Here’s a look at some of the major gun-related storylines to watch out for in the new year.
Regularly smoking weed does not necessarily void a person’s Second Amendment rights, according to a new ruling by a federal judge in Texas.
The Supreme Court’s most recent Second Amendment decision could boost the government’s ability to disarm certain Americans in the long run. But it appears to have pushed two federal appeals court judges to the opposite conclusion in a new ruling on a non-violent felon’s gun rights.
Given a second bite at the apple, the Third Circuit has once again ruled that a Pennsylvania man can own firearms despite his felony-level conviction.
Adjudicating whether non-violent felons retain their gun rights has become one of the most hotly contested fields of Second Amendment law. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals added a new wrinkle to the dispute.
The government can permanently disarm somebody convicted of non-violent felonies if their broader criminal history contains violent conduct, a federal appeals court has ruled.
The Supreme Court rejected yet another high-profile Second Amendment case, raising questions about its appetite for expanding gun rights.
A rebuke of the Aloha State’s top court will not be the Supreme Court of the United States’s (SCOTUS) next Second Amendment contribution.
Gun-rights advocates have been building momentum for silencer deregulation headed into the next Trump Administration. The assassination of a high-profile health insurance executive could scuttle that effort.
For the second time in as many weeks, the President-elect has tapped a person with a history of supporting gun-control measures to fill a senior federal law enforcement position.
