The Justice Department has moved to abandon its appeal defending the federal post office gun ban, leaving a permanent injunction protecting present and future SAF and FPC members at ordinary post offices.
An en banc Third Circuit ruling invalidates New Jersey’s ban on semiautomatic rifles and magazines holding more than ten rounds. The decision creates the federal appellate split the Supreme Court will confront in Viramontes and Grant.
School officials searched 18-year-old Jack Harrington’s truck after learning he lawfully owned a handgun. They found nothing. SAF says gun ownership cannot erase Fourth Amendment protections.
After JSD Supply and Eagle Shows entered Chapter 7 bankruptcy, New Jersey filed a new lawsuit seeking to hold founder Jordan Vinroe personally liable under the state’s gun-industry public-nuisance law.
Air Force veteran Craig Philips can legally own handguns, but Pennsylvania permanently bars him from carrying one because of a 1994 marijuana conviction. GOA says the lifetime ban cannot survive Bruen and Hemani.
Fundamental rights are not granted by Albany. They are recognized by the Constitution and protected from government infringement. That is precisely why Bruen mattered. It reminded the nation that constitutional rights do not depend upon whether politicians approve of them.
A Seventh Circuit panel led by Judge Frank Easterbrook signaled that lifetime gun bans for people once committed to a mental institution may require proof of present dangerousness.

The Justice Department has stepped into Virginia’s fight over its new “assault firearms” ban, filing a federal lawsuit as state court injunctions already block enforcement of the July 1 law.
