Hollis v. Lynch - Heller Foundation

Plain and simple:

“The Heller Foundation is pleased to announce that it has teamed with Jay Hollis and attorneys Stephen Stamboulieh and Alan Beck to fight the federal restrictions on machine gun ownership,” the foundation elaborated in a case overview post. “District of Columbia v. Heller became the cornerstone for gun owners nationwide to push other important wins through the federal court system. Jay Hollis, Stephen Stamboulieh, Alan Beck, and the Heller Foundation intend to build on those wins in the ongoing battle for the Second Amendment by targeting the National Firearms Act and the machine gun ban.”

The foundation, established after the landmark case named for plaintiff Dick Heller that resulted in Supreme Court recognition that the Second Amendment is an individual right, has declared “a 'no compromise' stance” for the right to keep and bear arms, asserting “[e]ach able bodied person of sound mind should always have the right to stay and be armed with the weapon of their choosing.” That fits closely with the goal of the lawsuit, where Jay Hollis, acting individually and as trustee of a revocable living trust, is suing Attorney General Eric Holder and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Director B. Todd Jones [with his successor’s name to be substituted] in their official capacities for administering, executing and enforcing “statutory and regulatory provisions [that] generally act as an unlawful de facto ban on the transfer or possession of a machine gun manufactured after May 19, 1986.”
