    GOF: The Text, History, and Tradition of the Second Amendment

The end of the year is quickly approaching, and we are gearing up for big fights in 2024.

GOF is one of the nation’s oldest and most prominent defenders of our 2A-protected rights in the court. For 40 years, our Foundation’s top priority has been to defend and restore the Second Amendment against attack by governments at all levels, and it is active in the defense of First and Fourth Amendment rights as well.

Your support is so important to us, because it allows us to continue fighting in the courts for the rich text, history and tradition of the Second Amendment.

GOF and GOA, along with several other pro-gun groups, filed the lawsuit against the state, arguing that the ban violated the Second Amendment rights of gun owners.
