Frequently Asked Questions

What was the outcome of the Ninth Circuit's ruling on California's standard capacity magazine ban?

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a ruling that found California's ban on standard capacity magazines unconstitutional. This decision failed strict scrutiny and could have broad implications for magazine bans nationwide, potentially nullifying them once the injunction is lifted.

Why is Michael Bloomberg's organization reportedly buying hundreds of Jimenez Arms pistols?

The Trace, described as Bloomberg's mouthpiece, is reportedly attempting to purchase hundreds of Jimenez Arms pistols and frames. Jimenez Arms is a successor to companies like Jennings and Bryco, which were known for producing low-quality firearms, raising questions about the purpose of this acquisition.

What is the proposed plan to save the NRA amidst its legal troubles?

An Alabama attorney, George Douglas, is urging NRA members to intervene in the lawsuit against the organization. He advocates for members to have their own legal representation to protect their interests, arguing that senior leadership has a conflict of interest and that members, not the state, are the wronged parties.

What are the recent legal developments regarding gun rights in Virginia and New Mexico?

Virginia's 'one handgun a month' law has led to over 1100 denials in its first month, with the law being retroactive. In New Mexico, city councilors are pushing to remove the state's constitutional preemption clause, which prevents local governments from enacting their own gun control measures.
