The Idaho State Rifle & Pistol Association, along with 33 other State Associations have determined that we must work together to file an Amicus Brief to bring a case before the United States Supreme Court to obtain a decision that the Second Amendment right to bear arms applies to the individual States. In the case of Heller v. D.C. last year, Justice Scalia’s opinion stated that the decision did NOT resolve the separate question of whether the Second Amendment applies to state and local governments.
Please read the article below, “The State of Heller” to fully understand why the decision to file this Amicus Brief became necessary.
Our unity in the protection of the second amendment is critical and we must get this resolved before President Obama stacks the high court with anti-gun judges giving us no chance to resolve this issue once and for all, and in fact, risk a decision that would devastate our rights. There has never been a more important time for State Associations such as the I.S.R.P.A. to stand up and fight and insist that the Second Amendment be upheld in its purest meaning. The I.S.R.P.A. and all other State Associations need the financial support of its membership, and even those who are not members, in order to do the work that must be done. I make this appeal with the truest sense of urgency!
If you wish to help I.S.R.P.A. defer the enormous costs of filing this brief, donations may be sent to the I.S.R.P.A. Please be sure to include a note with your donation that it is for that specific purpose. Any amount is helpful. If you wish to donate by check, just drop it in the mail to our office, P. O. Box 140293, Boise, ID 83714-0293. We thank you in advance for your support in answering our call to all patriots to step up and be partners with us in the effort to protect the Second Amendment rights of every American.
Yours in Freedom,
Neill Goodfellow, President
Devin Jones, Vice president
Jon Carter, Secretary-Treasurer
