Todd Blanche has said the Trump DOJ is ending the weaponization of federal power against lawful gun owners. Now, with his nomination for Attorney General, Second Amendment advocates want proof.
The Justice Department says records tied to firearm rights restoration decisions must remain hidden for privacy reasons. But if ordinary citizens are expected to petition for relief, they deserve to know what standards DOJ is actually using.
A gun-control leader wants Florida to expand red flag petitions, but the state’s own firearm-suicide trends raise hard questions about whether ERPOs deliver what supporters promise.
The Supreme Court’s Hemani decision was not just about marijuana users and gun rights. Its due-process language may become a major weapon against red flag laws that seize firearms first and offer hearings later.
The Supreme Court’s Hemani decision reinforces a simple constitutional reality: the government cannot restrict the right to keep and bear arms unless it can prove the restriction fits America’s historical tradition.
The Supreme Court’s 9-0 Hemani judgment rejected automatic disarmament based solely on regular marijuana use. Its rigorous historical analysis could also spell trouble for Hawaii’s “Vampire Rule” in Wolford v. Lopez.
Virginia is defending its new gun restrictions by portraying AR-15s as “weapons of war.” From colonial muskets to surplus M1 Carbines, American history tells a very different story.
In a unanimous 9-0 ruling, the Supreme Court rejected the federal government’s attempt to disarm a regular marijuana user under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3), strengthening Bruen and requiring individualized evidence before Second Amendment rights are stripped away.
A Spotsylvania Circuit Court judge denied a preliminary injunction in Curtis v. Katz, allowing Virginia’s semiautomatic firearm and magazine ban to proceed while gun owners continue their constitutional challenge.
