State's Gun Sales Are Frozen

This video from Washington Gun Law TV, featuring William Kirk, details how a ransomware cyber incident has caused a complete shutdown of Nevada's state background check system since August 24th. This outage effectively prevents all legal firearm purchases in the state, highlighting the vulnerability of state-specific systems and their impact on Second Amendment rights.

Gun Owners of America (GOA) announces a significant victory: the end of the VA policy that added veterans to the NICS prohibited persons list due to having a benefits fiduciary.

This video discusses a recent legislative change that impacts veterans' Second Amendment rights. Previously, veterans deemed to need assistance managing their finances via the VA's 'Rep Pay' program were automatically reported to the NICS system as prohibited persons, regardless of actual mental illness.

This change aims to restore Second Amendment rights for veterans who were previously disenfranchised due to financial management issues, not mental health diagnoses.

A cyberattack on Nevada's government systems has indefinitely suspended firearm background checks, preventing legal transfers for individuals without a CCW.

This video details a journalist's attempt to purchase a firearm from Walmart, highlighting the retailer's adherence to federal law and internal policies.

This video details how the ATF allegedly defied President Trump's executive order to terminate federal Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. The analysis highlights the ATF's alleged tactic of renaming departments and shifting personnel titles to circumvent the order, citing the case of a Chief Diversity Officer being reclassified as a 'Senior Executive' shortly after the order's effective date.
