A shocker for some, I know, but Massachusetts has decided that it knows better than the Supreme Court and the American people when it comes to the Second Amendment, and it has outright banned entire classes of handguns, despite the highest court in the land repeatedly affirming that handguns are protected under the Constitution. But Firearms Policy Coalition has been fighting back in this case, and they have just asked a court for summary judgment, which means let’s make this final, Your Honor. Stick around, because today I’m breaking down this major lawsuit and what it means for your gun rights where you live.

All right, let’s talk about what’s going on. Firearms Policy Coalition filed this case a long time ago and recently filed its final summary judgment brief in the case of Granada v. Campbell at the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts. This lawsuit is challenging the state’s outright ban on certain handguns, some of the most commonly owned firearms in the land. We’re talking about guns like, I don’t know, the last two generations of the Glock 19, which is one of the most popular self-defense handguns in the world.

Now, according to Firearms Policy Coalition, Massachusetts is ignoring the Supreme Court precedent by banning handguns that they deem unsafe based off of arbitrary requirements. But let’s be real here. This isn’t about safety, it’s about control, and Massachusetts isn’t the only state that has a handgun roster. So let’s break down why this ban is blatantly unconstitutional. The FPC lawsuit argues that Massachusetts is directly violating the rulings from two landmark Supreme Court cases. District of Columbia v. Heller, with my buddy Dick Heller, that’s from 2008, and the more recent New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruin, which came down in 2022.

In Heller, the Supreme Court made it crystal clear that handguns are in common use for self-defense and cannot be banned outright. And Bruin reinforced that any gun control in this land must be rooted in historical tradition, and spoiler alert, there is no historical tradition of banning commonly used firearms, especially handguns, in Massachusetts or anywhere else. Yet, Massachusetts thinks that it can just ignore that and decide for its residents what firearms they can and cannot own. But the Constitution doesn’t say, shall not be infringed, except in Massachusetts. This case isn’t just about Massachusetts, it’s about the entire country.

If this ban is upheld, any other anti-gun state can just follow Massachusetts’ lead and start banning commonly owned handguns. And this is why organizations like Firearms Policy Coalition are so important. They’re not just fighting for the rights of the people in one state, they’re fighting for the entire nation’s Second Amendment rights. And it’s not just about law-abiding gun owners. By restricting access to legal, reliable handguns, Massachusetts is making it harder for people, especially women and the elderly, to defend themselves from violent criminals. Meanwhile, do you honestly think that criminals care what’s on a so-called approved roster for handguns? Of course not.

Now, this case is going to have major implications for the future of gun rights in America. And the Supreme Court has already ruled that these kind of bans are unconstitutional. Yet states like Massachusetts just don’t care. And that’s why we have to stay informed and stay engaged and keep fighting for our rights.

On April 19th, 2025, Lexington, Massachusetts will commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington with a series of organized events, right where the American Revolution started 250 years ago, the Lexington Battle Green. It is a place that I have been many times, and I used to go to a lot just to just sit there and meditate and just, you know, pay homage to the people who gave up everything for a belief that turned into the United States of America.

Now that I don’t live there anymore, it’s tough that I can’t just go there. However, you can join me there. Additionally, Gun Owners Action League, which is goal, is hosting the Battle Continues Dinner at 5 p.m. at the Boxborough Regency Hotel and Conference Center in Boxborough, Massachusetts, bringing together Second Amendment advocates to honor American liberty and support ongoing advocacy efforts. It’s a fundraiser. I will be there, as will speakers Lieutenant Colonel Allen West, Dick Heller, yes, the Dick Heller from Heller vs. DC, Adam Kraut, my buddy who’s the executive director of Second Amendment Foundation, Cam Edwards, my buddy who’s from Kamenco, my friend Toby Leary from Cape Gunworks, Rapid Fire Radio, and Civil Rights Coalition of Massachusetts.

Toby’s busy. Jim Wallace, the executive director of Goal, and Doug Hamlin, the EVP and CEO, the executive vice president and chief executive officer now of the NRA. That should be a great night for patriots in the place where it all began. Now, the link is down below for the flyer and tickets if you want to join us at this event, and I really hope to see you there. Man, 250 years. This is the longest-running freedom-based experiment the globe has ever seen, and it’s on us to keep it that way. We deserve to keep this country free.

Not only do we deserve it, but our children and our grandchildren deserve to be handed a country that’s freer than it was when we got it from our parents. Guys and gals, thank you for watching Guns N’ Gadgets, where we bring you the latest on the Second Amendment rights and the fight that never ever ends. Stay safe, stay armed, and stay free. I’ll see you on the next one, and I really, really hope to see you out there at the event for Goal, as well as the anniversary of the start of the American Revolution. Guys and gals, I appreciate y’all.

See you on the next one. Take care. [tr:trw].
