GOC LEGAL SOS

Two weeks ago the Supreme Court kicked the 2^nd Amendment community in the
gut when they rejected ([1]denied certiorari) all gun-related lawsuits that
had been pending before it. Suddenly, the future of all 2nd Amendment cases
before lower courts was in question.

But there is good news on the horizon, and GOC is proud to be at the front
of the legal pack. GOC filed an amicus (friend of the court) [2]brief with
the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of [3]Rodriguez v. San
Jose and the court indicated this week they are interested reviewing the
petition.

WHAT’S THE CASE ABOUT AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
* In 2013, Lori Rodriguez had her husband's and her firearms confiscated
by a police officer, without a warrant, after Lori's husband had been taken
into custody on a mental health hold. Despite no emergency justifying the
confiscation, the officer ordered her to unlock the safe and turn over all
weapons -- including her own.
* Even though Rodriguez provided all necessary assurances to demonstrate
that her husband would not have access to the firearms if they were
returned, and even though she also demonstrated full compliance with the
onerous California firearms laws, San Jose has continued to refuse to
return the firearms.
* The federal district court and the Ninth Circuit dismissed her lawsuit
to order San Jose to return her firearms, and so now she has filed the
present petition for review with the Supreme Court.
* The petition is asking the Supreme Court to review questions relating
to the warrantless seizure (4th Amendment) and the circumvention of the 2nd
Amendment.

This case will give the high court the opportunity to rule on the actual
historical text and tradition of how and why the 2nd Amendment was written
at the founding of America, rather than a decision-making method that is a
multi-step judicially-created process. This could have very broad, positive
implications for the 2nd Amendment.

“Friend of the Court Hero” because we’ve been willing to jump into the fray
with key legal support once cases get to the appellate courts. With sales
of guns skyrocketing (June set another record) and the Left calling it
“madness” we must stay on our toes legally, legislatively and in the
elections. [5]HELP US NOW!
