The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners have filed a reply brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of Novotny v. Moore, SAF’s challenge to Maryland’s so-called “sensitive places” carry ban. [More]

What do you think the chances are the men who consented to be governed would have been OK with “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed– except over here, and here, and…”?

Grant/Viramontes Brief of the Petitioners

Whether the Second and Fourteenth Amendments guarantee the right to possess AR-15 platform and similar semiautomatic rifles. [More]

You know the answer to that and I know the answer to that.

The question isn’t so much how many Supreme Court Justices know the answer to that as how many will not willingly subvert the Constitution and betray their countrymen?

Framing the Terms

Safnew

A judge in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas has ruled in favor of the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and Defense Distributed in Defense Distributed v. Blanche (formerly VanDerStok v. Bondi), holding the ATF’s “Frame or Receiver” Rule, which expanded the definition of a “firearm,” unconstitutional on both Second Amendment and due process grounds. [More]

Making DIYers great again…

Improbable Cause

Safnew

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

Those in charge of enforcing anti-bullying rules are always the biggest bullies.

The buck stops here.

A Taxing Situation

Safnew

…Congress’ taxing power cannot be used to support the NFA since the tax for suppressors and short-barreled firearms was eliminated in the One Big Beautiful Bill. Eliminating that tax, therefore, no longer justifying Congress’ taxing power under the NFA. [More]

As if the Framers would have considered any part of the NFA to be a legitimate power of Congress, so yeah, deck chairs on the Titanic, but I you gotta start somewhere.

Here Comes the Judge

Safnew

JUDGE ROGER BENITEZ ANNOUNCED AS GRPC 2026 KEYNOTE SPEAKER [More]

But…but…but doesn’t the fact that he’s “a Cuban-born immigrant” refute my “greatest threat” contention?

Not at all. One of our wisest champions, who I consider a mentor, is also a Cuban immigrant. My criteria have always specifically recognized and exempted individuals who stand apart from otherwise overwhelmingly hostile group majorities.

A Shocking Legal Development

Safnew

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners have filed a petition for a writ of certiorari in Calce v. City of New York, a case challenging New York City’s ban on electronic arms. [More]

Democrats really don’t want you defending yourself.

A New Hope

Safnew

The U.S. Supreme Court has granted two of the Second Amendment Foundation’s (SAF) petitions for a writ certiorari in both  Viramontes v. Cook County and Grant v. Higgins, the organization’s challenges to the bans on so-called “assault weapons” in Illinois and Connecticut. [More]

Now git -r-done before power shifts.

SUPREME COURT DENIES CERT IN 18-20 CARRY CASE, SAF WIN STANDS [More]

We’re the Only Ones Prohibitive Enough

Safnew

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has filed a federal lawsuit in California challenging Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office policies that prohibit permit holders from carrying handguns equipped with red dot sights or flashlights, as well as their outright ban on the carry of single action only (SAO) 1911- and 2011-style pistols. [More]

“Enforced by Sheriff David Livingston,” eh?

It’s not like he’s got better things to focus on, like his longtime deputy “arrested … on charges of burglary, receiving stolen property, embezzlement, and possession of an assault weapon.”

Try, Try Again

GOA and GOF Petition the Virginia Supreme Court for a Preliminary Ruling on Virginia’s Looming “Assault Firearms” Ban [More]

In related news, SAF is throwing financial support behind another case first reported on by yours truly.

Perpetual Motion

Plaintiffs have filed a motion for summary judgment in Roberts v. ATF, one of the Second Amendment Foundation’s (SAF) three supported lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the National Firearms Act’s (NFA) registration requirements for short-barreled firearms and silencers. [More]

I just keep coming back to “shall not be infringed” and wonder what evil madness has gripped what was supposed to be the exemplar of Liberty, and, noticing who’s fighting us on this and where the buck stops, what all those high-sounding promises really meant.

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.
