Home News Support FCI Legislation Litigation Resources Events About Us

Our fight began in 1999 when Senator Diane Feinstein made her first attempt to ban .50 caliber rifles. A fledgeling FCSPI rose to the challenge and won. To date at the federal level, we have successfully defeated proposed bans in the the 106th, 107th and 108th Congress. Now the battle has spread nationwide. The anti-gun lobbyists are forum shopping an looking for the best locations that their agenda can be spread. FCI will fight for your rights as long as we can, but we need your support to continue.
