In an effort to remove the remaining registration requirements from the National Firearms Act (NFA) for silencers and short-barreled rifles, the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) is now supporting a third lawsuit challenging the law. [More]

That’ll Teach Gun Owners to be ‘Law-Abiding’
Today, the National Rifle Association and Second Amendment Foundation filed an amicus brief in Hall v. Sig Sauer, urging a Pennsylvania federal court to reconsider an order requiring Sig Sauer to disclose its customers’ names and contact information without their consent. [More]
It’s nice to see they’ve finally learned their lesson about not sharing credit where due.
Hey, guess whose names are safe!

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.

To be clear, I thought those secret efforts where they “don’t like to get into details talking about who we’re working with and how we’re accomplishing it” had everything under control…

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.
Deep into the Weed
The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has filed its opening brief with the Third Circuit in its case challenging the federal ban on gun ownership by medical marijuana users. [More]
I can’t wait to hear the Pam Bondi-authorized arguments against this.
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]
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.

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.
