A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction blocking a California board's effort to ban gun shows from a San Diego County fairground.
Federal District Judge Cathy Bencivengo issued a verbal order from the bench preventing the Del Mar Fair Board from enforcing a moratorium they recently adopted on gun shows at their fairgrounds. The case was filed by a coalition of gun-rights groups after the board passed the ban in January.
The Second Amendment Foundation, the National Rifle Association's Institute for Legislative Action, and California Rifle and Pistol Assocation joined a number of gun dealers and clubs as well as five private citizens to challenge the board in court. |

Gun shows are not and never have been threats to public safety, and that argument is ridiculous.
Therefore, even under the lesser standard of intermediate scrutiny, the "fit" between the government's actions and the civil right to conduct lawful business plus the public's constitutional right to acquire firearms cannot be made, and the plaintiffs should prevail. |

TO REMEMBER |
| A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. — Thomas Jefferson, Encyclopedia of T. Jefferson, 318, Foley, Ed., reissued 1967. |
