The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) filed a lawsuit this week alleging California’s use of an approved-gun “Roster” effectively bans “thousands of handgun models” available throughout the rest of the country.

The Firearm Policy Coalition, San Diego County Gun Owners, and numerous businesses and individuals are plaintiffs with SAF.

Defendants in the lawsuit are California Attorney General Xavier Becerra and Luis Lopez, director of the state Department of Justice, Bureau of Firearms, in their official capacities.

The lawsuit, Renna v. Becerra, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California on November 10, 2020.

Plaintiff’s open the lawsuit by pointing to the Supreme Court of the United States ruling in District of Columbia v. Heller, and claiming that guns in common use for self-defense at any given time are protected by the Second Amendment.
