BELLEVUE, Wash., June 19, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A surprising victory for gun rights in Puerto Rico has eliminated the firearms registry and licensing requirements to purchase and carry in the Commonwealth, the Second Amendment Foundation has confirmed.

As of now, according to Sandra Barreras with Ladies of the Second Amendment (LSA), the group that brought the lawsuit, "there is no regulation to purchase or carry (and) all purchases will be handled in accordance with federal firearms regulations." LSA is affiliated with SAF through the International Association for the Protection of Civilian Arms Rights (IAPCAR).

This was a class action lawsuit involving more than 850 individual plaintiffs, she reported to SAF offices.

I didn't know there was an International Association for the Protection of Civilian Arms Rights (IAPCAR).

I can think of a couple of States which should follow the lead of Puerto Rico, a Protectorate.
