WASHINGTON’S FERGUSON JOINS ANTI-GUN-RIGHTS AG’S AMICUS BRIEF [More]
I’d expect nothing less from an embedded domestic enemy consorting with useful idiots and oath-breaking trough-feeders.
Punching Back
SAF FILES FEDERAL LAWSUIT AGAINST ILLINOIS GUN BAN [More]
Look at all the legal actions, just for this group.
You’d better believe part of the enemy’s legal strategy is to use their virtually unlimited tax plunder resources to deplete their victims’ resources.
I’d really like to see a concerted effort by the “gun lobby” to go after qualified immunity for enforcers abetting tyranny.
Having Their Cake and Eating It Too
SAF FILES PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION MEMORANDUM IN JONES V. BONTA … The case, filed in 2019, challenges California’s prohibition on firearms to young adults in the 18-20-year age group. [More]

FEDERAL JUDGE GRANTS TRO IN SAF CHALLENGE OF NEW JERSEY GUN LAW [More]
I’m wondering at what point a judge is going to start sanctioning state defendants for clearly engaging in deliberate defiance and delays, and making it personal.
Just Like the Founders Intended
Attorneys for the Second Amendment Foundation and its allies have filed a brief supporting their earlier motion for summary judgment in a federal challenge of Illinois’ ban on concealed carry by young adults in a case known as Meyer v. Raoul. [More]
Remember all those laws from the Founding era making it a crime for 18-20-year-olds to have a gun?
Me neither.
Muster Call
A federal lawsuit supported by the Second Amendment Foundation and Firearms Policy Coalition has been filed in New York, challenging that state’s ban on so-called “assault weapons.” [More]
I’ve been arguing not to forget “core purpose” in 2A actions, so I find this a good add:
The firearms at issue in this case are the sorts of bearable arms in common use for lawful purposes that law-abiding people possess at home by the millions. And they are, moreover, exactly what they would bring to service in militia duty, should such be necessary.
SAF Legal Actions
These have posted since Friday afternoon:
Stopping 114
Title Case
“Property owners indeed have the right to exclude. But the state may not unilaterally exercise that right and, thereby, interfere with the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens who seek to carry for self-defense outside of their own homes.” [More]
If you don’t want me there, put up a sign. It’s not the government’s job to absolve you of accountability, and I’ll be happy to let you be the attractant.
UPDATE
Attorney Mark W. Smith calls this “major.” [Watch]

A Common Factor
The Second Amendment Foundation today filed a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Delaware’s recently-adopted ban on so-called “assault weapons” on the grounds the legislation—known as House Bill 450—violates the Second Amendment. [More]
Show me a “commonsense gun safety” bill that doesn’t.
What’s in a Word?
SAF FILES MOTION TO INTERVENE IN CHALLENGE OF NEW GOV’T. ‘FIREARM’ DEFINITION [More]
I posted the release in its entirety on my WOG Placeholder blog because I didn’t see it appearing on the SAF News page yet, and if I don’t address this now I’ll never get back to it– check there for all case announcements to see how many actions they’re involved in and what they’re doing.
Predator Empowerment Zones Disputed
The Second Amendment Foundation today filed suit in federal court challenging the new concealed carry statute in New York State that, among other things, prohibits concealed carry in churches. [More]
The Democrat authors of that legislation evidently didn’t feel six seconds gave murderous attackers enough of an advantage.
UPDATE
And here’s another case:
The Second Amendment Foundation scored a victory in a ruling by a Tennessee Appeals Court panel striking down a gun ban by a public housing authority in the community of Columbia on the grounds it violates the Second Amendment, citing recent Supreme Court language in the case of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.
Every Terrible Implement
CONNECTICUT CITIZENS DEFENSE LEAGUE AND SECOND AMENDMENT FOUNDATION SUE CT OVER BAN ON MODERN SPORTING ARMS [More]
I dunno– “in Common Use for Lawful Purposes Throughout the United States” seems to exclude everything that’s not, including what will be developed in the future.
The Supreme Court, in its infamous Miller decision, nonetheless recognized the function of the Militia, defined as “all males physically capable of acting in concert for the common defense [and] bearing arms supplied by themselves and of the kind in common use at the time,” was — and still is — to field citizen soldiers. These citizens bore arms that were suitable for that purpose, “ordinary military equipment” intended to be taken into “common defense” battles. The Militia did not assemble on the green bearing clubs and spears. They came with the intent to match and best a professional military threat. A modern Militia would require citizens to keep and bear exactly what the gun-grabbing politicians are trying to take away from them, what they pejoratively denounce as “weapons of war.”
Second Amendment will be Nullified if ‘Common Use’ is Restricted to ‘Popularity’
Old Enough to Serve
The Second Amendment Foundation today filed a complaint in U.S. District Court in West Virginia, challenging the federal prohibition on handgun sales to young adults ages 18-20, and is asking for a declaratory judgment and injunctive relief. [More]
I’ve made my views known…
UPDATE
And here’s another SAF legal action:
SAF SUES CALIFORNIA OVER LAW SUPPRESSING GUN LAWSUITS
Hey, why should people who don’t respect the Second Amendment respect the First?
A Public/Private Partnership
The Second Amendment Foundation’s Investigative Journalism Project (SAF/IJP) has filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the White House, seeking copies of documents, both digital and print, “that show interactions between White House staff and members of gun control and gun safety groups.” [More]
It won’t be the first time we’ve seen leftists colluding with the government…
I haven’t seen the FOIA request itself, so don’t know how they plan on working around this:
By its terms, the FOIA applies to “the Executive Office of the President,” 5 U.S.C. § 552(f), but this term does not include either “the President’s immediate personal staff” or any part of the Executive Office of the President “whose sole function is to advise and assist the President.” Meyer v. Bush, 981 F.2d 1288, 1291 n.1 (D.C. Cir. 1993) (quoting H.R. Rep. No. 1380, 93d Cong., 2d Sess. 14 (1974)); see also, e.g., Soucie v. David, 448 F.2d 1067, 1075 (D.C. Cir. 1971). This means, among other things, that the parts of the Executive Office of the President that are known as the “White House Office” are not subject to the FOIA; certain other parts of the Executive Office of the President are.
Rope-a-Dope
The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and Defense Distributed have teamed up to sue the State of California over its ban on CNC machines used for producing unserialized firearms and a law letting the State recover attorney fees from plaintiffs and their lawyers. [More]
You get the feeling that the state, with virtually unlimited resources, is forcing the gun groups to expend all of theirs on lawsuit after lawsuit, counting on exhausting and wearing them out until they’ve got nothing left to punch with.
