Axon announces FTC has dismissed the antitrust complaint against the company

The Federal Trade Commission, FTC, has dismissed its administrative enforcement action against Axon Enterprise. This action follows Axon’s unanimous U.S. Supreme Court victory in April confirming federal court jurisdiction over its constitutional challenges to the FTC’s structure-claims the high Court recognized as “existential.” “As I said from the beginning, no one should ever face the prospect of a government that can demand to seize your most precious assets without the ability to defend yourself in a fair and impartial court of law,” said Axon Founder and CEO Rick Smith. “We made it clear that we were prepared to take the merits of our constitutional claims right back to the Supreme Court, and I’m exceedingly proud of our legal team and the inroads we forged that will now allow others to press these critically important due process and separation of powers issues to ultimate resolution. We at Axon remain laser focused on our mission to protect life.”
