Final Victory: Feds Drop Appeal in Pistol Brace Ban Case
In a stunning but long-anticipated move, the Biden-originated federal pistol brace ban is finally dead, buried by a joint legal dismissal that saw the federal government waving the white flag. With the Trump administration now at the helm, the DOJ formally dropped its appeal in the landmark case Mock v. Garland (now Mock v. Bondi), marking a […]
Congress Slashes ATF Budget & Stops DEA Merger — But They Must Go Further
House Republicans just delivered a major blow to the embattled Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF)—blocking its controversial merger with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and slashing its budget by more than 25%. But don’t mistake this for the final victory. The ATF still exists. And Texas Gun Rights (TXGR) is making it […]
Ninth Circuit Rules California Youth Gun Ad Ban Unconstitutional
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals delivered a major blow to California’s ongoing crusade against gun ownership last week, striking down Assembly Bill 2571 — a 2022 law that made it illegal for members of the firearm industry to advertise anything that could be seen as “attractive” to minors.

Fifth Circuit Upholds Gun-Free School Zones Act — But at What Cost to Liberty and Safety?
In a blow to Second Amendment advocates, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the constitutionality of the Gun-Free School Zones Act (GFSZA) in a ruling that raises as many questions as it answers.

DOJ Backs Down on Handgun Sales Ban for 18-20 Year Olds
The U.S. Department of Justice has quietly declined to appeal a recent federal court ruling that struck down the federal prohibition on handgun sales to adults under the age of 21.

Reform Is Not Enough. Merger Is Worse. It’s Time to ABOLISH the ATF.
The federal government has finally started reversing course on years of anti-gun abuse. Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, the Department of Justice is pulling back on many of the worst excesses of the ATF. Under his Second Amendment Executive Order, the agency is shrinking in power, backing off aggressive tactics, and eliminating long-despised programs. But […]
Texas AG Paxton Forces Austin to Back Down Over Anti-Gun Banking Contract
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton recently sent a loud and clear message to anti-gun bureaucrats in Austin and woke corporations across the state: “Discriminate against the firearms industry, and we will hold you accountable.” In a June 16 enforcement action, Paxton ordered the City of Austin to amend its contract with WEX Bank — a major fuel […]
Gun Owners Looking for a New Political Home After BBB Betrayal — Could Elon’s “America Party” Be It?
After the betrayal of gun owners in the Senate’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” (BBB), grassroots Second Amendment advocates are fed up — and many are now asking a question that would have been unthinkable just a year ago: Is it time for gun owners to leave the Republican Party? And with tech mogul Elon Musk […]
Colin Allred Enters 2026 Senate Race With Gun Control Agenda in Tow
In a move that should set off alarm bells for gun owners across Texas, Democrat U.S. Representative Colin Allred has officially launched his campaign for U.S. Senate in 2026 — bringing with him one of the most radical anti-gun records of any Texas politician in Washington. Allred, a former NFL player turned Beltway bureaucrat, has […]
Trump’s DOJ Delivers Some Wins While Congress Betrays Gun Owners
While the Trump Administration is beginning to reverse some of the most egregious Biden-era attacks on the Second Amendment through executive action, Republicans in Congress are doing little more than waving from the sidelines — and gun owners across America have had enough. With the ATF walking back some rules and a constitutionalist trajectory reshaping […]
