MA Gun License Challenged
The Second Amendment Foundation and National Rifle Association have filed an amicus brief with the Massachusetts Supreme Court in support of a New Hampshire man who is challenging the Massachusetts permit law. [More]
Hey, waddyaknow? NRA shared credit!
An Age-Old Question
A three-judge panel in the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has handed down a unanimous 27-page ruling that Minnesota’s ban on concealed carry by young adults is unconstitutional under the Second Amendment, giving a victory to the Second Amendment Foundation and its partners. [More]
Democrats against it want to lower the voting age.

An Age-Old Question
The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit challenging Pennsylvania’s prohibition against allowing young adults aged 18 to 20 from acquiring a license to carry a firearm (LTCF) for personal protection. The case is known as Brown v. Paris. [More]
If nothing else, it’s a mockery of U.S. Code:
The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age…
Drilling down further, anyone see anything in here about a license? Yeah, I know, increments. Just sayin’…
Paradise Reclaimed
The Second Amendment Foundation has filed an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court supporting Hawaii resident Christopher L. Wilson’s petition for a writ of certiorari in his challenge of the Hawaii state Supreme Court’s decree that individual citizens in the Aloha State do not have the right to carry firearms for self-defense outside of their homes. [More]
If government can say you don’t have it there, it can say you don’t have it anywhere.
Pushing the Envelope
The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit in Texas challenging the ban on firearms carry in U.S. Post Offices and on postal property as violations of the Second Amendment, and is seeking declaratory and injunctive relief. [More]
Good on them. Way past time for this…
Hunter Guilty
Hunter Biden found guilty on all counts in gun trial [More]
Here’s a novel thought I’ll offer first to Alan Gottlieb:
If you want to generate major news that will knock the Democrats on their butts, and do the right thing as far as 2A purity is concerned, offer to “defend Hunter Biden’s gun rights” in addition to Trump’s.
UPDATE
Looks like Donald Trump has a similar idea:
‘Don’t worry, Joe – I will Save your son after I get elected (for the third time)!’
Playing the Trump Card
SAF DECLARES ‘WE WILL DEFEND DONALD TRUMP’S GUN RIGHTS!’ [More]
Between this and Hunter Biden, we may see some walls come tumbling down.
We talked about Trump being a “prohibited person” here and here, and I’ve got a Firearms News piece scheduled to come out today that launches from that point, but I gotta confess, there’s a part of me that feels like rubbing “take the guns first, due process later” in his face.
How About One Book a Month?
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco has scheduled oral arguments Aug. 14 in the Second Amendment Foundation’s challenge of California’s one-gun-per-month (OGM) purchase restriction, in a case known as Nguyen v. Bonta. [More]
Of course it’s an infringement.
Of course the Ninth Circuit knows it.
And of course they’re going to do everything in their power to stall things until Democrats get the national majority they need to remake SCOTUS and reverse Bruen.
With your money.
Brace Yourselves
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has announced it will hear oral arguments in the Second Amendment Foundation’s challenge of the “Final Rule” issued by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives regarding arm braces for pistols, during the week of Aug. 5. [More]
Which Founding Father would you most like to imagine caning Steve Dettelbach?
Saying No to Cartel-Sanctioned Lawfare
The Second Amendment Foundation has filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of Smith & Wesson in its legal fight against the government of Mexico, which seeks to hold the American gun manufacturer liable for criminal acts of third parties in Mexico. [More]
Yes, real threats from the open border directly impact the “single issue” in more ways than one.
Everyone realizes the government there would not exist without cartel sanction? A loyal American State Department would have Obrador on the carpet begging us not to cut back on trade and handout benefits.
Battle Plans
SAF PREPARING FOR SCOTUS FALL HEARING IN VANDERSTOK CASE [More]
I’m not sure the “Authority to regulate firearms is solely in the hands of Congress” argument won’t ultimately come back to bite us. Perhaps if someone could point out which clause in the Constitution delegates the authority to override “shall not be infringed,” my worries would be quelled…
Conference Call
Two Second Amendment Foundation cases challenging bans on so-called “assault weapons” and magazine capacity—one in Illinois and the other in Maryland—are among five cases distributed Tuesday by the U.S. Supreme Court for conference May 16. [More]
2A defenders are doing a full court press on behalf of all of us.
The Time is Ripe
SAF files brief with Supreme Court in challenge to Illinois semi-auto ban… “Given the ongoing resistance to the core reasoning of Heller and Bruen, (we) respectfully submit that the existence of so many other similar cases cuts in favor of granting certiorari now,” the brief states. [More]
If not now, when?
What’s that saying about a right delayed…?
Aruba, Jamaica, Ooh, I Wanna Take Ya…
Firearms and ammunition are strictly forbidden in Turks and Caicos. The U.S. Embassy in the Bahamas last September issued this warning to travelers: “Firearms, ammunition, and other weapons are not permitted in the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI). TCI authorities strictly enforce all firearms related laws. The penalty for traveling to TCI with a firearm, ammunition, or other weapon is a minimum custodial sentence of twelve (12) years.” [More]
We’ll get there fast and then we’ll take it slow…

An Age-Old Question
The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania has handed a significant victory to the Second Amendment Foundation and young adults in the 18-20-year age group, allowing them to apply for concealed carry licenses in the state, while enjoining the state from arresting any law-abiding citizens in that age group for openly carrying firearms during a state of emergency. [More]
If we’re going to go with text, history, and tradition, Pennsylvanian Tench Coxe would have gone down to 16… and no permit needed.
This Bud’s for You
The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a memorandum supporting its motion for a preliminary injunction with a federal court in Pennsylvania in a challenge of the federal ban on gun ownership by medical marijuana users. [More]
Once more, Democrats support discrimination.
Whys and Wherefores
“We’re not sure why the media allows Ferguson to get away with such statements without some fact-checking,” Gottlieb questioned. [More]
Playing the Percentages
However, the recent investigation by the Second Amendment Foundation revealed that 97Percent supports bans on “assault weapons,” standard-capacity magazines, and bump stocks and has called for permits to carry, purchase, and even possess firearms. It supports mandatory background checks and mandatory storage laws and claims the Second Amendment is “overprotected.” [More]
Welcome to the party, pals.
