Frequently Asked Questions

Did Congress tell the DOJ to stop enforcing the NFA?

Representative Andrew Clyde sent a letter to Pam Bondi urging the DOJ to cease NFA enforcement, arguing that Congress's intent when passing a spending bill with a zero transfer tax was to repeal NFA registration and transfer requirements. However, this letter lacks legal authority to compel the ATF to stop enforcement.

Can the ATF stop enforcing NFA cases like SBRs?

Yes, the ATF and DOJ have the legal authority to stop prosecuting short-barrel rifle (SBR) NFA cases and to begin issuing briefs to courts arguing that the NFA is unconstitutional, though political consequences would likely follow.

What is the controversy with foster parents and guns in South Carolina?

South Carolina's Department of Social Services has a policy requiring foster parents to keep firearms unloaded and locked up. Critics argue this policy renders the firearms useless for self-defense and infringes upon Second Amendment rights.

What is the .338 ARC cartridge?

The .338 ARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridge) from Hornady is designed for hard-hitting subsonic performance, delivering significantly more energy than .300 Blackout subsonic rounds. It features a 307-grain Sub-X bullet in its subsonic line and a 175-grain hollow point in Hornady Black.
