Second Amendment advocates are pursuing multiple lawsuits against gun-control measures in an effort to trigger a Supreme Court challenge that could upend decades of legislation.

The Second Amendment Foundation has filed multiple gun-rights challenges in federal courts across the country. Founder Alan Gottlieb said the muddled nature of state laws, on issues ranging from open carry to the possession of certain weapons, calls out for judicial review from the nation's highest court.

"Politicians making claims that the Second Amendment doesn't apply to so-called assault weapons is exactly why the Supreme Court needs to take all of these cases and put this issue to rest," Gottlieb told the Washington Free Beacon.
