Frequently Asked Questions

What happened with the New York gun transport law case?

The New York State Rifle and Pistol Association sued over a law restricting firearm transport. The city changed the law to address the lawsuit's specific complaints, leading the Supreme Court to dismiss the case as moot because the original issue was no longer active.

What is the status of California's ammunition background check ban?

A California law requiring background checks for ammo purchases was found unconstitutional by a federal judge. However, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals granted an emergency stay, meaning the ban remains in effect while the legal process continues.

How are D.C. residents currently buying firearms?

Due to a previous monopoly on firearm transfers and subsequent cessation of services, D.C. residents now must purchase firearms exclusively through the D.C. Police Department to comply with local regulations and avoid legal challenges.

What new optics has SIG Sauer released?

SIG Sauer has introduced the Sierra 6 BDX line, expanding their BDX 2.0 system. These scopes, available in 2-12x40mm and 3-18x44mm, integrate with rangefinders and a smartphone app to provide automatic illuminated holds for precise aiming.
