The Second Amendment Foundation wants the Firearms Ban Returned to Sender One day, Americans woke up and they found that a general ban on firearms in post offices had been set in stone. Many people have decided to accept this new reality. The Second Amendment Foundation does not accept it and is vigorously challenging its constitutionality. And it is on solid ground in doing so. It has now filed a plaintiffs’ brief in the case … Read more
Gun Owners of America spokesman Sam Paredes discusses the two controversial bills, which are filled with problems. Once again, Illinois lawmakers are attempting to introduce new legislation in an effort to increase gun safety. And once again, they appear to be missing the point. These lawmakers just introduced two new bills as part of the Safe at Home Legislation. The first, HB5888, would reduce the amount of time a person has to report a missing … Read more
Actions from the past indicate that Harris will have no trouble calling for a ban on “assault weapons” – and the Gun Owners of America spokesman explains why this is a problem. As the Presidential election heads into the home stretch for early voting, many are wondering how it’ll go, with Donald Trump and Kamala Harris going neck-and-neck. But the bigger question amongst private gun owners is just what kind of initiative Harris will set … Read more
A spokesperson for the group discusses the insanely bad call made by the local police department. Whenever a natural disaster is ready to hit, police departments usually take certain precautions in an effort to keep their people safe. One, however, went a bit too far, accidently enacting a full-on gun ban. Okeechobee Police Chief Donald Hagen unconstitutionally applied a Florida stature, usually limited to riots and acts of violence, that outright banned guns. Considering Governor … Read more
A spokesman for the group explains why this gun control order is completely unnecessary. On the one-year anniversary of their opening an office dedicated to cutting back gun violence, the Biden Administration recently called for a new executive order on gun control. With this, several restrictions would be put in place, including the 3D printing of parts that would “convert” guns into automatics. Of course, the Gun Owners of America were quick to condemn such … Read more
A spokesman for the Second Amendment Foundation explains why this is a huge win for private gun owners and those that practice Concealed-Carry. For the longest time, Illinois has been a thorn in the side of private gun owners, putting together ban after ban in the hopes of stopping violent acts. However, one judge has deemed that they went too far with one particular rule. U.S. District Judge Iain D. Johnston recently made a ruling … Read more
The spokesman for the Gun Owners of America ponders why California was so concerned about purchases in the first place. California’s latest attempt to try and control the rights of public gun owners has been knocked down by an appeals court. Per The Epoch Times, the state’s attempt to stop people from buying more than one gun in a thirty-day period has been blocked, with a federal appeals court removing a stay. Though the case could … Read more
A spokesman for the Second Amendment Foundation explains that there’s much more work to be done in the state. New Jersey’s state government believed that a ban on AR-15 rifles would be the best answer for stopping gun violence. But a Federal judge reminded them that it’s not a viable solution. U.S. District Judge Peter G. Sheridan knocked down the ban, noting that it was unconstitutional. “The AR-15 Provision of the Assault Firearms Law is unconstitutional under … Read more
A spokesman for the group explains why the President is pushing heavily against Second Amendment rights. The White House recently announced a plan to expand background checks to close reported “loopholes” that the Biden administration previously claimed exist in private gun sales and transfers. But, in doing so, it’s set to violate the right to keep and bear arms, as provided by the Second Amendment. “This is another misguided policy that will not accomplish what … Read more
A representative for the Citizens Committee For the Right to Keep and Bear Arms discusses the heinous penalties in the Mile High state. There are strict gun laws – and then there are strict gun laws like the ones Colorado is currently working on. The state has a number of anti-Second Amendment bills in effect that could become a burden for private gun owners – and cost them quite a bit in the process. The main bill, … Read more
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. A federal appeals court allowed the law to proceed over the weekend, which now enables California to ban the carrying of firearms in most public places. … Read more
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. Over the weekend leading up to July 4th, a number of shootings took place in Baltimore, Philadelphia and Fort Worth, with at least ten people killed and dozens others injured. With that, President Joe Biden has made a statement, once again calling for strict gun control and banning … Read more
A representative for Second Amendment Foundation explains why the sit-in by Here 4 The Kids won’t lead Gov. Jared Polis to sign any sort of gun-banning bill. Many believe that an all-out ban of guns would reduce “active shooter” events and violence significantly – and one group in Colorado is going all out to get this message across to Gov. Jared Polis. A group known as Here 4 The Kids, made up of over a … Read more
Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford explains why the rights of private gun owners still triumph over any statures over weapons from years ago. Right now is a very turbulent time when it comes to the rights to bear arms. Though the Second Amendment does allow for people to arm themselves as needed (especially in today’s climate), several argue that it’s leading to more violence – and have even brought up statures from centuries … Read more
The spokesman for Gun Owners of America explains why the Second Amendment may be in danger of being overwritten. During his State of the Union Address earlier this week, President Joe Biden doubled down on his plan to ban assault weapons in the United States. “Ban assault weapons now!” he said. “Once and for all. “We did it before. I led the fight to ban them in 1994.” However, now Biden has the assistance of Brady … Read more
Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford explains why banning assault weapons isn’t the answer to ending the violence. Following an active shooter event that took place this weekend in Raleigh that left several people dead, President Joe Biden is once again pushing for a full ban on assault weapons. He notes that he’s a mere “two senators away” from giving the ban traction. However, several pro-gun groups have protested Biden’s push towards banning assault … Read more
Following yet another shooting this week in Tulsa that resulted in the death of five people, President Joe Biden has decided enough is enough when it comes to gun violence in the United States, calling for a full-on ban of so-called assault weapons. “For God’s sake, how much more carnage are we willing to accept?” Biden asked during his plea, calling for multiple measures opposed by many in Congress that would stop the sale of … Read more
