Brown v. ATF: SAF, ASA, NRA, and FPC argue the NFA registration requirement is no longer constitutional after Congress eliminated the $200 tax. Case 25-cv-01162-SRC.
The viral “Pam Bondi gun registry” claim misread one week-long court order in Reese v. ATF. Here is what the judgment actually did – and the Second Amendment win that still stands.
The right to sue for redress of grievances is baked into the Constitution … but it doesn’t say who has to pay the lawyers. Once again, an activist judge in a deep-blue state is permitting yet another baseless and actually illegal lawsuit. This time, it’s Judge L. Ortiz of Lake County, Illinois, and the illegal…
When Massad Ayoob talks gun rights, people listen. He’ll tell you how to do the same. He’s the author of In the Gravest Extreme, which is one of the Ur-texts of gun rights and self-defense. He’s been teaching self-defense techniques since 1974. For those not old enough to recall the 1970s and 1980s, it wasn’t…

VanDerStok (2025) and upheld ATF’s authority to write the rule, but the constitutional claims survived on remand — and on August 17, 2026 Judge O’Connor held the Frame or Receiver Rule unconstitutional as applied to Defense Distributed and…
A federal judge recently blocked the ATF’s unconstitutional pistol arm-brace ban … but not for everyone. Are you covered? As we’ve reported extensively here, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Anything Fun (BATFEIEIO) has been on a mission to ban pistol arm braces, which are nothing more than adaptive equipment that allows people with…
Scratch a Washington State Attorney General, find a Mafia capo. Anti-gunners know that their biggest enemy isn’t made of carbon steel and aluminum; their biggest enemy is the truth. When average Americans are given the facts about guns, they overwhelmingly vote for firearms freedom. That’s why it’s so important to anti-gunners to suppress and silence…
New York Governor Kathy Hochul thinks guns have no place in houses of worship. Jack Wilson would like a word. As we’ve documented here before, New York Governor Kathy Hochul doesn’t have much respect for the Bill of Rights. When crime hits, she’s right there to blame the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, or a…
Once again, Creepy Uncle Joe is working to be Gun Salesman of the Year! In the aftermath of this week’s murderous rampage by a deranged killer inside an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, gun sales have reportedly “rocketed” and the Second Amendment Foundation said today that President Joe Biden and his Democrat colleagues in Congress…
