Federal District Court Rules Two Hawaii Gun Control Laws Violate the Second Amendment :: 08/17/2021
When you think ‘gun control,’ the states that immediately come to most people’s minds are California, New York, New Jersey and a few other usual suspects. But Hawaii takes a back seat to no one in its zeal to keep its citizens disarmed (see, for example, the state’s virtual ban on carrying guns outside the home). But yesterday, a US District Court judge struck down two laws that are clearly intended to limit or outright discourage individuals from buying and owning firearms.

California Deputies File Lawsuit Against Polymer80 :: 08/13/2021
We live in a litigious society. People will sue at the drop of a hat for some idiotic reason. However, in the gun world, lawsuits happen for two reasons.

The other are those that exist just to make it too costly for a gun-related company to continue to do business.

National Review Takes Aim At Challenge To Heller :: 08/09/2021
The Heller decision is more than a decade old at this point.
