All together now: Thank you, Donald J. Trump! The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) join in congratulating President Donald Trump for his Executive Order Friday protecting Second Amendment Rights. “It is reassuring that after four long years of the executive branch assaulting our Second Amendment rights…
Yes, this is real. What a time to be alive! According to the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), a district court has ruled that members of the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) nationwide can soon apply for a non-resident carry permit in California. The United States District Court for the Central District of California issued a preliminary…
When it comes to gun laws, Massachusetts is nearly as bad as New York … just quieter. Massachusetts doesn’t have a divisive governor like Kathy Hochul, nor does it have the same extensive record of trying to dodge the provisions of the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision. What it does have is amusing accents, the world’s…

And here I thought it was lost forever in that tragic boating accident! In totally unrelated news, the Supreme Court made a ruling, and as it turns out, the ATF is actually not allowed to decide that a gun part is the same thing as a machine gun. It must have been one crushing blow…
“Remember that the bell tolls also for you.” By now, everyone in America knows that Donald Trump was recently convicted of 34 felony charges in New York. Everyone in America also knows that convicted felons lose their Second Amendment rights until such time as a court restores them (which is a big “if”). Four years…
The mainstream media cannot and will not stop lying about the Second Amendment, and they don’t care that you know. Today, we’re in receipt of a very interesting new poll courtesy of the Second Amendment Foundation, but the most interesting part isn’t the poll itself, but the conclusions you have to draw from it. You…
Thinking of traveling to the Turks and Caicos Islands this summer for a little sun and sand? You might want to think again. Those particular islands have made something of a sport out of arresting, jailing, and fining Americans for having loose ammunition in their luggage. On each and every case of this happening, the…
The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) is pleased to announce a special collaboration with Blackout Coffee, a staunch Second Amendment advocate, to produce a special SAF roast.
