Friend of the Second Amendment,
It seems like everywhere we turn...our Second Amendment Gun Rights have not
only been violated---but abandoned! And we will not let this happen to us!
The Second Amendment Foundation
is so much more than a "gun rights activists" group. We are much more than visible on national television news programs. We are so
much more than an encouraging camaraderie of gun activists. Much more!
Quite frankly, about THREE-FOURTHS of our budget is
spent on DEFENDING YOUR GUN RIGHTS IN COURT!
Every owner of a weapon - 80,000,000 of us
-should be indebted to the Second Amendment Foundation, for standing up in various courts of law, to defend the Second Amendment - the rights to keep
and bear arms!
SAF is not some far-out, "gun touting" group...this, according to our Founding Forefathers, is a
"mainstream" group of those who adamantly cling to the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution!
Please CLICK HERE to give a generous DONATION to the Second
Amendment Foundation to assist us in communicating about the real benefits to gun-owners in adhering to the Second Amendment! We continue to be
at the legal forefront representing gun-owner rights as we exercise our freedoms which the Second Amendment guarantees! Your Gift will assist us
in our scores of lawsuits that we are handling---RIGHT NOW---in the courts of our land!
But, apparently, the Obama Administration
does not want our group to succeed. Quite frankly, many pro-gun groups are against the ANTI-GUN STRATEGY that this current administration
conveys.
Here are just some of the lawsuits that YOUR Second Amendment Foundation is involved in---and we've spent a lot of money in
exercising our legal rights that are already guaranteed by the United States Constitution. Here is just part of what we are involved in as far as
GUN RIGHTS LEGAL ACTIONS:
- Amicus in San Diego Gun Permit Case...SAF has filed an
amicus brief in a California case that challenges the constitutionality of discretionary gun permit rules adopted by officials in San Diego
County, California.
- SAF and CalGuns Sue California Over "Assault Weapons" Law Arrest...SAF and Calguns
Foundation have filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in California, seeking damages for an unlawful arrest and to have the state's definition of
so-called "assault weapons" declared unconstitutionally vague.
- SAF Sues Illinois Over Ban On Carrying Guns For
Self-Defense...SAF has filed suit in federal court in Illinois, challenging the state's complete prohibition on the carrying of firearms in public
for the purpose of self-defense.
- SAF Challenges Ban on Interstate Handgun Sales...SAF has filed suit in U.S. District
Court in Virginia challenging the constitutionality of federal and Virginia provisions barring handgun sales to non-residents.
- SAF Sues Over Massachusetts Gun Ban For Legal Alien Residents...SAF has filed a federal lawsuit challenging a law in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts that denies legal resident aliens the licenses required to possess a handgun in the home for self-defense, or purchase any kind of
firearm or ammunition.
- SAF Files Federal Lawsuit Against Bloomberg Over Gun Permit Fees...SAF has filed a federal civil
rights lawsuit against New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg that alleges New York City's $340 fee for a permit to keep a handgun in the home is
"excessive and...impermissibly burdens the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms."
- SAF Sues N.J. Officials
For 'Deprivation of Civil Rights' On Permit Denials...SAF filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against several New

someone with a simple misdemeanor conviction on his record.
- SAF Files Amicus Brief in Nordyke Case, Argues For Strict
Scrutiny...SAF has filed an amicus curiae brief in the long-running Nordyke v. King case in California, arguing that Second Amendment issues must
be decided on a "strict scrutiny" basis, and that an ordinance in Alameda County banning gun shows at the county fairgrounds is
unconstitutional because it would not withstand that standard of review.
- SAF Sues Chicago Over Gun Range Prohibition On 1A,
2A Grounds...SAF filed a lawsuit in federal court against the City of Chicago's new gun ordinance, asserting that "by banning gun ranges open
to the public...under color of law," the city is depriving citizens of their right to keep and bear arms in violation of the Second Amendment to
the U.S. Constitution.
- On and on, our work never ceases---ON YOUR BEHALF! Please become involved today in this national
fight!

the right to keep and bear arms in our nation's history.

- SAF Challenges D.C. Handgun Ban
Scheme...SAF and three Washington, D.C. residents filed a lawsuit challenging a regulation by District of Columbia city government that

Washington, D.C. changed the law.

Second Amendment! Obviously, we are very busy---ON YOUR BEHALF---across the United States. Will you assist us today?

university law professors, filed an amicus brief in the suit to overturn the DC Gun Ban. Additionally, 13 state Attorneys General filed an amici
curiae brief in support of the SAF position to protect the right to Keep and Bear Arms.
- SAF Sues to Overturn San Francisco
Gun Ban...The city appealed SAF's initial victory overturning the San Francisco Gun Ban. The California Appeals Court has unanimously ruled to
uphold the lower court's decision, so SAF won again. The city then appealed to the California Supreme Court, which again ruled in SAF's favor.
- SAF Stops New Orleans Gun Confiscation...SAF has negotiated with the City of New Orleans to return the guns they
illegally-seized from law-abiding citizens in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
- This is merely a "sampling" of
our fight for our rights!
But thanks to our anti-gun Obama
administration, it appears that we must fight even harder. If they had their way, our gun rights would have already been ABANDONED! It's not just
our gun rights---it's our Constitutional rights!
These are just some of the numerous lawsuits that the Second Amendment
Foundation has taken on. EACH lawsuit has a "price-tag" of $60,000 - $80,000!!
But, guaranteed it,
we are in this battle for YOU.
The Second Amendment GUARANTEES the freedom to own a gun to protect you and your
family. AND NO ONE WILL EVER TAKE THAT AWAY!
YOU AND I MUST DEMAND that our rights to own a gun are
protected!
