Via Shootingillustrated.com by Guy J. Sagi A study released by Pew Research Center on Aug. 10 found that 72 percent of the gun-owning citizens it polled in early June cited protection as their primary purpose for owning a firearm.

Via GunMag.com by Dave Workman The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit against Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox, alleging “substantial and untenable delays in the police department’s processing of firearms license applications.” It is a complaint that many gun owners have made in other jurisdictions over the years, alleging foot-dragging by gun permit issuing agencies which amounts to delaying the exercise of a constitutionally protected fundamental right to bear arms. SAF is joined by the Firearms Policy Coalition, Commonwealth Second Amendment and four private citizens, Leslie Good, Kenley Exume, Robert Cox and Rudolph White. They are represented by attorneys David…

By Dean Weingarten Via Ammoland Inc Ninth Circuit Reverses Prior Ban: The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned Hawaii’s ban on butterfly knives, citing its unconstitutionality under the Second Amendment, based on the individual right to keep & bear arms. Law-Abiding Citizens Are Not Criminals: The court dismissed Hawaii’s arguments that butterfly knives are mainly tools for criminals, stating that the mere use of any arms by criminals shouldn’t prevent law-abiding citizens from possessing them. Hawaii hasn’t provided evidence proving butterfly knives are not for lawful purposes. Judicial Chenanigians: Who has the right to sue — Judicial Standing has become a mechanism for the…
