Through a press statement, Ms./Mrs. Cheuvront said the following. “We’re thankful Judge Bencivengo sees the Constitutional problem with banning these safe, perfectly-legal events and is allowing the show to go on while we continue to fight. We’re confident that as this case progresses, law-abiding Americans’ civil rights will not be unjustly violated and that we will prevail.” Tiffany Cheuvront also said. “These well-funded anti-gun groups are using every myth in the book to push their anti-gun agenda on a legal, safe, and family-friendly event that has been held for years because they simply don’t like guns.
