From Bearing Arms:

In a 7-2 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld an ATF rule promulgated under the Biden administration that treats unfinished frames and receivers and DIY-gunmaking kids as fully functional firearms subject to federal law, overturning the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and holding that the regulation is not “facially inconsistent with the Gun Control Act.”

Study Shows Armed Citizens Better Than Police At Stopping Shooters

From The Federalist:

You’d never know it from watching television, but civilians stop more active shooters than police and do so with fewer mistakes, according to new research from the Crime Prevention Research Center, where I serve as president.

Trump Can Take Advantage Of Fifth Circuit Suppressor Ruling

From Ammoland:

In the case, the US Attorney made the claim that silencers were not arms covered by the text of the Second Amendment. This is what was used by the three-judge panel to claim silencers are not protected arms. The Trump administration could easily reverse the claim, and state silencers are clearly arms protected by the Second Amendment. The US Attorney’s office for the Eastern District of Louisiana has until the 17 of March to send its response to the Fifth Circuit.

ATF Sued By GOA To Lift Gag Order On Surveillance Program

From Ammoland:

On March 12, 2025, lawyers for GOA filed a motion to lift a protective order that has been in place since September 18, 2023. The order was put into place after GOA filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the ATF in 2021, “seeking records about a secret government surveillance program which unlawfully and unconstitutionally monitors and records the firearm purchases of American citizens who are perfectly eligible to purchase and possess firearms.” The ATF finally relented and handed over the documents, but instead of giving the redacted documents, the Bureau supplied the documents with without redactions. The ATF tried to “claw back” the documents by demanding that all documents be returned and copies be destroyed. GOA refused to give in to the ATF’s demands.

SBR Restrictions Upheld By Seventh Circuit

From The Truth About Guns:

This ruling is particularly relevant in light of the 2022 Supreme Court decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, which established a historical tradition test for evaluating firearm laws. Under Bruen, firearm regulations must be justified by a historical analogue—meaning the government must prove that similar restrictions existed at the time of the Founding. While the Court acknowledged that firearms deemed dangerous and unusual may be regulated, it also reaffirmed that weapons in common use for lawful purposes are constitutionally protected.

Senator Lee Leads Charge To Reverse Ammo Export Restrictions

From The Truth About Guns:

A group of 88 members of the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate are pushing to have the Biden Administration rule restricting firearm exports by law-abiding American manufacturers reversed, and they want it done now.

“As soon as is practically possible, we respectfully request that you rescind the Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security’s (BIS) recent interim final rule (IFR) ‘Revision of Firearms License Requirements,” the letter stated. “This misguided and destructive IFR is costing the American firearms industry nearly $500 million annually while doing nothing to advance U.S. interests or regional stability. Despite numerous attempts to rein in these actions through letters, legislation, hearings, markups and oversight, the Biden BIS ignored Congress and used the IFR to advance the Biden administration’s anti-firearms agenda.”

New Savior Ear Protection Are A Great Bang For The Buck

From The Truth About Guns:

How is the cost kept down? One way is by eliminating excess tech. A lot of ear protection I’ve reviewed lately has Bluetooth, and while I like it well enough, I don’t use it often. Judging by the comments section, lots of you don’t either.

There’s no need to pay for a feature you don’t use; let the premium-priced headsets offer that. That’s the Bluetooth hardware, the on/off/connect button, and the volume controls—eliminated.

The battery cap pops off easy enough, sliding upwards like so many other brands.

A little bonus feature the Savior Equipment Apollo offers that most don’t? Patch panels. A little strip about 1″x2″ on each side of the headband allows you to attach your own patches via velcro hook loop pile, or use the included American flag and name badge patches.

Utah Passes Bill To Teach Kids Gun Safety

HB 104 is a common sense measure that would require all public school students to learn about the safe storage and handling of firearms on three separate occasions between kindergarten and the end of sixth grade. Rep. Rex Shipp, the primary sponsor of the legislation, says the instruction would be age-appropriate, with younger kids essentially being taught the advice given by the NRA’s Eddie Eagle.

Democrat Group Sues Nassau County For Creating A “Militia”

From The Truth About Guns:

The lawsuit names Blakeman, Nassau County, and Sheriff Anthony LaRocco as defendants, alleging the creation of an illegal “militia” through the implementation last year of an emergency program designating civilian volunteers who have been trained and vetted through background checks as “special deputies.” If this sounds like a reserve program commonly used by Police and Sheriff’s Departments, well, that’s because it is.

The Navy, Air Force, Army, and Coast Guard have struggled to bring in new recruits, a problem which military specialists have, in part, attributed to the Biden administration’s advancement of racist DEI ideology and disastrous foreign policy agenda.
