Lopez before the U.S. Supreme Court, highlighting how states like New Jersey have enacted 'Bruin response bills' to circumvent the Supreme Court's Bruin decision.

The Trump DOJ has intervened in a lawsuit challenging Hawaii's restrictive firearm carry laws, specifically targeting a loophole involving signage requirements.

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a significant Second Amendment case challenging Hawaii's law restricting concealed carry on private property without owner consent.

A federal judge has exposed California's open carry permit system as a "paper-thin illusion" and "entrapment disguised as policy." The Ninth Circuit is hearing a case challenging the state's laws, which functionally deny permits to 95% of the population and have resulted in zero open carry permits issued statewide. The court is scrutinizing whether these laws align with the Second Amendment and the Bruin decision, potentially forcing California to issue permits or overhaul its system.

This video discusses the implications of the Supreme Court's Bruen decision on gun rights, particularly concerning non-violent felons.

This video discusses a significant court ruling from Pennsylvania where the Third Circuit denied a request to rehear a case challenging the state's ban on 18-to-20-year-olds carrying firearms.

The discussion also references a Fifth Circuit ruling that found federal laws prohibiting FFL sales of handguns to 18-to-20-year-olds unconstitutional, citing historical tradition and the plain text of the Second Amendment.
