🚨 Breaking: We’re Taking the AR-15 Fight into the Supreme Court!

Dear Friend —

I’m going to get right to it.

The Missouri Firearms Coalition is submitting an Amicus Brief to the United States Supreme Court over the AR-15 ban that took effect in Illinois last year, and we need your help right away!

I know, I know, this is Missouri, not Illinois.

But there’s a reason for this that I’ll explain below. First, I want to explain why RIGHT NOW is the time to get into court.

Whatever you think of President Trump, the impact of his judicial nominations will be felt for decades to come.

During his four years in office, Trump successfully appointed a staggering 174 Federal District Court judges. This is the lowest court in the federal process, but these are lifetime appointments!

In addition, Trump added 54 Federal Circuit Court judges to the bench. Circuit Courts hear all appeals from District Court.

And, of course, everyone knows that Trump appointed 3 Associate Justices to the United State Supreme Court.

Over the last few years, we’ve seen the results.

Dozens of state and federal gun control laws have been blocked in District Court. Most of these cases have been upheld in Circuit Courts across the country. And then there was the massive Bruen decision from the United States Supreme Court in 2022!

The Bruen decision reshaped the Second Amendment field.

Previously, courts analyzed gun control laws through a two-pronged approach. First, was the law in question an infringement on an individual right covered by the Heller Decision?

If not, the court then applied ‘means-end scrutiny.’ Judges would decide if the gun law furthered a ‘governmental interest.’

Since the majority of federal judges certainly prior to Trump were anti-gun, they almost ALWAYS found a ‘governmental interest’ to justify and uphold gun control laws.

That’s why 90% of the legal challenges filed in court in the wake of the Heller decision from 2008 failed!

Bruen changed all of that. Now gun control laws need to pass the first two criteria but must also show that the law has a historical precedent that justifies its existence.

Writing for the majority, Clarence Thomas said:

We hold that when the Second Amendment’s plain text covers an individual’s conduct, the Constitution presumptively protects that conduct. To justify its regulation, the government may not simply posit that the regulation promotes an important interest. Rather, the government must demonstrate that the regulation is consistent with this Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.

This new judicial standard is why now is the best time to fight in court in generations. And MOFC is not hesitating!

HELP US FIGHT IN THE SUPREME COURT!

Our gun rights are a precarious thing.

Right now, here in Missouri, our freedoms are relatively secure because MOFC members like you have decimated the ranks of the Radical Left and RINOs in Jeff City for years.

No, Jefferson City isn’t the problem.

The problem is that we have a tyrant in the White House who shouts into a microphone every three days that he’s going to ban AR-15s and 30-round magazines forever.

Worse, hundreds of members of Congress agree with him, including some backstabbing Republicans! Make no mistake, if the Left gets the votes to pass this ban, they’ll do it immediately!

That’s why we NEED the United States Supreme Court to weigh in on the constitutionality of such a ban, right away.

But it’s no easy getting a case heard by SCOTUS.

The process itself is simple. The party must file what’s known as a certiorari petition (cert petition) asking the court to agree to hear the case. And four justices must agree with the cert petition for the case to make it onto the docket.

That’s the hard part.

Because whenever a gun rights organization seeks a cert petition with the United States Supreme Court, dozens of Leftist groups file Amicus Briefs urging the court to refuse the case.

It’s easy for them.

With almost limitless funds from Soros or Bloomberg-backed organizations, their lawyers can file briefs one after the next.

But if gun rights organizations like the Missouri Firearms Coalition flood the court with Amicus Briefs urging the court to take the challenge out of Illinois, we could tip the scale.

We need to try.

HELP US FILE OUR AMICUS BRIEF!

You already know the reason: If the United States Supreme Court strikes down the ‘assault weapons ban’ in Illinois, Joe Biden won’t be able to pass an AR-15 ban in Congress!

And since there is no ‘assault weapons’ ban for us to sue over here in Missouri, aiding our neighbors in Illinois is the right call, especially since their case could be heard VERY SOON.

I’m sure you can see why we’re so excited to proceed!

But filing Amicus Briefs with the Supreme Court isn’t cheap. And, given the timetable that we are working with (I’ve had to tell our lawyers to work very quickly) the costs rise fast.

And that’s why I am emailing to you today.

It is imperative that MOFC raises $33,000 in the next three weeks, to make sure that our lawyers can join this cert petition with the hardest hitting Amicus Brief possible!

HELP US BLOCK BIDEN’S AR-15 BAN!

Your support will enable our lawyers to review the Illinois case, the decisions from the lower court judges, and the Amicus Briefs filed by the gun control organizations.

Once that’s done, they’ll be able to craft our Amicus Brief to fit the situation.

But we have to hurry.

With the cert petition having been filed, we must file our Amicus Brief in support in 30 days.

But this may be our best chance at ensuring that the Left is NEVER ABLE to pass an ‘assault weapons’ ban in Congress!

P.S. The State of Illinois passed an ‘assault weapons’ ban last year, banning AR-15’s and much more. Gun owners in Illinois have fought this case through the lower courts, and now are asking the United States Supreme Court to take up their case!

Bloomberg and other Left-leaning organizations are trying to stop this, because this is the most pro-gun court in our lifetime.

This is about much more than Illinois.

If the Supreme Court overturns the Illinois AR-15 ban, it will ensure that Joe Biden is NEVER ABLE to pass an ‘assault weapons’ ban in Congress — this is our time!

But first, the Court needs to agree to take up this case. That’s why the Missouri Firearms Coalition is filing an Amicus Brief, urging the Court to review the Illinois case. But we need help!
