Did you know that Second Amendment-protected rights cover not just firearms, but also knives?

Self-Defense: Your Right to Keep & Bear Arms
Don’t punish peaceable Americans for the choices that criminals perpetrate. Criminals should be held utterly responsible for their actions, but let’s stop acting like it is the choice of the gun and not human beings on whether violence is carried out.
VanDerStok v. Garland Win for MSLF
Can the ATF make you a criminal by redefining what you already have in your home as a “firearm”? Not in this case. MSLF just obtained a major victory, along…
Letter to Imperial Beach Mayor & City Council Over Moratorium on Firearms Retailers
Just when you thought California’s gun restrictions could not get any worse, it looks like they can.
Washington state’s pointless and unconstitutional new gun laws
Washington Governor Jay Inslee signed a series of bills aimed at curbing gun violence. The truth is that they are a fruitless endeavor.
Statement from CKBA Director on Colorado Gun Ban Proposal
MSLF’s Center to Keep and Bear Arms is aware of reports that a so-called Assault Weapons Ban will be introduced in the Colorado legislature. We urge legislators to reject such a plan, given that a bill of this nature would be unconstitutional and cost the state unnecessary taxpayer funds to lose and pay attorney fees. If a bill is enacted that prohibits law-abiding citizens from carrying commonly used firearms, the Center stands ready to go to court to fight for our Second Amendment-protected rights.
Demonizing “Gun Culture”
Americans should take pride in a culture of self-defense. No country is perfect, but ours was established with a basic regard for individual rights—including the right to protect ourselves and our communities with appropriate force. This is one of the sharpest distinctions between our nation and totalitarian states of the past and present.
It Can Happen Here
When gun control ideologues like President Biden say you don’t need an AR-15 or standard capacity magazine, they display a fatal foolishness that no country can afford to indulge in. They know what is happening in places like Haiti, yet they act like it can’t happen here.
Sketchy Scholarship
If a right is protected by the Constitution, there should be only one method to evaluate the government’s actions—the Constitutional text, not a tiered system of compromises. As Justice Thomas, who authored the Bruen decision, once said, “A law either infringes a constitutional right, or not; there is no room for the judiciary to invent tolerable degrees of encroachment.”
Violating the Sanctuary
The state of New York—with its quasi-religious commitment to anti-gun ideology—is once again violating the rights of peaceable Americans. State officials are denying religious groups the right to decide whether guns can be permitted on their own property. Disarmament is to be imposed on all, with no regard for the rights of those who may be left vulnerable to mass murder as a result.
