by

A representative for the Second Amendment Foundation explains how chaos could potentially ensue from the new bill.

The Justice Department Rips the Poor Law Enforcement Response To the Uvalde School Shooting

by

A Second Amendment Foundation spokesman discusses the report filed by the Justice Department, and what could’ve been done to prevent the loss of life. The Uvalde school shooting is still considered one of the most devastating events in recent times. And what’s more, according to a report filed by the Justice Department, it could’ve been avoided. U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland delivered a scathing report this past Thursday, noting a number of “cascading failures of … Read more

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham Is Once Again Defying the Second Amendment With Her Ridiculous New Mexico Gun Laws

by

A representative for the Second Amendment Foundation discusses how the actions could come back to haunt the Governor. Just as she did back in September when she attempted to implement ridiculous gun laws, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is at it again for 2024.

The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Calls Out Everytown for Gun Safety’s New “Study”

by

A representative for the group breaks down the bogus claims, pointing at California’s rise in crime following the placement of strict gun laws. Some people believe that strict gun laws mean a safer future for America. But that isn’t necessarily the case. A “study” produced by Everytown for Gun Safety noted that 298,000 lives could be saved if all states adopted strict gun control policies. However, it based most of its study in California, which … Read more

It Looks Like California’s Controversial Senate Bill 2 Has Taken Effect After All

by

Thanks to a federal appeals court, the controversial law is in effect – and it hurts the rights of private gun owners. Despite the best efforts by several gun groups and a lower court judge’s ruling, it appears that Senate Bill 2 has officially gone into effect in California.

by

A representative for the group explains why this action is being taken, in an effort to stop the law from taking effect next year.

A Federal Judge’s Reversal On a Controversial California Gun Law Is a Major Win For Gun Rights

by

A representative for the Second Amendment Foundation explains why Gov. Newsom’s restrictive gun law never stood a chance against the Constitution. On January 1st, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s controversial Senate Bill 2 was set to go into effect across California, restricting the rights of Concealed Carry (or Constitutional Carry) citizens by keeping them out of a number of public faces. But it appears that isn’t so much the case anymore. A federal judge recently knocked down … Read more

Second Amendment Foundation Is Suing Cortland Housing Authority Over Blatant Violations

Cortland Housing Authority has taken its latest firearm ban too far – and the Second Amendment Foundation is ready to fight them over it.

Three private citizens – all current residents … Read more

The Second Amendment Foundation Is Ready To Challenge a Potential Federal Ban On “Assault Weapons”

by

A spokesman for the group explains why they’re more than ready to take on Charles Schumer’s proposed law. It appears that anti-gun representative Sen. Charles Schumer is set to move on a new bill that could bring a federal ban on “assault weapons.” Republicans previously objected to the bill, S. 25, when Schumer tried to make movement on it before. But it appears he’s preparing a new push behind it. With that, the Second Amendment … Read more

The Constitution Once Again Knocks Down a Gun Restriction Law In West Virginia

by

A representative for the Second Amendment Foundation discusses a key victory surrounding a Federal law with age restrictions. Yet another example has been set against big governments trying to set restrictions against private gun owners.

Maryland’s Controversial Handgun Licensure Law Is Deemed Unconstitutional

by

A representative for the Second Amendment Foundation discusses this key court victory. A U.S. appeals court has once again sided with the gun owners after knocking down a ridiculous law set up by the state of Maryland.

A New NBC Poll Reveals That Gun Ownership In the United States Is At a Record High

Once Again, The ATF Has Extended Its Legal Reach, This Time On Ghost Guns

by

A Federal Appeals court’s recent decision is a win for private gun owners, according to a Second Amendment spokesperson.

The Second Amendment Foundation is Fighting Back Against a Pennsylvania Sheriff’s Warrantless Searches Against Firearm Retailers

by

A representative for the group explains why the brief was needed, and how Constitutional rights need to be protected.

A New Report Reveals That People Think Enforcement of Existing Gun Laws Would Work Better Than Creating New Ones

Boston Tightens Its Gun Laws In the Hopes of De-Escalating Violence – But It Likely Won’t Work

by

A Second Amendment Foundation representative explains why the prohibitive gun bill could bring even more trouble to the city. With criminal activity heightening in the city of Boston, the Massachusetts House just approved a bill that takes aim at firearm laws, namely with tracking down unregistered “ghost guns.” The bill also tightens possession of “assault weapons,” and requires key gun components to be serialized and registered with the state. In addition, individuals would not be … Read more

President Biden Is Once Again Calling For a Ban On Assault Weapons Following the Maine Tragedy – But It’s Not the Right Solution 

by

A representative for the Second Amendment Foundation explains why an all-out ban wouldn’t calm the violence surrounding “active shooter” events.

A Federal Judge Just Knocked Down a Decades Old Ban On “Assault Weapons” In California

by

A Second Amendment Foundation representative explains why this is a massive win – even if the fight isn’t over yet. Despite Gov. Gavin Newsom’s best efforts, it appears one judge has had enough of California’s unconstitutional “assault weapons” ban. Federal Judge Roger T. Benitez has ruled that the decades-old ban is unconstitutional. And even though Newsom and his forces are already working on appeals, it’s still a victory for private gun owners. Benitez noted that, … Read more

Smith & Wesson Has Officially Moved To a State That Will Show Them More Appreciation

by

The House Just Shut Down the Biden Administration’s Silly Attempt to Defund School Shooting Sports Programs

by

A spokesperson for the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms explain why this is such a pivotal victory for genuine safety. The Biden Administration has been on a tear as of late in an effort to slow gun violence. The only thing is, however, they’ve gone the wrong way about it. For instance, it attempted to defund school shooting sports programs, believing they don’t serve a benefit to students. However, the … Read more

Why Is Joe Biden More Concerned About Setting Up a Dedicated Gun Violence Office Instead of Looking More Into Concealed-Carry?

by

A Second Amendment Foundation representative discusses why Biden’s latest move to “combat gun violence” isn’t really the best direction to take. Over the past year, President Joe Biden has been pushing to ban assault weapons in the United States. But considering the Second Amendment (and the right to bear arms) stands in his way, he seems to be taking a strange new path. During the weekend, Biden announced that he is establishing a new office … Read more

Governor Newsom’s Request For a Gun Control-Based 28thAmendment Is a Problem, and Other States Need To Act Quickly

by

The Second Amendment Foundation Provides Its Full Support On Senators Seeking Legal Action Against a New Mexico Governor’s Unconstitutional Gun Ban

by

New Mexico’s Governor Has Just Called For a Complete Ban of Guns In Albuquerque – and It Could Create a World of Legal Troubles

by

A Second Amendment representative explains why Michelle Lujan Grisham’s latest move could create more problems than it’s worth. Over the past year or so, many states have been trying to implement limitations on concealed-carry of weapons, or even trying to ban weapons outright. And now, you can add New Mexico to the list. Democratic Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has instituted a public health order right before the weekend that bans firearms in Albuquerque, meaning that … Read more

The Community of Los Gator Has Suspended Its “Sensitive Areas” Rule, Allowing Legal Concealed Carry To Take Place

by

A representative for the Second Amendment Foundation discusses this recent victory, though there’s still a long ways to go with other states. Considering that the state of California has literally come under heavy fire from a number of gun regulations, any victory – even a small one – for private gun owners should be celebrated.

by

Do President Biden and the ATF Have a Case Going After “Ghost Guns”? This Lawyer Doesn’t Seem To Think So

by

A representative for the Second Amendment Foundation explains why Biden’s pursuit of “ghost guns” isn’t built on legitimate facts. President Joe Biden and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) have been quite pursuant on “ghost guns” as of late.

Kristina Mastropasqua noted in a recent email to The … Read more

The Biden Administration Is Costing Thousands of Legal Gun Sellers Their Licenses

by

A spokesman for the Second Amendment Foundation discusses the staggering increase in license losses, due to Biden’s crackdown.

A new report from the New York Post revealed that the ATF has wrongfully taken licenses … Read more

The Supreme Court Just Revived Joe Biden’s Regulation of “Ghost Guns”

by

While the decision … Read more

Is Illinois Going Too Far Banning the Advertisement of Guns For the Wrong Reasons?

by

A Second Amendment representative explains how the latest attack on gun makers isn’t just unwarranted, it’s concerning. Some believe advertising can be misconstrued in different ways, depending on the message they provide. At least, that’s what Illinois officials seem to think when it comes to gun advertising. Democratic Governor J.B. Pritzker has noted that he will soon sign a bill that will forbid advertising for firearms, based on officials noting that it “produces a public … Read more

The Second Amendment Foundation Applauds the 5thCircuit Court of Appeals Deeming Joe Biden’s Pistol Brace Rule As “Likely Illegal”

The IRS Is Calling Off Their Unannounced Visits To Florida Businesses and Residents – But Why Did They Begin In the First Place?

by

A CCRKBA representative explains why the now-stopped initiative should’ve never begun, and wonders who armed IRS agents in the first place.

Need a Better Idea of How Gun Control Bills Hurt Businesses? Here’s a Key Example

by

A Second Amendment representative explains how state officials need to take a closer look at such bills, as they’re crippling businesses. While the creators of gun control bills spend a great deal of time patting themselves on the back for their accomplishments (and calling for applause from their supporters), very few realize the effects they can have on businesses – and not just gun retailers. Per this story from Fox News, a gun control bill is … Read more

California Is Ready To Unjustly Charge a Punitive Tax On Ammunition and Firearms

by

A representative for the Citizens Committee For the Right To Keep and Bear Arms explains why the tax won’t do any bit of good for private gun owners.

A new bill titled California AB-28 is currently making its way through California government offices, which would unjustly impose an extra … Read more

A New Report Shows Just How Much Two Gun Control Initiatives By Democratic Lawmakers Are Failing

by

However, a new report reveals how two particular initiatives, put together by those same Democrats, … Read more

President Joe Biden Still Doesn’t Seem To Understand How Banning Assault Weapons Wouldn’t Work

by

With that, President Joe Biden has made a statement, once again calling for strict gun control and banning … Read more

Second Amendment Foundation Spokesman Discusses Enforcement Stay of Warrantless Retailer Searches

by

The importance of this ties in with Montgomery County Sheriff Sean Kilkenny’s recent agreement to … Read more

Montana Firearms Dealer Isn’t Backing Down Following IRS Raid, And Has Reopened His Store

by

A Second Amendment Foundation spokesperson applauds the move, but wonders what prompted the IRS’ actions. Earlier this month, Tom Van Hoose found his gun store, Highwood Creek Outfitters, under attack by IRS agents. 20 “heavily armed” agents moved in to seize thousands of documents surrounding his customers.
