Gun Owners Foundation is fighting for your gun rights in America's highest courts. Consider some high profile cases where GOF is currently active:

  • NYSRP v. NY City. In the first case to be heard before the U.S. Supreme Court in nearly a decade, GOF’s hard-hitting amicus brief seeks to provide relief to those in anti-gun states by challenging the “interest balancing” applied by anti-gun judges. 
  • GOA v. Barr. GOF challenges President Trump’s unlawful and reckless ban on bump stocks, which potentially made over half a million people felons overnight. The case is currently being litigated in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
  • Duncan v. Becerra. In this case, GOF is challenging California law which bans any magazine that can hold over ten rounds.

Without the support of gun owners across the country, none of these efforts would be possible. Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to GOF’s Legal Defense Fund!

Gun Owners Foundation Files Two Briefs Challenging Federal Machine Gun Ban

On November 2, Gun Owners Foundation filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit an amicus brief in support of a challenge to the federal machine gun ban, ironically passed as part of the 1986 Firearm Owners Protection Act. 

Gun Owners not only argues that possession of machine guns by Americans is compatible with the Second Amendment, we argue that Supreme Court opinions have bolstered this view.  Our brief argues that the Second Amendment is not about hunting or target shooting, but about self-defense against individuals and/or the state. 

Finally, the Gun Owners’ brief ridicules those who say that fully-automatic machineguns are far too terrifying and powerful for ordinary people to own, and we take the ATF to task for its bait-n-switch tactics.
