New Supreme Court Rulings Strengthen TJ Roberts’ Challenge to the NFA
A federal challenge involving longtime Texas Gun Rights ally TJ Roberts has gained new legal support from three recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions. Texas Gun Rights previously reported that Roberts v. ATF is one of several lawsuits challenging the federal government’s continued registration of suppressors and short-barreled firearms after Congress reduced the related National Firearms Act taxes to zero. […]
What Everytown Leaves Out of Its Texas Gun Statistics
Everytown for Gun Safety’s latest Texas fact sheet presents a familiar conclusion: Texas suffers from “gun violence” because state lawmakers have not adopted the organization’s preferred gun-control agenda. But Everytown’s own numbers do not prove that claim. The underlying mortality data largely comes from government sources and reflects real human suffering. Texas faces serious challenges […]
Seventh Circuit Upholds AR-15 Ban as Supreme Court Prepares To Take up the Fight
A divided federal appeals court just upheld Illinois’ ban on AR-15s, standard magazines, and other commonly owned firearms — giving the Supreme Court yet another reason to step in and settle the issue once and for all. The ruling came from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Barnett v. Raoul, where gun […]
Brady Sues To Force ATF To Hand Over Gun Dealer Target List
The gun confiscation lobby wants a list. Not a list of violent criminals. A list of lawful gun dealers. Brady has filed a federal lawsuit against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Department of Justice demanding records tied to ATF’s “Demand Letter 2” program — records that could identify firearm dealers […]
TXGR Helped Stop Biden’s Backdoor Gun Registration Rule
The Biden-era ATF rule targeting private firearm sales was officially vacated last month — and Texas Gun Rights helped make it happen. On June 12, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas vacated 2024 ATF “Engaged in the Business” rule — a Biden administration scheme designed to blur the line between ordinary Americans […]
DPS Case Against Texas Gun Owner Takes Major Hit After Texas Supreme Court Ruling
The Texas Department of Public Safety’s attempt to revoke Timothy Willis’ License to Carry just ran into a major new problem. For months, DPS has continued fighting to revoke Willis’ LTC based on a decades-old Georgia divorce order that contains no finding that Willis was violent, dangerous, or a credible threat to anyone. Texas Gun […]
Supreme Court Takes up Fight Over AR-15 Bans
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a major Second Amendment fight that could shake the gun confiscation lobby’s favorite ban scheme to its core. At issue: whether the government can ban AR-15-platform and similar semi-automatic rifles — some of the most commonly owned firearms in America — by slapping them with the politically […]
No Other Constitutional Right Is Policed Like the Second Amendment
The Bill of Rights protects speech, religion, the press, assembly, due process, privacy, and the right to keep and bear arms. Only one of those rights has an entire federal agency built around regulating, restricting, investigating, and prosecuting the tools necessary to exercise it. The Second Amendment. That agency is the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, […]
Supreme Court Strikes Down Blue-State “Vampire Rule” Gun Ban
The United States Supreme Court just handed gun owners a major victory in Wolford v. Lopez — striking down Hawaii’s so-called “Vampire Rule,” one of the most outrageous post-Bruen attacks on the right to carry. The scheme was simple. After the Supreme Court ruled in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen that Americans have a constitutional […]
Data Destroys the Gun Confiscation Lobby’s Carry Narrative
The gun confiscation lobby has spent decades warning that lawful carry would lead to chaos. They said ordinary citizens could not be trusted with firearms in public. They said more concealed carry would mean more crime. They said Constitutional Carry would put Texans in danger. The data says otherwise. Research from the Crime Prevention Research Center shows concealed carry […]
