Federal Court Blocks Connecticut's New Gun Ban, NSSF Says

The U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut granted a preliminary injunction that temporarily stops the state from enforcing a newly enacted law aimed at banning certain firearms. The ruling cites constitutional concerns and will keep the law from taking effect while the case proceeds.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) welcomed the decision, stating it protects lawful gun owners and the firearms industry. NSSF noted that the injunction preserves access to firearms for hunters, sport shooters, and other lawful users pending further legal review.
