The Fight For Canadian Gun Rights Continues
From The Truth About Guns:
However, the fight in Canada for gun rights is not over, and in a recent bold stand for procedural fairness, Canadian lawyer Ian Runkle is taking the fight for firearms owners’ rights to the Supreme Court of Canada, and grassroots support is surging. Runkle’s crowdfunding campaign on GiveSendGo, titled “Procedural Fairness for Firearm Owners,” has raised over CAD $33,662 toward a $40,000 goal to cover mounting legal costs. The case challenges the Canadian government’s controversial “nullification” of thousands of firearms licenses, a move critics argue is a thinly veiled attempt to sidestep legal obligations and advance a broader gun confiscation agenda that has gradually eroded Canadian firearms rights.

250 Years Since Lexington and Concord
From Bearing Arms:
“While the Declaration of Independence didn’t happen for another 15 months, the Revolutionary War actually began at Lexington Commons and the Concord North Bridge in the Spring of 1775, and it can honestly be said Americans have been fighting hard and shedding blood ever since to defend not just their natural right to be free from tyranny, but to protect and perpetuate what was and remains the uniquely American concept of freedom and liberty.
Germany Taking A Page Out Of Its Dark History
From The Truth About Guns:
Members and supporters of the right-leaning Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party are now facing mass gun license revocations. The reason? The German government has labeled the AfD a “right-wing extremist” group—a political designation that suddenly makes its members “unreliable” under the country’s gun laws. And just like that, firearms must be surrendered or destroyed.
SHUSH Act Introduced By Senator Mike Lee
From The Truth About Guns:
Introduced by U.S. Rep. Mike Lee, R-Utah, the “Silencers Help Us Save Hearing Act,” aka SHUSH Act, would change current law and treat silencers the same as other firearms accessories.
Senate cosponsors of the SHUSH Act include Republican Sens. Rick Scott of Florida, Pete Rickets of Nebraska, Roger Marshall of Kansas and John Curtis of Utah. The measure is being supported by the NRA, the National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR), GOA and the NSSF.
Court Affirms: Adults 18-20 Have Second Amendment Rights Too
From Bearing Arms:
For the second time, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals has declared that the state of Pennsylvania violated the Second Amendment rights of young adults by preventing them from lawfully bearing arms in self-defense.
On Monday, the appellate court issued its second opinion in Lara v. Commissioner Pennsylvania State Police, but the new opinion jibes with what the court had to say previously. After that initial ruling, the state appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. The justices remanded the case back to the Third Circuit to reconsider in light of Rahimi decision, but after conducting another analysis a three-judge panel on the Third Circuit held that the Rahimi case had no impact on their original decision, and ordered the district court to grant the injunction requested by the plaintiffs.
Texas Intros New Gun Bill After State Fair Debacle
From The Truth About Guns:
According to the text of HB 1715, any government entities, courts or contractors who use such properties “may not in any manner prohibit a license holder who is carrying a handgun under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, from entering or remaining on the property or a portion of the property, including through the provision of notice by a communication described by Section 30.06 or 30.07, Penal Code, unless license holders are otherwise prohibited from carrying handguns on the property or that portion of the property under Section 46.03, Penal Code, or other law.”
The Importance Of Armed and Organized Citizens
From Ammoland:
In fact, militias were used as late as the War with Spain in Cuba and the Philippines. Roosevelt’s Rough Riders were a volunteer militia that was formed in part by Theodore Roosevelt. A standing army had been around for many years; however, militias were still very important to the security of the United States.
Mass. Gun Law Ruled Unconstitutional
From Bearing Arms:
… a municipal court judge in Boston recently ruled that an applicant for a license to carry was wrongly denied based on “suitability” concerns. A Boston man named Jordan Lebedevitch sought an LTC (which is required to both own and carry a handgun and some long guns in Massachusetts) as part of his job working in security, but Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox and the Boston police rejected Lebedevitch’s application based on a 2023 police report in which his then-wife told officers that he had threatened to kill himself.
Hawaii and Michigan Create Stasi-like Tip Line
From Guns.com:
In Hawaii on Thursday, Gov. Josh Green (D) announced the state Department of Law Enforcement has established a confidential “Gun Tip Line for people to make anonymous reports of illegal gun ownership and gun crimes.” Tipsters seeking to “drop a dime” can do so either via a call or text to a phone number or via the DLE’s website. Further, there is a downloadable app where tipsters can go so far as to submit photographs and videos to back up their report.
Meanwhile, in Michigan, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) signed House Bill 5503 this week. The measure, an education funding bill, allocated $1 million in School Aid Funding to support a tip line for students to anonymously report “improperly stored firearms.”
The bill also mandates the state’s Department of Education will develop educational materials related to improperly stored firearms, including the use of the tip line to report them, and distribute the materials to school districts statewide.
Media Admits Washington Gun Law Not Working
From Bearing Arms:
Washington ranks ninth in the country for gun-law strength, according to Everytown for Gun Safety this year, making it one of the strictest states. The Legislature passed a law earlier this year which requires gun owners to report stolen firearms to law enforcement within 24 hours or face a fine of up to $1,000.
Yet despite Washington’s relatively strict gun laws, children are still obtaining guns.
Supreme Court To Hear Mexican Gov’t Lawsuit
From Guns.com:
First filed in 2021, the $10 billion suit – supported by no less than a dozen anti-gun states such as Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Illinois – sought to put some of the biggest names in the American gun industry including Barrett, Beretta, Century Arms, Colt, Glock, Ruger, and Smith & Wesson on the hook for the out-of-control narco cartel violence that has plagued Mexico since 2006.
A federal judge tossed the suit in October 2022, citing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act prevented the claim, but Mexico pushed the issue and appealed to the Massachusetts-based U.S. First Circuit Court, which kept the case alive and handed the issue to a lower court in Boston.
Supreme Court To Take More Gun Cases
From The Truth About Guns:
Among the first issues to be heard is a challenge to the Biden administration’s regulation of “ghost guns” — firearms that can be assembled from parts sold online and are often untraceable due to the absence of serial numbers. On October 8, the court will hear Garland v. VanDerStok, a case that focuses on whether partially assembled firearms sold in kits should be treated as guns under federal law.
Crackdown On Switches And Suppressors From China
From The Truth About Guns:
U.S. authorities announced on September 11 that they had seized 355 websites used to sell suppressors and conversion kits, known as “switches,” which are used to convert semi-automatic handguns into machine guns. The suppressors, reportedly being imported into the country from China, are highly regulated in the United States under the National Firearms Act, while the switches alone are considered illegal under most circumstances as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) considers them machine guns regardless of whether they are installed on an actual firearm or not.
