MSSA v. Holder

In MSSA v. Holder, the Montana Shooting Sports Association (MSSA) and the Second Amendment Foundation are suing in federal court to obtain a ruling in favor of the Montana Firearms Freedom Act (MFFA), which the Montana Legislature passed in 2009.

Legislation similar to the MFFA has become law in Tennessee, and has been introduced in Alaska, Texas, Florida, South Carolina, Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ohio.

This is part of a national movement to assert states' rights in favor of the basic unalienable rights of self-defense and home security.
