    Looks like the anti's are coming out in force, this legislative term in Colorado. The so-called "progressives" are apparently calling this progress, such undermining of the RKBA for the average person. Strengthening constraints on access, requirements for storage, creation of "sensitive...

    The Supreme Court of the state of Hawaii recently upheld (in appeal) the state's "interest" in maintaining its harsh anti-firearms laws, which infamously disallow the carry of arms in public unless a permissions slip is issued by the state. The case: State of Hawaiʻi v. Wilson...

    Looks like California's ammo background check law (Proposition 63) has been cast down. Defense attorney has indicated the decision will be appealed to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. California background checks for ammunition have ‘no historical’ basis @ Washington Examiner, by Kaelan...

    A US District Court judge in Florida has ruled that the 1972 prohibition against the carrying of firearms into U.S. post offices is unconstitutional, saying "No historical practice dating back to the 1700s justifies the ban." Almost certain to be appealed. Perhaps we'll see this case at SCOTUS...

    New York state's "Concealed Carry Improvement Law" (CCIA) elements were challenged on the basis of denying the plaintiffs' 1A and 2A rights. Several elements have been struck down as unconstitutional. The CCIA took effect in September 2022, which NY implemented following the U.S. Supreme...

    The case is: Maryland Shall Issue v. Moore (21-2017) U.S. 4th District Court of Appeals just struck down Maryland’s Handgun Qualification License (“HQL”) requirement, declaring it unconstitutional.

    Washington state's Governor (Inslee) just signed into law WA House Bill 1240, which takes effect January 1st, 2024. It creates a California-style enumerated list of guns that are now effectively banned. Criminalizes future transfers, imports and manufacturing of many semi-auto arms...

    Lots of ugliness happening, across the states. Ignoring of the 2A's prohibitions on screwing with the RKBA, and threats to the ability of people to defend themselves. NV -- fiddling with "frame" and "receiver" definitions; criminalizes gun possession if under 20yrs of age; creates "gun free"...

    Challenges to New York’s End Run Around SCOTUS 2nd Amendment Ruling Argued At Second Circuit @ Legal Insurrection, 3/22/23. The Court hears five separate challenges to New York’s Concealed Carry Improvement Act in spirited, three-hour hearing. The challenges (five cases): Christian v...

    The U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled on the case U.S. v Rahimi, declaring as unconstitutional a ban on 2A-protected rights via a "civil restraining order" that has circumvented the entire "due process" protections afforded by the Constitution when accusing people of crimes or...

    Ban on guns with serial numbers removed is unconstitutional -U.S. judge @ Reuters, by Brendan Pierson, 10/13/22. Of course, this is in a U.S. district court and not (yet) appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. But, still. Interesting fallout from the Bruen v NYSRPA case that SCOTUS leveled...

    Looks like papa's got a new pair o' shoes. The BATFE finally has some "leadership" ... such as it is. Confirmed by the U.S. Senate 48-46. https://www.ammoland.com/2022/07/steve-dettelbach-confirmed-as-bidens-atf-director/ Of course, it's a heavily-laden bag, with this guy: A former U.S...

    Legislation is being written to charge a 1000% tax on AR magazines over 10rd capacity. Well, if they can't seem to cough up an outright ban on standard-capacity magazines, then perhaps they'll be capable of charging extortionate fees upon manufacturers and importers of such...

    Well, well. Can't say I'm surprised. But at least the destroyers are coming right out and saying it. Now the enemies are clearly there, declaring themselves enemies of the rule of law. Opinion: There's no way to fix the Second Amendment. Let's just get rid of it @ CNN, by Bill Press...

    It's a long way toward authorizing an Article V Convention of States, but this week two more state legislatures approved of calling such a convention. 16th state -- Wisconsin 17th state -- Nebraska Wisconsin Senate approves calling constitutional convention @ AP News, 1/25/22. Nebraska...

    The Nevada Supreme Court just ruled on an important RKBA-related case. They ruled that product makers and distributors are not responsible for the criminal actions of the mass-murderer who used their products in his crimes. Very possibly, this will get appealed to the relevant circuit court of...
