PORTLAND, Ore. – Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) today confirmed the filing of its Second Amended Complaint (SAC) in Montgomery v. Rosenblum, the federal challenge to Oregon’s unconstitutional ban on personally manufactured firearms (PMFs), enacted through House Bill 2005 (HB 2005).

This filing follows the District Court’s September dismissal of the case in an absurdly activist decision that flipped Supreme Court Second Amendment precedent on its head and allowed the State to evade historical scrutiny.
FPC’s SAC demonstrates that the combined force of Oregon’s statutes, which ban the possession of both unserialized precursors and finished self-made firearms, functions as a total and absolute prohibition on the right to make one’s own arms.
It also surgically addresses the district court’s flawed order by exhaustively linking the ban directly to conduct and arms that are indisputably protected by the Second Amendment. This makes crystal clear that Oregon’s laws amount to an unconstitutional ban and that it is the State’s burden to justify them using relevant history—which it cannot do.
