The ATF has significantly increased gun and ammunition confiscations from US citizens, with 36,000 firearms and 2.3 million rounds seized in just over a year.

This trend suggests a militarization of the executive branch and a breakdown in ATF operations.

This video from Guns & Gadgets discusses a case where the ATF denied an NFA Form 1 application because the applicant stated his reason for manufacture was to exercise his 'God-given right' and Second Amendment rights.

The public comment period is open until June 30th, 2026.

Testing a Remington 158gr SJHP .357 Magnum load from a 16-inch Rossi M92 reveals impressive performance, achieving 1709.6 fps.

This challenges typical handgun round terminal ballistics expectations.
