BELLEVUE, Wash. — The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) is pleased to announce the hiring of Kostas Moros as Director of Legal Research and Education.
Moros brings 10 years of experience to the SAF team with six years directly litigating Second Amendment cases in California. His accomplishments include helping preliminarily enjoin several aspects of California’s overbearing “gun free zones” law that the State passed to undermine the right to carry, and he was instrumental in making non-resident carry a reality for the first time in California’s modern history. Moros is a member of several federal circuit courts, as well as the Supreme Court Bar, and has authored numerous amicus briefs, a law review article on why bans on common rifles are historically baseless and dozens of articles on gun policy. He maintains a very active presence on X under the handle @MorosKostas.
“Along with other members of the SAF team, I have worked with Kostas for several years and have seen firsthand the quality of his work and the passion he has for protecting our right to keep and bear arms,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “We’re excited to have Kostas join the team as a full-time employee and look forward to watching SAF’s research and education programs grow under his leadership.”
In his new role, Moros is responsible for producing original research and policy positions for publication, coordinating and preparing amicus briefs and handling or assisting litigation as needed. He will also help identify educational opportunities for the organization and see those through to completion.
“I’ve worked in the Second Amendment litigation space in California for several years, but I am excited about the opportunity this new role presents,” Moros said. “While California remains a hotbed of gun control rhetoric and senseless laws, this new position will allow me use my past experience to help SAF ensure our constitutional rights are defended, secured and restored across the nation.”
Floored and humbled by all your positive responses to this news. I’ll try to be worthy of the praise! https://t.co/mRtdH6n2tb
