HUGE WIN @ SCOTUS!
In a 6-3 decision in Wolford v. Lopez, the Court roundly struck down Hawaii's oppressive "sensitive places" law. Similar laws in states like California are now on very shaky ground.
Justice Alito was clear in his majority opinion: "'Overwhelming evidence' shows an 'enduring American tradition permitting public carry.' Hawaii's prohibitions on public carry represent a distinct outlier."
We agree and we've been providing critical amicus brief support in cases like Wolford, and will redouble our efforts with the weight of today's decision. Please consider supporting us today! https://t.co/KdU3WQskY6
As the Supreme Court winds up its current term, the question of "what is an arm?" remains unsettled. The double standard upholds restrictions on ammo, suppressors, and other devices, while leading to a 20-year sentence for possessing cut up gun parts.
2ALC and our allies at @2AFDN , @NRA , @CRPAnews , and Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus are fighting back with their amicus brief in Adamiak v. U.S.
