“California law AB2571, is a specific, well planned, effort by California and anti-gun groups to eliminate pro-gun information to minors by making it illegal. At the same time, ensuring that anti-gun information is still legal and increasing the amount of anti-gun information. Thus, changing the voting structure in the U.S.A. I can prove it.” Andy Fink, Publisher Junior Shooters magazine. publisher@juniorshooters.net
The California law, AB2571 on advertising to minors, states that “YOU” can NOT encourage a minor residing in California to use a firearm or firearm related product, is a specific, well-planned effort by California and anti-gun groups to eliminate current and future pro-gun knowledge by youth and pro-gun votes. This is my perspective which I have been talking about in my editorials. One of the California judges on the Ninth Circuit Court specifically spells this out and agrees with me. See page 21-24 of their decision on September 13, 2023 link: https://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2023/09/13/22-56090.pdf). NOTE: California appealed and there will be a new hearing probably in the Spring, 2023 to see if our filing for an injunction will finally be granted (first filed July 2022). These legal efforts will go through the court process for the next 1-3 years!

Anit-Gun politicians and organizations have launched a deliberate campaign to change future voting on gun issues. They have done this by targeting youth (minors under 18) and what can and how information can be disseminated to minors.
They did this first in California in June 2022 where our request for an in junction was initially filed in July 2022, California AB251 Junior Sports Magazines, Inc., vs Bonta (state of California) and more recently in Illinois on August 14, 2023 IL Bill HB0218.
If this is allowed to continue, youth will only receive negative information about firearms and related products increasing not only the voting percentage and power in favor of anti-gun and no-gun organizations and politicians, but also lawyers and judges who interpret the constitution in a manner that will eliminate our 1st and 2nd amendments.
These are not only my thoughts. In our lawsuit and request for injunction, which was denied by the lower federal court, Judge Vandyke, from the ninth district circuit court of Appeals heard our case on June 28ty, 2023, and believes an injunction should be put in place, said in his response to the lower federal district court of California: “The California Legislature and Governor Targeted Speech that encourages lawful Conduct They don’t like:.” “California is concerned with the prospect of children growing up to become legal gun owners.” And in regard to the wording of the law, said: “When the text is peeled back, the legislative record indicates an intention that the law will stop the message that minors should lawfully use firearms and a hope that the law will prevent minors becoming adults who have a more favorable view of gun ownership and use….” United States Circuit Court Of Appeals For The Ninth Circuit Court No. 22-56090 D.C. No. 2:22-cv-04663-CAS-JC JUNIOR SPORTS MAGAZINES, INV V. BONTA Opinion filed September 13, 2023.

We had a previous post on the date of that decision; REVERSING the lower courts denial for an injunction September 13, 2023- FLASH– The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision today in the Junior Shooters magazine (Junior Sports Magazines, Inc.) and other plaintiffs’ challenge to AB 2571, the law that prohibited the marketing of firearms and related products by members of the firearm industry to minors in California, and encouraging the use of firearms by minors.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals three judge panel REVERSED the district court’s DENIAL of plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin, pursuant to the First and Fourteenth Amendments on September 15, 2023. COURT DECISION.
We got notified on September 22nd, that California is going to apply for en banc (request for a special procedure where ALL judges of the 9th court of appeals would hear the case.) Wikipedia.org states, “Headquartered in San Francisco, California, the Ninth Circuit is by far the largest of the 13 U.S. Courts of Appeals, covering a total of nine states and two territories and with 29 active judgeships.” 29 judges all together to hear one case? Impossible? Maybe not! En banc review is used for unusually complex or important cases or when the court believes there is a particularly significant issue at stake. (There certainly is a significant issue at stake: Your future and the 1st and 14th Amendments.) The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has held several en banc hearings. They usually have a 6 or 9 judge panel when they do so. So, they very well might hear this one.
Remember, while all this is going on, California AB2571 REMAINS IN PLACE!
They will have to file by November 13th. We will file an opposition to that, due by the end of September. Then the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals will file a reply if they hear it or not. Will we see an injunction in place by spring 2024? I doubt it. Hopefully, we will (sometime) get an Injunction. However, even then the case will continue to be argued and go through the court process.

September 13, 2023- FLASH– The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision today in the Junior Shooters magazine (Junior Sports Magazines, Inc.) “and CRPA’s challenge to AB 2571, the law that prohibited the marketing of firearms and related products by members of the firearm industry to minors in California. The law was signed last year as an “emergency” piece of legislation, and it completely stopped youth shooting sports, youth shooting publications, hunting, and shooting team recruitment in California. It affected thousands of kids and the safe and responsible youth shooting programs they participate in and benefit from. AB 2571 was quickly amended to try to mitigate some of the most obvious impacts on youth shooting sports programs, but that amendment did not make the law any less unconstitutional. And, in many ways, it made the law more confusing for those working with youth shooters.” (paragraph mostly from our lawyers)
“CRPA, Second Amendment Foundation, Junior Sports Magazine, California Youth Shooting Sports Association, Redlands California Youth Clay Shooting Sports, Gun Owners of California, and The CRPA Foundation joined together to challenge the unconstitutional law in court. Plaintiffs quickly moved for an injunction against the law so that programs, sponsorships, and youth working on their marksmanship skills could continue while the case was litigated. The lower court denied our request for a preliminary injunction, so the plaintiffs appealed that decision to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Oral arguments were held before a three-judge panel in June of 2023.”
The court noted that “because California permits minors under supervision to possess and use firearms for hunting and other lawful activities, Second 22949.80 facially regulates speech that concerns lawful activity and is not misleading.” The court also held that the law “does not directly and materially advance California’s substantial interests in reducing gun violence and the unlawful use of firearms by minors. There was no evidence in the record that a minor in California has ever unlawfully bought a gun, let alone because of an ad.” Finally, the court held that the law was “more extensive than necessary because it swept in truthful ads about lawful use of firearms for adults and minors alike.”
“Although this does not end the case, this is the outcome we were hoping for,” said Chuck Michel, CRPA President and General Counsel. “Newsom’s efforts to eliminate youth shooting activities, hunting, and the next generation of Second Amendment advocates who understand their rights has been stopped again. This is another example of legislative overreach and the politicians’ willingness to trample on constitutional rights.”
The Ninth Circuit panel reversed the denial of the preliminary injunction and sent the issue back down to the district court for further proceedings consistent with its decision. For all of those youth shooting programs out there, this means keep doing what you are doing for now. It takes time for appellate decisions to become final, and the lower court must still issue a final decision on the Plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary injunction. And we do not know if the lower court will want additional information from the parties before ruling.
For now– This is a BIG win for youth shooting! But it is just one step towards getting back to “normal.” Continue operations of programs the same way as if AB 2571 is in place and watch for more information on the ruling coming out of the district court soon.

Florida Snowbird Regionals 2021 shooting my RFPO.
Originally published in Junior Shooters magazine, Volume 48 Fall 2022, SHOOTERS SHOUTOUT when Jesse was 12, written by Jesse. Also published @juniorshootersmagazine Instagram post.
Jesse Grant is a 12-year-old SASP, Rimfire and Steel Challenge shooters form Longwood, Florida. Jesse got involved in shooting when he was 6 years old and went hunting with his family. He started shooting SASP in November of 2020 and started shooting Steel challenge in 2021. Some of his biggest accomplishments are 3rd place RFPO SASP Nationals and 3rd place B class RFPO Area 6 Steel Challenge. His next goal is to make Master class RFRO and move up to “A” class in his 3 other divisions.
My Dad and I in 2020 when I shot the biggest deer of my life, a 12-point Buck.
Hi, my name is Jesse Grant. I am 12 years old, and I am from Longwood, Florida. I shoot SASP, Steel Challenge, Rimfire Challenge, and Summer Speed League. I have been shooting competitively for two years but I have been hunting and shooting guns all my life. I started shooting BB guns when I was around four years old. When I was six, my dad brought me to Georgia to shoot his Walther P22 pistol and he let me try a .22 Hornet for hunting. On Thanksgiving Day, I shot my first deer with that 22 Hornet. I kept shooting guns and hunting and I wanted to do it all the time.
One morning, when I was 10, my dad was watching Shooting USA and we saw an advertisement for SASP. After some research we found one of the two SASP teams in Florida. The team was housed at the CFRPC (Central Florida Rifle and Pistol Club). We visited the range and first met Mick Langfield who is the Precision Rifle Head Coach, at that time he had a waiting list for his team. He referred me to the SASP Team area to meet Morgan Goring, the Head Coach of the team, they were having a practice that morning. I met Morgan and Ernie, and they let me try shooting a pistol and rifle that same day. The first stage I ever shot was Go Fast and I was hooked! The season for SASP had just started so I was able to join the team in November of 2020.
I started off as any beginner would and just tried to hit the plates instead of having fast and consistent times. Morgan Goring, the head coach for my team, taught me how to shoot with both eyes open. That was the hardest to learn because with a hunting scope you look through it with one eye. I started to get the hang of it, every practice I would learn how to shoot faster and more consistently. They coach you that fast is smooth and smooth is fast. Starting off I didn’t have any equipment to use, so I used the teams Smith & Wesson .22 pistol and the Tippmann M4-,22 rifle. A couple months before nationals, my parents bought me a Ruger 22/45 lite and I trained with it until nationals. I didn’t have two of them, so I switched it from optics to iron sights and back. We shot good at the 2021 Nationals and my team, and I won 3rd place RFPO. We had our off season for the month of August, then we went back to practicing in September. My Dad started researching .22 rifles to use for the sport.
Me and Bill Capers shooing the Ultimate Steel Challenge Match at Volusia County Gun & Hunt Club earlier this year, he came in 1st and me in 2nd, RFRO, A Class.
We practice twice a month, and I wanted more trigger time to become better. My parents researched other shooting sports in our area and came across Steel Challenge. We found a local range that was basically the same distance as the Central Florida Rifle and Pistol Club. This range is called the Volusia County Gun and Hunt Club and it became a range that my family and I would shoot a lot of Steel Challenge matches at. Then my dad bought me another 22/45 lite and built two race rifles. Greg Kerce, the match director for the Steel Challenge matches, would teach me all about the sport. I started to shoot lots of matches to the point where I was at both of the ranges every weekend. A normal weekend would find my parents taking me to the SASP practice then grabbing lunch and heading to shoot Steel Challenge in the afternoon. If we aren’t at one range every weekend, we are at both, possibly even both days. One of the coaches from my SASP team, Bill Capers wanted to start to shooting Steel Challenge and we have competed together at a few of the matches. So many people have helped me progress to where I am now, and I am grateful for their help.
My Family coming home from the 2021 Nationals in the Great Smokey Mountains.
I enjoy shooting competitions because I can see how other people shoot different stages and why they shoot them that way. I also love meeting new people that shoot and hang out with them. I love to compete and achieve the goals I have set for myself. I love helping new shooters progress and get better and I always try to introduce kids to the sport by finding a SASP team, if they live near one. I would like to say a huge thank you to my parents, coaches, and friends for supporting me and helping me progress in shooting!
