Gun control activist surprised to learn law he stumped for isn't being enforced :: 09/13/2022

SAF and Defense Distributed ghost gun ban busters :: 09/12/2022

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and Defense Distributed have teamed up and are seeking for a federal court to put a stop to the enforcement of California’s unconstitutional law.
