have petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court for certiorari, asking the court to rule whether an infringement of Second Amendment rights constitutes per se irreparable injury.

The cases — Gray v. Attorney General Delaware and Graham v. Attorney General Delaware — were consolidated with a third case in the Court of Appeals. In Gray, SAF is joined by the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), DJJAMS LLC and two citizens, William Taylor and Gabriel Gray. In the Graham case, SAF and FPC are joined by two other citizens, Christopher Graham and Owen Stevens. They are represented by attorneys Bradley P. Lehman at Gellert, Scali, Busenkell & Brown in Wilmington, Del., and David H. Thompson, Peter A. Patterson and John D. Ohlendorf at Cooper & Kirk in Washington, D.C.

Noting in their petition that the high court has previously ruled that “the loss of First Amendment freedoms, for even minimal periods of time, unquestionably constitutes irreparable injury,” SAF and its partners ask the court to determine whether the same standard applies to the Second Amendment.

“All rights protected by the Constitution are equal,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb, “and therefore any infringements on one right should merit the same degree of scorn as infringements against another right.” Read more

MDARD Implements Interior Quarantine in Missaukee County for Balsam Woolly Adelgid

Goal is to help limit the spread of this invasive insect

Effective September 16, 2024, the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) is enacting an interior quarantine for balsam woolly adelgid (BWA) in Missaukee County. With this quarantine, MDARD is aiming to slow the spread of the invasive pest while minimizing disruption to the state’s nursery and timber industries.

The infestation in Missaukee County was first detected by a private forester in September 2023. Since the population was confirmed, MDARD, in partnership with the Northwest Michigan Invasive Species Network, North County Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, and the U.S. Forest Service have worked together to survey the surrounding area and determine the extent of the infestation.

“The decision to enact this quarantine comes after extensive survey of the area and receiving constructive feedback during a public comment period to ensure the measures address both the pest threat and the needs of stakeholders,” said Steve Carlson, MDARD’s Pesticide and Plant Pest Management Division Director. “By focusing on these targeted restrictions, MDARD is committed to balancing the needs of the timber industry and Christmas tree growers with the necessity of safeguarding Michigan’s valuable natural resources.”

The key takeaway of the interior quarantine is the movement of Abies spp. from the quarantined area to anywhere within or outside of the area is prohibited, unless exempt or under a written compliance agreement with MDARD. Details can be found within the quarantine document linked below or by contacting MDARD-NurseryCE@Michigan.gov. Read more
