Defending the Second Amendment through knowledge, community, and conviction.
We stand for the individual right to keep and bear arms — and for the responsibility, education, and community that make that right endure. Advocacy that informs. Events that unite. Media that tells the story straight.
An interactive map and scatter of every state’s gun-law grade against its CDC firearm-homicide rate — using Giffords’ and Everytown’s own rankings. The weak national correlation vanishes inside every region. Fifteen cities from New York to St. Louis. Colorado’s seven years and six laws. RAND’s verdict on each. And what a law that does work looks like — helmets, lead, cigarettes — so you can see the difference.
See the data →A federal judge held the NFA registration scheme for suppressors and short-barreled rifles unconstitutional now that the tax is $0 — but only for the plaintiffs, their members, and their customers. ATF’s Director promised guidance and said nothing about an appeal; DOJ says it is “currently assessing,” with an Oct. 5 deadline. And Colorado law still makes an unregistered suppressor a class 5 felony. Who is covered, what each party actually said, and why to keep filing your Form 4.

In Moreno v. Circle K, the court held 5–2 that an employee fired for lawful self-defense has a wrongful-termination claim — the right “is not a right that is left at the door when a person enters the workplace.” Her own case still has to be proven on remand.
Read the Moreno decision →The Supreme Court set Viramontes v. Cook County for argument on December 2. The same day, the Solicitor General filed a brief for the challengers — “Those bans are unconstitutional” — and 27 states joined. Colorado did not sign. Rocky Mountain Gun Owners filed a brief aimed at SB25-003. One thing the case will not decide: magazine limits.
Read the Viramontes breakdown →Boulder, Boulder County, Superior, and Louisville each outlawed magazines over ten rounds. Rather than defend the bans, all four signed a stipulation to stop enforcing them — and a federal judge made it an order in November 2022. On Aug. 28, 2026 the court paused the case and “administratively closed” it to wait on the Supreme Court — a docket move, not a dismissal, and the enforcement stay was not lifted. Read the order, the exact quotes, and who can and cannot enforce what. Colorado’s statewide 15-round cap is untouched and still applies.
Read the Boulder stay →Ten days after the permit-to-purchase law took effect, the plaintiffs in Del Toro v. Polis asked a federal judge to halt it — backed by two sheriffs’ sworn declarations and evidence that fewer than 20 of 64 counties can even issue the card. The next day NRA-ILA counsel joined the legal team.
Read the SB25-003 case update →A federal judge just heard oral argument on whether Colorado’s three-day waiting period is constitutional. Gun owners cite the Tenth Circuit striking New Mexico’s wait; the state says a background check justifies the delay. A decision is pending — here’s the breakdown and the court’s own order.
Read the 3-Day Wait case →Since July 1, 2025 Colorado requires proof of competence to renew a concealed handgun permit — and nearly everyone reports that as “you must take a class.” The statute says otherwise: the class is one of five alternatives, and the first one listed is participation in organized shooting competitions. We quote C.R.S. § 18-12-211(3) in full and show what fifteen county sheriffs actually say — six of them tell permittees a class is mandatory.
