Hawaii Firearms Coalition File Lawsuit Over Mag Capacity :: 08/21/2020
The Ninth Circuit made a decision on magazine capacity that floored a lot of us.

NRA Files Lawsuit Against NY In Retaliation :: 08/07/2020
The state of New York is trying to kill the National Rifle Association. While the state may claim all sorts of things in their legal action against the nation’s oldest civil rights organization, the truth of the matter is that all they’re doing is in an effort to destroy an ideological opponent. Oh, they might say the NRA isn’t spending money appropriately, but do you think they really give a damn what happens to the money folks like us donate to the NRA? Do you think the state of New York actually cares about us and our efforts to protect our Second Amendment rights?
