SAF Joins Amicus Urging Supreme Court to Grant Cert in Rights Restoration Case

BELLEVUE, Wash. —— The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners have filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court urging the court to grant certiorari in Duarte v. United States, a case challenging the federal ban on firearm possession by nonviolent felons.

SAF is joined in the filing by the National Rifle Association, Firearms Policy Coalition and FPC Action Foundation.

“The Ninth Circuit’s ruling defies Heller, Bruen, and Rahimi by upholding a lifetime disarmament of someone who committed nonviolent offenses, ignoring that our historical tradition only supports disarming ‘dangerous’ persons – those with a proven proclivity for violence or threats to government,” said SAF Director of Legal Research and Education Kostas Moros. “From colonial laws targeting violent threats to founding-era ratification proposals protecting ‘peaceable citizens,’ the shared common denominator has always been danger, and no precedent exists for stripping Second Amendment rights from nonviolent felons. We urge the Court to intervene and clarify that felon bans are ‘presumptively lawful’ only when applied to dangerous individuals.” Read more

Hunters OK After Encounter with Three Grizzly Bears East of Seeley Lake

Fortunately, two hunters are uninjured after an encounter with three grizzly bears on the morning of Nov. 5 on the Pyramid Pass Trail east of Seeley Lake.

The hunters had harvested a mule deer buck earlier in the morning and were hiking to retrieve the deer when they encountered the bears. They were about two miles from the Pyramid Pass Trailhead when they saw three grizzly bears approximately 100 yards away, running towards them.

The hunters reported that they yelled at the bears and waved their arms, but the bears continued running towards the hunters without slowing down. One hunter shot at and possibly killed two of the grizzly bears, and the third bear retreated towards the mule deer carcass.

The hunters left the site right away and immediately reported the incident as self-defense to Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks. The U.S. Forest Service has posted signs at the Pyramid Pass Trailhead to alert visitors of the recent bear activity. Read more
