The Firearms Policy Coalition has filed an opening brief in the appeals phase of an FPC-backed lawsuit challenging a Michigan Public School’s ban on gun-related speech.
The case involves a third-grade Michigan girl who, on the school’s “hat day,” was told she couldn’t wear a hat bearing the text “Come and Take It,” along with an image of an AR-15 rifle. In the case C.S. v. McCrumb, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan ruled that the school district was within its bounds in banning the hat and that the decision “was justified by undisputed evidence in the record and therefore does not violate the First Amendment.”
FPC has appealed the ruling to the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals and recently filed its opening brief on the case.
