A Forward Progression

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has submitted a comment letter to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in support of a proposed rights restoration rule. [More]

They raise a good point:

However, there are some aspects of the Proposed Rule which do not go far enough. As courts have confirmed, the main requirement for disarming Americans—what must be present before they may be disenfranchised from their Second Amendment rights—is ongoing dangerousness.

You know how I feel about ongoing dangerousness.

Schooling the Collectivists

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has filed a new lawsuit in New Hampshire challenging the unconstitutional search of an 18-year-old high school senior’s vehicle, based solely on the knowledge that he is a legal gun owner. [More]

I see the cowardly bullies and would-be tyrants have limited who can post Facebook comments.

Twice More Unto the Breach

You know who ought to be taking the lead on all this, not just with arguments but with bearing the costs…?

In the Kapu Tradition

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners have filed a motion for summary judgment in a federal lawsuit challenging Hawaii’s ban on the acquisition and possession of firearms and ammunition for adults 18-20 years old. [More]

Great.

But the state has a virtually unlimited war chest, and 2A advocacy groups have to scramble up money from already overburdened activists.

Where are Harmeet Dhillon and Pam Bondi on this deprivation of rights under color of authority?

Neither Rain, Nor Snow, Nor Government Bans…

In granting summary judgment in favor of SAF, the court granted both declaratory and injunctive relief, declaring the ban unconstitutional and preventing its enforcement for the plaintiffs, including SAF members. Originally filed in June 2024, the lawsuit challenges the ban on firearms carry in U.S. Post Offices and on postal property. SAF is joined in the case, FPC v. Bondi, by the Firearms Policy Coalition and two private citizens. [More]

So, all of these?

And for all of us or just “plaintiffs, including SAF members”?

Why did “pro-gun” Pam Bondi have to be sued? Why didn’t she stand down, or better, denounce the ban and side with plaintiffs?

And will she appeal?

Nice Group You Got Here… Shame if Something HAPPENED To It…

The Second Amendment Foundation announced today the Washington State Attorney General’s Office has signed an agreement ending a three-year investigation which revealed no wrongdoing by SAF or its personnel, in exchange for the foundation’s withdrawal of its federal civil rights lawsuit against the AG’s office, former Attorney General Bob Ferguson and other defendants. [More]

Sounds like a job for Harmeet Dhillon, a state with unlimited tax-plundered financial resources extorting a rights group into dropping a legitimate complaint…

We’re the Only Ones Impermissive Enough

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners have filed a new lawsuit challenging the Santa Clara County Sheriff Department’s exorbitant fees and mandated psychological exam associated with applying for a concealed carry permit. [More]

Santa Clara… Santa Clara…

Oh, yeah, that’s where the corrupt sheriff’s department did pay-for-play on concealed carry permits…

I guess hoping Pam Bondi and the DOJ Civil Rights Division to look into demographics was a pipe dream.

In Care Of

Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) have filed a motion for summary judgment in its lawsuit challenging Illinois law that bans firearms in homes licensed to provide foster or day care. The Foster Home and Day Care Home Rules and statutes in Illinois ban adults licensed to foster parent or provide day care in their own homes from keeping functional firearms for self-defense, even if they are otherwise allowed to possess them. [More]

Another prohibitionist paradox: How can you be a caretaker if you can’t take care?

They don’t care.

If You Don’t Ask, You Don’t Get

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners have petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court for review in Viramontes v. Cook County, SAF’s challenge to the Cook County, Ill., ban on so-called “assault weapons.” [More]

Here’s the brief.

I was happy to see that it did not neglect to include:

The text of the Second Amendment itself proclaims that one of its purposes was to preserve the “militia” and, to state the obvious, the militia did not exist solely to promote individual self-defense but rather was “useful in repelling invasions and suppressing insurrections,” “render[ed] large standing armies unnecessary,” and enabled the people to be “better able to resist tyranny”. Indeed, to the extent there is a historical tradition with respect to “military” arms, it is to afford them especially strong protection.

Tangentially Related Development

The U.S. Supreme Court has distributed a Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) case, Madison Lara v. Commissioner Pennsylvania State Police, for conference to be held on Monday, Sept. 29. [More]

ALSO from SAF:

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners secured a major victory today after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a mandate overturning California’s “one-gun-per-month” restriction, setting a historic precedent.

I don’t see a link posted yet, but when it is you should be able to read the whole release here.

A Win– For Now

A three-judge panel of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has unanimously upheld an earlier preliminary injunction against a section of the California Business & Professional Code which had been used by the state to stifle gun-related advertising in Junior Sports magazine, in a case brought by the Second Amendment Foundation and others. [More]

Now we see if the en banc court reverses that.

Welcome to California, where advertising a “swell vacation gift from Dad” is verboten and LGBTQ affirming picture books for kids are mandatory.

An Age-Old Question

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), joined by New Jersey Firearms Owners Syndicate (NJFOS), have filed a lawsuit in district court challenging New Jersey’s ban on adults under the age of 21 from purchasing, owning or carrying handguns and handgun ammunition. [More]

Y’know, if Bondi’s 2A Task Force included gun owner representation, they’d be able to advise Justice on how best to support this.

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

[More]

Talk about sugar-coating: Good grief.

You know what would work even better than “YOUR help”? Getting Pam Bondi and her ATF guy to submit well documented statements of support.

If gun owner reps had a seat at the table, they’d be able to finesse that. But the ones in a position to demand that apparently think continuing to solicit craps shoot funds is the better way to go.
