ASA & LEADING 2A ORGANIZATIONS FILE AMICUS BRIEF IN US SUPREME COURT
On March 28, 2026, the National Rifle Association, Second Amendment Foundation, American Suppressor Association, and Independence Institute filed an amicus brief in the US Supreme Court in support of a National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) case against the Attorney General of New York. The case, National Shooting Sports Foundation v. James, seeks to uphold the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA).
The Second Amendment protects manufacturers and sellers’ right to make, distribute, and sell firearms and firearm components through lawful commerce. We cannot allow this constitutional right to be threatened by institutionalized and weaponized lawfare.
CASE STATUS
NSSF v. JAMES
Supreme Court of the United States
Case #25-1026
Latest Action: 6/15/2026
Action: Petition for writ of certiorari denied
Next Action: Case concluded at the Supreme Court - no further action
On June 15, 2026, the Supreme Court denied the petition for certiorari. The denial leaves the Second Circuit's ruling in place and does not decide the merits of the PLCAA question. ASA joined this brief alongside the NRA, the Second Amendment Foundation, and the Independence Institute, and will continue to support efforts to defend PLCAA against state-level workarounds.
