🚨BREAKING🚨

Solicitor General John Sauer just notified Congress “that @TheJusticeDept [will not] file an appeal” in GOA’s victory against the NFA, Silencer Shop v. ATF.

ATF cannot force GOA members to register suppressors or short barrels EVER AGAIN. This is PERMANENT! 🇺🇸

The United States wants in on Viramontes oral argument. "respectfully requests that the Court allot 20 minutes to petitioners, 10 minutes to the United States, and 30 minutes to respondents. Counsel for petitioners consents to this motion."

“The civilian AR-15 .223/5.56 is not ‘most useful’ in military service; it is not used in military service at all.” Ummmmmm.......

Two firearms and ballistics experts and several law professors have filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in two cases challenging bans on so-called “assault weapons.” Read the full article here -> 2ckieh.s.gy/xvL1Sf

The SG gets the result right, but concedes too much. The Constitution does not protect the AR-15 because it is less military than an M16. Miller points the other way, suitability for militia service supports protection. Cargill defines “machinegun” by statute… it doesn’t draw the Second Amendment’s boundary. Military utility is not a constitutional disqualifier.

Don't love this portion, but it isn't surprising. They still are expected to defend federal laws like the machinegun ban.

The MN Gun Owners Law Center, @mnguncaucus & @CSSA1926 (with heavy support from @FuddBusters) filed at SCOTUS today in Viramontes. The AR-15’s military origin is “not a constitutional embarrassment to be explained away.” It confirms the rifle belongs among the ordinary, bearable arms the Second Amendment protects. supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/2…

Today, the Minnesota Gun Owners Law Center and the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, joined by the Colorado State Shooting Association, filed a brief at the U.S. Supreme Court in the AR-15 ban cases. The Court hears argument in December. Here's what we told them, in plain English. 🧵

Minnesota lawmakers and municipalities have made their intentions explicitly clear: they will continue to reintroduce and pass these broad prohibitions. They remain “entirely undeterred by the constitutional defects of analogous bans.” This fight is coming.

The Second Amendment protects bearable arms effective for individual and collective defense. Its military lineage and civilian popularity place the AR-15 squarely within that tradition. The scope of an enumerated constitutional right cannot depend on which side of a state line an American happens to stand.
