CINCINNATI– Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announces that a reply brief was filed with the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in C.S. v. McCrumb, an FPC-backed lawsuit challenging a Michigan public school’s ban on pro-gun speech. The brief can be viewed at firearmspolicy.org/mccrumb.

Under the Supreme Court’s “clearly established, settled authority, the School Officials’ speculative, after-the-fact hypothesizing about potential disruption was insufficient to justify their content-based command that [the student] remove a hat they did not like.”

“The First Amendment protects this public school student’s right to engage in peaceful speech in support of the Second Amendment. The Sixth Circuit should make that clear by holding that the school violated her rights and reversing the district court’s absurd ruling,” said FPC President Brandon Combs.
