For the second year in a row, gun control advocates have lost a unanimous decision at the U.S. Supreme Court.
Last week, after they were re-listed for conference 15 times, the U.S. Supreme Court finally denied petitions for review on two major Second Amendment cases, with just one vote shy of the four needed for review.
It is almost exactly three years ago that the United States Supreme Court ruled in the landmark case of NYSRPA v. Bruen, invalidating the “may issue” carry licensing regime in New York State and in the five other jurisdictions that continued to use subjective or extraordinary standards (“proper cause”) to prevent law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their Second Amendment right to carry handguns publicly for self-defense.
It is no secret in the pro-2A community that many corporations have taken anti-gun positions or implemented policies detrimental to our right to arms.
Today, the Supreme Court of the United States issued its decision in the closely watched case, Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos, unanimously holding that the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) bars Mexico’s attempt to hold several of America’s largest firearms manufacturers liable for violence committed by Mexican drug cartels.
Today, the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) filed a Petition for Certiorari requesting that the U.S. Supreme Court hear a challenge to the National Firearms Act of 1934’s restrictions on short-barreled rifles in a case named Rush v. United States.
Today, the National Rifle Association filed an amicus brief in Beckwith v. Frey, a case challenging Maine’s 72-hour waiting period on firearm purchases.
Yesterday, the National Rifle Association, Firearms Policy Coalition, and FPC Action Foundation filed an amicus brief arguing that the federal prohibition on machinegun possession is unconstitutional as applied to the defendant in the Fifth Circuit case, United States v. Brown.

The gun owning community is often saddled with a larger responsibility than most in knowing the many laws that govern gun ownership throughout the states.
For decades, gun control advocates and their allies in “public health” have pushed a misleading factoid about children and firearms.
Fifteen years ago, the City of Chicago adopted a “gun offender registry” ordinance that requires convicted gun offenders to register with the police and have police monitor anyone listed in the registry.
Gun prohibition activist David Hogg’s time in leadership with the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has come to an end.
Today, the National Rifle Association, along with the Second Amendment Foundation, Firearms Policy Coalition, and FPC Action Foundation, filed an amicus brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to hear a challenge to the federal lifetime prohibition on firearms possession by nonviolent felons.

In a single sentence, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit added to the high-profile and consequential national conversation on firearm suppressors.
Last week, NRA-ILA explained how a recent public service announcement campaign from the federally-funded Ad Council, and the gun control lobby more broadly, manipulates statistics to create misleading talking points about “children” and firearms.
On June 18, the anti-gun propaganda mill The Trace celebrated its tenth birthday with a self-congratulatory article entitled “How The Trace Came to Be and Other Stories From Our Early Days.”
There’s been a lot of noise of late about auto sears or so-called “Glock switches” – devices to convert a semiautomatic firearm into an automatic weapon.
The Garden State is not where most seek positive developments regarding our right to arms, so we were pleasantly surprised when Englishtown, N.J., recently made a move to support the Second Amendment.
Today, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held that California’s law prohibiting people from buying more than one firearm in a 30-day period violates the Second Amendment.
Last Friday, the U.S. Department of Justice filed an amicus brief in the Seventh Circuit supporting an NRA-backed challenge to Illinois’s prohibition on so-called “assault weapons” and “large-capacity magazines.”
The Texas NRA-ILA Grassroots Team participated in the “2025 Turning Point USA Young Women’s Leadership Summit”, held in Garland, TX.

The U.S. Senate has cleared a number of procedural hurdles and is preparing to vote on the One Big Beautiful Bill. This vote will likely come within the next day. The One Big Beautiful Bill includes a provision that would, among other things, eliminate the unconstitutional $200 tax imposed on suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and “any other weapons” as defined by the National Firearms Act (NFA).
Just over an hour away from the state capitol in Lansing, Michigan – even as lawmakers worked feverishly to pass various gun control measures, including expansion of “gun free” zones – a chilling reminder unfolded of the critical need to fight for the rights of law-abiding citizens to arm themselves for self-protection anywhere they have a legal right to be.
We’ve reported before about Argentina President Javier Milei expanding access to firearms for law-abiding Argentinians.
Canada’s Liberal government is pressing on with its harebrained gun ban and confiscation program for “assault style weapons,” but, true to form and precedents, it has been far from smooth sailing.
On behalf of millions of NRA members and gun owners, we stand united in calling on Congress to uphold Americans' Second Amendment rights and zero out the NFA's excise tax on suppressors and short-barreled firearms.

Earlier today, on the 4th of July, a day on which our Founding Fathers declared their intent for a free nation, the President of the United State of America, Donald Trump, signed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” into law, delivering to law abiding gun owners freedom from an unconstitutional and punitive tax on suppressors, short-barreled firearms, and “any other weapons” as defined by the National Firearms Act (NFA).
Following the passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill”—which eliminates the National Firearms Act of 1934’s (NFA) excise tax on suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and AOWs—the National Rifle Association issued a joint statement along with the American Suppressor Association, Firearms Policy Coalition, and Second Amendment Foundation announcing plans to file “a new strategic lawsuit to challenge the constitutionality of the NFA in Federal Court.”
The recently concluded negotiations on the United Nations’ Global Framework on Through-Life Conventional Ammunition Management (Framework) should be of grave concern to anyone who values the constitutional protections afforded by the Second Amendment.
It has been a while since we’ve looked at weapon news from across the pond, but with Americans everywhere having just celebrated the Glorious Fourth and our independence from British monarchy, the timing seems particular appropriate.
In June, the American firearms industry lodged a resounding victory against attempts by gun control advocates to put it out of business with frivolous lawsuits when the U.S. Supreme Court issued its 9-0 ruling in Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos.
Maine's public education system has recently faced national scrutiny, and it appears things are only getting worse, not better, in the Pine Tree State.
As we celebrate this remarkable milestone for this remarkable man, we honor the life and legacy of Norris N. Jernigan, a World War II veteran who served in the intelligence office with the 393rd Bomb Squadron of the 509th Composite Group.

Joseph Greenlee joined the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action a little over a year ago. He’s the Director of Litigation Counsel and spoke about his time with them.
By now, Americans should be well aware that California Governor Gavin Newsom struggles with the truth. Recently, the known fabulist took his act on the road to sit with Tennessee-based podcaster Shawn Ryan for an interview.
Even as the majority of states embrace constitutional carry (29 so far), California continues to make it more difficult for its responsible residents to carry a firearm for lawful self-defense.
On July 15, 2025, the House Natural Resources Committee advanced two NRA-ILA supported bills — the Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act (H.R. 556) sponsored by Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA-1), and the Grizzly Bear State Management Act (H.R. 281) sponsored by Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY-AL). These important pieces of legislation for hunters and shooters now await a vote on the House floor.

Readers of our alerts know, very well, that U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) does not believe in the Second Amendment, and would probably like to see virtually every law-abiding American disarmed. And he has held such views for a long time.
It’s well known that firearm owners, along with sportsmen and women, invest a lot of time, effort, and especially money into being good stewards of their Second Amendment rights and their love of the outdoors.
Politics, they say, make for some strange bedfellows. Nicole Aloise, the Democrat running for the District Attorney (DA) job in New York’s Nassau County, has reportedly invited convicted criminals to apply for a full-time position on her campaign staff.
For decades, NRA-ILA has pointed out that gun control advocates are disingenuous when it comes to public safety.
In a video interview with Tennessee-based podcaster Shawn Ryan published earlier this month, anti-gun California Governor Gavin Newsom appeared to accept a gift of a Sig P365 XMACRO semi-automatic handgun from the former U.S. Navy SEAL.
On July 22, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a proposed rule in response to the Trump administration’s intention to revive a statutory process for the restoration of Second Amendment rights lost under federal law as result of convictions or other circumstances
On July 18, a coalition of six leading gun rights organizations comprised of the National Rifle Association (NRA), American Suppressor Association (ASA), Safari Club International (SCI), Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs (ANJRPC), and the New Jersey Firearms Owners Syndicate (NJFOS), with the support of Silencer Shop, announced the filing of a joint federal lawsuit in the District of New Jersey challenging the state of New Jersey’s unconstitutional ban on firearm suppressors.
Today, the National Rifle Association filed an amicus brief in Calce v. New York City, arguing that New York City’s prohibition on the possession of stun guns and tasers is unconstitutional.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that California’s law requiring a background check for each ammunition purchase violates the Second Amendment in Rhode v. Bonta—a case backed by the National Rifle Association and California Rifle and Pistol Association.
We’re excited to report that, for the first time ever, NRA-ILA hosted the first ever SAME-DAY, TWO-PART, "NRA 2A Day” event in the “First State”—and it was a tremendous success!

Today, the National Rifle Association (NRA), American Suppressor Association (ASA), Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), Prime Protection STL Tactical Boutique, and two members of the organizations filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA). The case, Brown v. ATF, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri.
Recent headlines continue to serve as important reminders that when seconds count, a lawfully armed citizen is often there in the interval before law enforcement can be.
The most fundamental requirement for a legitimate legal regime is that a person must be able to know what the law requires before being held accountable to it.
It goes without saying that banning guns is not the only way to effectively disarm civilians.
Firearm data breaches are becoming the norm in Australasia.
In 2000, as part of a settlement of dozens of product liability/negligence lawsuits brought by local governments and the threat of litigation by the federal government, the then-British-owned gunmaker Smith & Wesson signed a deal brokered by the Clinton White House.
On July 23, Representatives Darrell Issa (R-CA-48) and Elise Stefanik (R-NY-21) introduced the Modern Firearm Safety Act (H.R. 4676). This legislation would reject the effort by anti-gun radicals to utilize unconstitutional “handgun rosters.” These rosters prevent law-abiding Americans from purchasing newly-release handgun models and attempt to dictate to firearms manufacturers what types of features are acceptable.

On August 11, President Donald Trump declared a crime emergency in the nation’s capital. Fed up with a violent crime problem that has long been tolerated, and perhaps obfuscated, by D.C. officials, President Trump chose to exert his considerable federal authority to try to address the situation.
As National Shooting Sports month continues through August, the ongoing celebration of America’s outdoor sporting heritage is expected to resonate with the firearms community.
Another week, another set of stories chronicling the sad demise of individual rights in the United Kingdom, where gardeners with pruning tools are treated like dangerous criminals and insulting crooks who plunder your store attracts more police attention than the thieves themselves.
