South Carolina gun owners showed up, and Attorney General Alan Wilson heard them.
After Palmetto Gun Rights mobilized grassroots gun owners to contact his office, Attorney General Wilson joined an amicus “friend of the court” brief to the U.S. Supreme Court challenging so-called “Assault Weapons” Bans in Viramontes v. Cook County and Grant v. Higgins.
Earlier this summer, Palmetto Gun Rights called on South Carolina gun owners to contact Attorney General Wilson and encourage him to file or join a pro-Second Amendment amicus brief before the filing deadline passed.
Why These Cases Matter
These are not just narrow disputes over gun laws in other states.
The next time anti-gun Democrats control the White House, the Senate, and the House at the same time, the gun grabbers will move immediately to ban and confiscate every so-called “Assault Weapon” in America.
They’ve said so.
They’ve introduced the bills.
The only thing standing between Americans’ firearms and a federal “Assault Weapons” Ban is the constitutional standard this Supreme Court could soon set.
With the U.S. Supreme Court about to hear oral arguments and rule on these critical Second Amendment cases, South Carolina needed to join this high-stakes fight.
And because pro-gun patriots flooded Attorney General Wilson’s office with messages encouraging action, South Carolina did.
Grassroots Pressure Works
This is what an organized, mobilized grassroots base can do.
Politicians respond to grassroots support. South Carolina gun owners applied it, and it worked.
Victories like this show why sustained grassroots involvement is so important to the right to keep and bear arms.
Palmetto Gun Rights is proud to stand alongside its members and supporters in the fight to safeguard and restore the Second Amendment for decades to come.
Thank you to every South Carolina pro-gun patriot who took action. Keep fighting, and PGR will keep claiming victories.
