"The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self defense in the home."

GOAL Signs on to State Firearm Association Amicus Brief in Heller Case

Read the Brief

On Monday, February 11, 2008 Gun Owners' Action League joined 39 other state firearm associations in filing an amicus brief on the Heller case. This landmark case may well decide the future of freedom for this nation and indeed that world.

"We here in Massachusetts know all too well what takes place when a government removes our freedom," said Jim Wallace Executive of Gun Owners' Action League. "The lessons learned here in Massachusetts emphasize the failure of gun control laws and the removal of freedom in the name of so-called safety. People who commit criminal firearm actions are [generally] not worthy of the freedom that the second amendment is designed to provide. It is obvious that this sector of society does not have the ability to responsibly live in a free society. Therefore it is equally obvious that a free society should never suffer a loss of freedom as a result of those who are not capable [of living responsibly].”

The brief was prepared by:
