Idaho 2nd Amendment Alliance
The following is an email I sent out to Idaho Second Amendment Alliance supporters regarding a proposal to dramatically reduce pro-Second Amendment stances from the Idaho GOP platform: The Idaho Republican Party is about to vote tomorrow at the summer convention on a proposal that would gut the party’s pro‑Second Amendment platform. Not trim it. Not tweak […]
The gun‑control group Moms Demand Action endorsed David Roth, making him the only 2026 Idaho candidate to receive their backing. Their endorsement isn’t easy to get; candidates must align with the group’s anti‑Second Amendment positions to qualify. But Roth won’t be on the ballot after all. Roth abruptly withdrew from the race after Democrat Party […]
While Democrats are often associated with supporting gun‑control measures, the Idaho Second Amendment Alliance says some Republicans also oppose key firearm reforms, pointing specifically to State Senator Jim Guthrie (R‑Inkom). Guthrie has long been viewed by the ISAA as a major obstacle to expanding gun rights in Idaho. Although he has supported certain pro‑gun bills, […]
For years, the Idaho Second Amendment Alliance has warned lawmakers about a growing problem: innocent Americans, including Idahoans, who lawfully defend themselves or their loved ones are being dragged through the criminal justice system, slapped with massive legal bills, and forced to fight for their freedom long after the threat is gone. That ends with […]
Idaho is one of the strongest states in the nation for gun rights. But that doesn’t mean the work is done, not even close. Yes, we’ve already secured the big wins. We’re not fighting over Constitutional Carry, Open Carry, magazine bans, or rifle bans like other states. But that doesn’t mean Idaho is perfect, and […]
For nearly twenty years, gun manufacturers have relied on the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) to shield them from politically motivated lawsuits based on the criminal misuse of firearms. But that long‑standing protection is beginning to erode, and surprisingly, the threat isn’t coming from blue states. It’s coming from red ones. Idaho […]
The Idaho legislature needs to take a hard look at what’s happening in Virginia, a full‑blown anti‑gun barrage, and apply the opposite tactic in one of the reddest states in the country. Virginia, under its new Democratic leadership, is facing more than a dozen gun‑control bills. That’s in a single session, simply because Democrats now […]
What’s moving quietly through these conservative legislatures is a bill aimed at cell phone and tablet manufacturers, holding them civilly liable if a minor accesses harmful content on a device. On the surface, it’s marketed as a “child‑protection” measure. But beneath the surface, it creates the exact legal framework that anti‑gun states have been trying […]
Idaho passed its Campus Carry law in 2014, which is heavily restrictive and in desperate need of changes. Liberal Republicans have long held up the ability to change the law. While Constitutional Carry on campus remains our end goal, there are changes we can make now to move toward it. Short of just doing Constitutional […]
State Senator Christy Zito (R – Mountain Home) sat down with Idaho Second Amendment Alliance President Greg Pruett to discuss the 2026 Idaho legislative session and what it means for gun owners. There is a lot of work to do in 2026, and that begins with the legislative session. Being an election year, lawmakers will […]
