Hunt v. Lockyer

On April 16, 2002 the Fresno County Superior Court issued an order denying the plaintiff’s request for preliminary injunction and declaratory relief.
 
Edward Hunt, District Attorney of Fresno County, acting in his personal capacity as a citizen, filed a request for a statewide injunction against enforcement of the Assault Weapon Control Act (AWCA). The plaintiffs contended that the regulations are so vague that even police and prosecutors find it impossible to identify which weapons fall under the act. The court determined that there were insufficient grounds to grant an injunction.
