Gun laws passed while Gavin Newsom was governor of California that further restricted when and where a legal gun owner could carry or possess firearms was challenged in 2023 by the FPC stating, "...that in the now stated 'sensitive' areas it is unconstitutional to take away the firearms of law-abiding citizens residing in the identified zones.

[21] During the COVID-19 pandemic, Adam Kraut, then director of legal strategy at the FPC became involved in litigation over the mandatory closure by state and local governments of businesses, and in particular gun stores, not deemed essential.

[22] In addition to advocating for less restrictions on gun ownership in the United States, the FPC also states in its mission that it works to lessen restrictions on "blades" as well as "Other defensive arms," and has been involved in civil liberties litigation in areas adjacent to firearms policy but unrelated to the second amendment itself.

[23] The FPC has raised first amendment issues on behalf of a high-school student wearing an FPC patch depicting a rifle, who was instructed by school administration to remove the patch, and has been noted for its opposition to delegating law enforcement powers to private citizens in the fear that those powers would be used to target gun ownership.

The FPC had been actively involved in this case,[25] and president Brandon Combs issued a statement on June 14, 2024, following the successful ruling from the SCOTUS in support of gun rights:This decision helps rein in an out-of-control federal government that has no respect for the People of the United States or our rights.
