The ATF Might Just Change for the Better Under Trump

Second Amendment Foundation’s Latest Amicus Brief Digs Deeper Into the Law Surrounding Federal Gun-Free School Zones

by

Why Does Florida’s Senate President Stand Against the Idea of Open Carry?

by

A spokesman for the Second Amendment Foundation explains why this move feels like a “betrayal” to many. Though Florida’s gun laws are somewhat relaxed compared to other states, open carry still isn’t legal. At least, not yet.

During this week’s organization session, Albritton made it clear that he is still opposed to open carry, despite 39 … Read more

Gun Control Groups Calling For Public Disarmament Rather Than Safety, and That’s a Problem

Is Maine’s 72 Hour Waiting Period For Firearm Purchases Unconstitutional?

by

A spokesman for the Second Amendment Foundation explains why Maine’s waiting period may be too long for its own good. A new law passed by Maine back in August may be forcing potential new gun owners to wait longer for their purchase than necessary.

A U.S. District Judge Has Ruled Against Illinois’ Wrongful Semi-Automatic Ban – and Rightfully So

by

A spokesman for the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) discusses the irony regarding the Presidential candidate’s situation. It’s a bit concerning when someone speaks up against citizens having gun rights while, at the same time, owning a gun themselves.

The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Call Out Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Hypocritical Actions On Voter ID Requirement

by

A Federal Appeals Court Has Ruled That States Cannot Ban Guns In Banks, Hospitals or Churches (Guest: Second Amendment Foundation Spokesman)

by

A Federal Appeals Court Just Deemed a Minnesota Law Against Young Adults Carrying Guns As Unconstitutional

by
