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 Governor has introduced a new public safety legislative agenda that appears to go completely against the Second Amendment, with gun control proposals that include a 14-day background check waiting period on … Read more

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

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

by

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Second Amendment Foundation Files a New Brief In Response To California’s Ongoing “Assault Weapons” Ban

by

Illinois’ Gun Law Is So Ridiculous, Even This Sheriff Refuses to Enforce Them (Guest: Second Amendment)

by

However, it’s when one of Illinois’ own law enforcement officers decided to step up and explain why he won’t be enforcing the … Read more

The Supreme Court Refuses to Listen to Gun Retailers, And It’s a Serious Problem

by

A Second Amendment Foundation representative explains why the Court’s deaf ear to New York’s strict gun laws could cost gun sellers dearly. A few months back, New York decided to implement its Concealed Carry Improvement Act, after the Supreme Court had knocked down strict laws it had made beforehand.

by

A representative for Second Amendment Foundation explains why President Biden may be heading in the wrong direction.

A New Gun Control Bill Is Now In Effect – And Could Hurt Current and Potential Private Gun Owners (Guest: Second Amendment)

by

A representative for Second Amendment Foundation explains how much of a violation this is on the rights of gun owners. In an effort to crack down on potential active shooters, Senator John Cornyn and several of his RINO Senators have put a new bipartisan gun control bill into effect.

A New Report Suggests That the FBI Could Be Hiding Numbers Indicating Just How Effective Concealed-Carry Citizens Are (Guest: Second Amendment)

by

by

Major credit card manufacturers Mastercard, American Express and Visa announced this past week that it would implement a new vendor code from the International Organization for Standardization that would be specific to gun vendors.
