A 2001 article in the Los Angeles Times described Angelucci as "a Green Party member with socialist sympathies". He had an autistic brother.

In 2008, he won the Woods v. Horton case in a California appellate court, which ruled that the California State Legislature had improperly excluded men from domestic violence victim protection programs.{{cite web |url=https://www.sbsun.com/2020/07/12/mens-rights-activist-fatally-shot-in-front-of-home-in-san-bernardino-mountains/ |title= Men's rights activist fatally shot in front of home in San Bernardino Mountains |last=Licas|first=Eric |date= July 12, 2020|website=The San Bernardino Sun |access-date=July 22, 2020 |quote=}}{{cite web |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-culture-news/men-s-rights-attorney-marc-angelucci-s-fatal-shooting-prompts-n1233680 |title= Men's rights attorney Marc Angelucci's fatal shooting prompts investigation |last=Aviles|first=Gwen |date= July 13, 2020|publisher=NBC News |access-date=July 22, 2020 |quote=}}

In 2013, Angelucci sued the Selective Service System on behalf of the NCFM on the basis that there is no reason to exclude women from the draft.{{cite web |url=https://www.npr.org/2019/03/01/699481953/court-ruling-renews-debate-on-women-and-the-draft?t=1595401472847 |title= Court Ruling Renews Debate On Women And The Draft |last=Welna|first=David |date= March 1, 2019|publisher=NPR |access-date=July 22, 2020 |quote=}} Federal judge Gray H. Miller ruled that the male-only draft is unconstitutional in February 2019, stating that "historical restrictions on women in the military may have justified past discrimination" but that the rationale does not apply anymore as women serve in combat roles as well.{{cite web |url=https://edition.cnn.com/2019/02/25/politics/male-only-draft-unconstitutional/index.html |title= Federal judge rules male-only draft is unconstitutional|last=Biskupic|author-link=Joan Biskupic|first=Joan |date= February 25, 2019|website=|publisher= CNN|access-date=July 22, 2020 |quote=}} In August 2020, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit upheld the constitutionality of the male-only draft, invoking {{lang|la|stare decisis}} with respect to the earlier and precedential Supreme Court decision Rostker v.

Angelucci appeared in the 2016 documentary The Red Pill, which detailed the men's rights movement.

Angelucci was fatally shot at his front door in Cedarpines Park, California, on July 11, 2020. A man posing as a deliveryman rang the doorbell and, when someone else from the house opened the door, the assailant claimed to have a package for Angelucci. After Angelucci came to the door to sign for it, he was shot, and the shooter sped away in a car.{{cite web |url=https://www.spectator.com.au/2020/07/who-killed-red-pill-lawyer-marc-angelucci-and-why/ |title=Who killed Red Pill lawyer Marc Angelucci – and why? |last=Barraclough|first=Corrine |date= July 20, 2020|website=The Spectator Australia|access-date=July 22, 2020 |quote=}} Angelucci was pronounced dead at the scene after paramedics arrived.

The FBI investigated the murder and its possible links to Roy Den Hollander, the suspect in the shooting of district judge Esther Salas' son and husband in New Jersey.{{cite web |url=https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/2020/07/21/killing-mens-rights-attorney-marc-angelucci-may-linked-esther-salas-case/5483731002/ |title=Killing of men's rights lawyer in California probed for link to shooting at federal judge's home |last=Atagi|first=Colin |date= July 20, 2020|website=USA Today|access-date=July 22, 2020 |quote=}}{{cite web |url=https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-07-21/fbi-deliveryman-suspect-new-jersey-judge-family-attack-california-lawyer-killing|title=FBI investigates whether suspect in judge family attack is behind California lawyer's slaying |last=Winton|first=Richard |date= July 21, 2020|work=Los Angeles Times|access-date=July 22, 2020 |quote=}} In this later attack, eight days after the murder of Angelucci, the murderer had also posed as a package deliveryman. Den Hollander had, according to Harry Crouch, the president of the NCFM, been kicked out of the organization 5–6 years prior because Den Hollander was a "nut job". According to Crouch, Den Hollander had also been removed from the coalition board for threatening Crouch. Den Hollander had a vendetta against Esther Salas because he felt that she had taken too long to rule on his discrimination lawsuit, leading Angelucci to win in a similar case in Texas before Den Hollander's case could be decided, and thus costing Den Hollander a victorious precedent. Den Hollander was later found to have taken his life in his car, where papers mentioning Angelucci were also found.{{cite web |url=https://www.thedailybeast.com/did-anti-feminist-lawyer-roy-den-hollander-also-kill-rival-attorney-marc-angelucci |title=Professional Jealousy?
