J. Lorenz declines to issue a preliminary injunction to halt a state law prohibiting federally licensed firearms dealers from selling a firearm to a person under 21 years of age with certain exceptions for those who have received proper training. The purpose of the law is public safety, as the government has cited evidence that the 18-to-20-year age group targeted by the law has been identified as disproportionately prone to violence, including gun violence, compared to older age groups.

J. Riggs grants, in part, the gun owner's motion for a preliminary injunction, ruling the governor cannot enforce a public health order that prohibits the carrying of firearms in public parks. No historical tradition supports such a ban, while the only cases or laws cited by the government are either too far in the past to be relevant or stem from western territorial laws inapplicable to the Second Amendment. However, because playgrounds are analogous to schools and can be considered sensitive places, that portion of the order is supported by a longstanding history of enforcement and will remain in effect.

[Consolidated.] J. Urias denies the gun rights advocates' motion for a preliminary injunction, ruling they are unlikely to prevail on Second Amendment claims related to the state's public health order prohibiting the carry of firearms through public parks and playgrounds. Similar bans have been implemented and upheld throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, while parks could also be considered "sensitive places" outlined by the Supreme Court in rulings that limit the scope of the right to bear arms.

J. O'Connor grants an injunction to three individuals in their case challenging the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' inclusion of firearms with forced reset triggers in the definition of "machinegun." They have shown a strong likelihood of success on the merits and that they will suffer irreparable harm without an injunction.
Court: USDC Northern District of Texas , Judge: O'Connor, Filed On: August 30, 2023, Case #: 4:23cv830, NOS: Administrative Procedure Act/Review or Appeal of Agency Decision - Other Suits, Categories: constitution, firearms, injunction
J. Broderick denies a synagogue's motion for preliminary injunction to prevent the Governor from enforcing a law preventing concealed carry of firearms in locations providing any kind of childcare. Although the congregation alleges that the provision deprives them of their First, Second, and Fourteenth Amendment rights, and have proven standing, they do not allege that the state officials themselves are committing any ongoing violations of federal law. The Governor and Attorney General are not proper defendants. Equities and the public interest weigh against injunctive relief.
