BOSTON (November 20, 2025) — Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) today announced that it has filed a motion for summary judgment in Escher v. Noble, its federal constitutional challenge to Massachusetts’ sweeping ban on the possession and carry of semiautomatic firearms and handguns by law-abiding adults under 21. The motion urges the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts to strike down the Commonwealth’s age-based prohibitions, arguing that the Second Amendment protects these adults and that the state cannot point to any historical tradition supporting its categorical disarmament scheme.

FORT WORTH, TX (November 18, 2025) — Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) today filed a scathing brief responding to a recent Department of Justice motion to gut a major Second Amendment victory in Firearms Policy Coalition, Inc., et al. v.

TRENTON, N.J. (November 13, 2025) – Today, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced that its legal team has filed a motion to add the National Rifle Association (NRA) into the FPC Law case Struck v. Platkin, a challenge to New Jersey’s so-called “1-in-30” firearm purchase ban. The Garden State’s regulatory scheme prohibits law-abiding adults from acquiring more than one firearm in any 30-day period—a restriction that FPC contends has no basis in longstanding Second Amendment precedent or historical tradition.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (October 31, 2025) – Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced today that a petition for a writ of certiorari has been filed with the Supreme Court of the United States in Schoenthal v. Raoul, an FPC-backed lawsuit asking the Court to overturn the Seventh Circuit’s dangerous decision upholding Illinois’s ban on carrying firearms on public transportation. The appellate court's ruling, the petition explains, shreds the clear command of the Constitution and defies the Supreme Court’s Second Amendment precedents.

PORTLAND, Ore. (October 30, 2025) – Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) today confirmed the filing of its Second Amended Complaint (SAC) in Montgomery v. Rosenblum, the federal challenge to Oregon’s unconstitutional ban on personally manufactured firearms (PMFs), enacted through House Bill 2005 (HB 2005). This filing follows the District Court’s September dismissal of the case in an absurdly activist decision that flipped Supreme Court Second Amendment precedent on its head and allowed the State to evade historical scrutiny.
