Second Amendment fight: Gun rights group sues to block New York's body armor ban

A gun-rights group is suing the state of New York in order to block the enforcement of its body armor ban.

The Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), a California-based non-profit organization, filed its Second Amendment lawsuit in the Western District of New York on Monday, arguing the ban is unconstitutional and is seeking a declaratory judgment that New Yorkers have a fundamental right to keep and bear arms — including body armor. The group is also seeking a permanent injunction to halt the enforcement of the ban.
