SAF FILES AMICUS URGING SUPREME COURT TO REVERSE VAMPIRE RULE DECISION - Second Amendment Foundation

BELLEVUE, Wash. — Nov. 21, 2025 — The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in Wolford v. Lopez, urging the Court to reverse the Ninth Circuit’s decision upholding Hawaii’s infamous “Vampire Rule.” The Hawaii law, like similar statutes in...

See what happens.

Seems to me , and anyone with even a fiber of common sense, that this one is a “ no brainer”. But we all know how that works out for us.

One would think SCOTUS would HAVE to take up a "vampire rule" case, or an AW-ban case, or a mag-ban case. These things are affecting millions of American citizens, with the potential of affecting ALL Americans should Democrats regain power.
Yet what is SCOTUS focusing on?
18-20 year olds. A small subset of the people being infringed.
Non-violent ex-felons. A VERY small subset of the people being infringed.

I no longer harbor any illusion that SCOTUS intends on finally ending these oppressive and tyrannical laws. The constant delays, denials, and prevarications have reached the point where there is only one logical conclusion left.

One would think but history doesn’t really show us this. One would think these things would have already have been settled but nope.
SAF is an interesting one for me because I think they are the ones that only include their members in the lawsuit to try to increase membership. I get it but I’m not a fan of this. So something and then I’ll be a member. GOA seems to be the best right now.

States rights...........................

Antifa, HAMAS and supporters, greenies, and 20 million felons in the USA, have a hard time passing NICS anywhere.

Concealed Carry, is supposed to be concealed, not displayed on your hip to intimidate the meek. Take a lesson from the ghetto thugs...........all carry concealed.

History, Text, and Tradition was a funny slogan dont ya think?

I'm all for States Rights, so long as they do not usurp the Supremacy Clause.

ANTIFA, and HAMAS do not file 4473's that's the CIA's job to supply Guns..."greenies" aren't prohibited by association or preferences.

You seem to believe the NICS check is the best thing to ever happen to (potential) Gun Owners?

There were 1.4 million checks conducted in November of 2025 (15.2 million in 2024) which seems to be a typical month: I'll just bet you that if someone wants a gun without their name being run through the system, they'll find plenty so long as they can pay.

And they "flash" to let other know they're strapped and not to fuck around.
I have been told that many Jews in the Diamond District of NYC carry guns irrespective of the City's demand for an unobtanium Licenses, and should they have to use it, nobody saw anything and the shooter is immediately sequestered away...nothing really new, I expect it's been that way down there since the first immigrants arrived.

Do you suppose any of those "Ghetto Thugs" submitted to, let alone passed a NICS Check?

Didn't the founding fathers walk around with knives, guns, sabers,swords, in full view?

Biden and the Democraps fucked that subset with "enhanced" Background Checks where their check is delayed two weeks for additional investigation before being allowed to proceed (what was that about a Right delayed is a Right denied?) this is also prior restraint and prejudice on arguably the weakest of Adults.
Additionally, and I swear I thought this was resolved in Court that it was unconstitutional to deny Handgun or "Other" (Frame/Receiver) purchases by persons under 21, yet it still appears to stand.
This is the maddening thing: California's Ban on Magazines over ten rounds is found unconstitutional, while every other State in the Union that has a similar Ban say's "So what, that's California, not here".

The ONLY court case that I care about is the one being brought before the High Court in February .

Nothing else matters to me.

Which one?

 

[GOPerfect]

Automatic citizenship.

 

[Robin]

That will be interesting. Another ruling based on politics? Another ruling based on the constitution and original intent of the existing law?
Well it be the U.S. Supreme court ruling or the Soviet Politburo edict?

To get a gun, you have to deal with ghetto thugs............who may just take your money.

ANTIFA/greenies, TDS are timid, alone, and afraid to enter a Trump gunstore............so the NICS is working to keep us safer.............I never anticipated this benefit, and the DEMS sure did not, as they are the ones hindered from arming themselves ez, like buying a crock pot.

 

[Grimscale]

Talk about "buying a crock".. this is one of the most ignorant statements I've read in a long time.

"afraid to enter a Trump gunstore"? Where the hell did this little tidbit come from?

"TDS are timid"? Yes...they timidly shoot at people with their gun that they DIDN'T get from a gunstore, nor from the local bangers. It just magically appeared in their house one day.

I'm starting to wonder if some posts are pranks.

You may have never set foot in a gun store before....................I have seen many times, Gun store managers, tell customers to get out, due only to their looks.
Usually on video..........

Suspicious or ignorant customers quickly show they know little or nothing about guns, especially about NICS.

Now straw man purchases are harder to detect, if the real buyers are not with the flipper.

In any case the leftists have to have a 3rd party seller..............they are timid for the most part, except the LBGTQ deranged and even then, they do not use first rate weapons, like you own.
