Notes from the Resistance
The Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in the case of Miller v. Bonta, challenging California’s ban on so-called “assault weapons,” have filed a responding brief in the case, countering defense arguments and strategies already rejected by federal courts and the U.S. Supreme Court. [More]
California knows that, of course. Anything to impede.
The Second Amendment Foundation today filed an amended federal complaint challenging the Biden administration’s new “Arm Brace Rule,” accusing the government of violating the Administrative Procedures Act, the Second Amendment and the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment. [More]
And the damning thing is, the government knows it’s violating all of those things.
The specific additional “sensitive places” designations that are challenged in the amended lawsuit include parks, beaches, recreational facilities or playgrounds or areas owned or controlled by a state, county or local government unit, plus youth sports events, an airport or public transportation hub, and various health care facilities. These areas were designated “sensitive” because the New Jersey Legislature was determined to “continue minimizing the carry of handguns as much as possible,” the lawsuit notes. [More]
Honestly, who ever heard of anyone being attacked in any of those places?
The Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in a federal case challenging the federal prohibition on handgun sales to young adults ages 18-20, has filed a reply brief supporting their motion for summary judgment in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia. [More]
And the same Democrats who say they want them unarmed because they’re too immature are counting on 16-year-olds to vote for them.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
These have posted since Friday afternoon:
“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]

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.
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.
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.
