US Department of Education) check out our official press release by visiting mslegal.org/cases/moms-for…

Moms For Liberty ends in VICTORY!!! 🤍 The federal government was attempting to pressure schools, teachers, students, and parents into adopting the government’s preferred language and views on gender...or risk federal consequences. We argued that the government has no authority to compel Americans to speak against their conscience or punish them for acknowledging biological reality. Today, we celebrate a significant win for free speech, parental rights, and the principle that government cannot compel Americans to say what they do not believe. 💯

“We are so grateful to the Attorney General for facilitating a timely resolution of this case, Florida’s firearms waiting period laws have nothing to do with public safety – in fact they make people less safe; and instead, only make it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment protected rights to keep and bear arms. For that reason, these laws need to be abandoned. And it looks like that is exactly what is going to happen in Florida. And, with our partners at the NRA, we will continue to work hard to spread this trend across the entire country!" - Director of the Center to Keep and Bear Arms, Michael McCoy, MSLF Dunn v. Glass Press Release

HUGE win by @NRA, @MSLF, and @FuddBusters in the Sunshine State 💪 🇺🇸

🚨 BIG WIN FOR THE SECOND AMENDMENT 🚨 The ink is drying on a major victory in Florida. In Dunn v. Glass, Mountain States Legal Foundation successfully challenged Florida's firearm waiting period laws, paving the way for both provisions to be struck down. A delayed constitutional right is a denied constitutional right. This victory reaches far beyond Florida, strengthening our ongoing challenges to waiting period laws in Colorado and New Mexico and advancing the fight for Second Amendment rights nationwide. None of this happens without supporters like you. Thank you for standing with us as we defend constitutional freedoms and create lasting change across America. #SecondAmendment #Constitution #MSLF #DunnvGlass #DefendFreedom

Mountain States Legal Foundation is honored to recognize Israel Del Toro as the recipient of the 2026 MSLF Medal of Courage Award 🏅 Israel is a decorated Air Force veteran who survived a devastating blast in Afghanistan that burned over 80% of his body and cost him the full use of his hands. Despite being declared 100% disabled, he showed remarkable courage by choosing to remain in the Air Force, becoming the first airman ever to reenlist under those circumstances. Israel has never let his injuries define him. That includes his determination to exercise his Second Amendment right to self-defense. Colorado’s sweeping 🔫 control law bans these very items, effectively leaving Israel with no practical means to defend himself. Instead, he is told he must navigate layers of bureaucratic red tape only to be left with tools he cannot physically operate. This is more than unfair—it’s an attack on the very freedoms Israel risked his life to defend. No veteran, no citizen, no American should be denied the ability to protect themselves in the way that works for them. The government has no authority to regulate that right away.
