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.

It Looks Like California’s Controversial Senate Bill 2 Has Taken Effect After All
Thanks to a federal appeals court, the controversial law is in effect – and it hurts the rights of private gun owners.

Second Amendment Foundation Is Moving For a Temporary Restraining Order Against an Orwellian Gun Dealer Surveillance Case
A representative for the group explains why this action is being taken, in an effort to stop the law from taking effect next year.

Second Amendment Foundation Is Suing Cortland Housing Authority Over Blatant Violations
A spokesman for the group explains why the ban is not only unnecessary, but also unconstitutional. 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

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.

A New NBC Poll Reveals That Gun Ownership In the United States Is At a Record High
A representative for the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) discusses the importance of the report.

Once Again, The ATF Has Extended Its Legal Reach, This Time On Ghost Guns
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
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
A member of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms explains this Rasmussen survey is something officials should look over.

Boston Tightens Its Gun Laws In the Hopes of De-Escalating Violence – But It Likely Won’t Work
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
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
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
A representative for the Second Amendment Foundation explains why the move to Tennessee will work better for the gun manufacturer.

The Latest Overturning of Restrictive Gun Laws In Maryland Bring Up a Simple Question – Why Do Officials Keep Trying To Make Laws That Go Against the Second Amendment?

The House Just Shut Down the Biden Administration’s Silly Attempt to Defund School Shooting Sports Programs
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?
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
A representative for the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms explains why private gun owners’ rights are in danger of being violated.

The Second Amendment Foundation Provides Its Full Support On Senators Seeking Legal Action Against a New Mexico Governor’s Unconstitutional Gun Ban
A representative for the group explains why the Senators are so concerned over the irrational actions of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham. Last week, New Mexico Gov.

New Mexico’s Governor Has Just Called For a Complete Ban of Guns In Albuquerque – and It Could Create a World of Legal Troubles
A Second Amendment representative explains why Michelle Lujan Grisham’s latest move could create more problems than it’s worth.

The Community of Los Gator Has Suspended Its “Sensitive Areas” Rule, Allowing Legal Concealed Carry To Take Place
A representative for the Second Amendment Foundation discusses this recent victory, though there’s still a long ways to go with other states.

A representative for the Second Amendment Foundation explains why a lawsuit was filed, and what the city needs to do to make up for Michael Cox’s mistakes.

Do President Biden and the ATF Have a Case Going After “Ghost Guns”? This Lawyer Doesn’t Seem To Think So
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. They’re concerned about how easily they can be bought, and how they can’t be traced without a legitimate serial number of bill of sale. Kristina Mastropasqua noted in a recent email to The … Read more
The Biden Administration Is Costing Thousands of Legal Gun Sellers Their Licenses
A spokesman for the Second Amendment Foundation discusses the staggering increase in license losses, due to Biden’s crackdown. The Second Amendment has been put in place to protect the rights of U.S. citizens to bear arms – but that isn’t stopping President Joe Biden and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) from going after those that sell guns. 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”
A Second Amendment Foundation representative explains why the passing of this regulation is a problem to private gun owners. Once again, the Biden administration is on the attack against guns, this time convincing the Supreme Court that “ghost guns” are a problem.

While the decision … Read more
Is Illinois Going Too Far Banning the Advertisement of Guns For the Wrong Reasons?
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?
A CCRKBA representative explains why the now-stopped initiative should’ve never begun, and wonders who armed IRS agents in the first place.

Just over the weekend, said agents infiltrated a number of businesses and resident homes in Florida, for reasons not explained. However, shortly … Read more
Need a Better Idea of How Gun Control Bills Hurt Businesses? Here’s a Key Example
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
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
A spokesman for the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms explains why these should be repealed – and has the proof to back it up.

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
A representative for the Second Amendment Foundation explains why the President’s call for stricter gun control isn’t the answer when it comes to stopping “active shooter” events.

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
The representative of the group explains just how wrong it is for gun shops to be searched without a warrant. The Second Amendment Foundation recently teamed up with Shot Tec, LLC and private citizen Grant Schmidt to file a case that challenges Pennsylvania’s firearm regulation, and its enforcement by both the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) and Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office. 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
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. But that isn’t stopping him from running his business. Per this report from The Epoch Times, Van Hoose has reopened his store, just one week after the raid … Read more
