I went looking for one article that covered the complete history of the Second Amendment—from English common law to Bruen—and couldn't find one. So I built it. Every major case, law, and turning point, in one place.
When I recently wrote an article about the demise of three classic hunting cartridges (the .257 Roberts, the .22 Hornet and the .300 Savage), one commenter said:
Short-barreled rifles and shotguns did not end up in the NFA by accident alone. Here’s how a sweeping 1934 gun control push trapped SBRs and SBSs in federal law.
The NFA landscape has shifted dramatically in 2026. The $200 tax stamp is gone for suppressors, SBRs, and SBSs after the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, but registration remains - and a wave of constitutional lawsuits now challenges whether that registration can survive without the tax. Here is what every FFL needs to know.
A new federal lawsuit, Roberts v. ATF, argues the National Firearms Act registration scheme is unconstitutional after the $200 tax stamp was reduced to zero.
