A new study analyzed the effectiveness of mandatory gun storage laws versus educational initiatives in reducing firearm-related incidents among children and teens. The research concluded that laws requiring safe storage showed no statistically significant impact on accidental shootings or suicides, while programs focused on education and voluntary safe storage practices demonstrated measurable reductions in these incidents. The Gist: United States (national scope, with data drawn from multiple states implementing varying storage laws and education programs) Impact: Undermines arguments for expanding child access prevention (CAP) laws and mandatory storage legislation; supports shifting policy focus toward voluntary education and cultural changes in firearm safety training Bottom Line: Education, not coercive storage laws, is the more effective approach to reducing unintentional firearm deaths and injuries involving minors. Breaking News on Interstate Handgun Sales and Sales to 18 to 20 (Savage) Fifth Circuit Rules Federal Interstate Handgun Sales Ban Unconstitutional No description available The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held that the federal ban on interstate handgun sales violates the Second Amendment. The ruling stems from a challenge by a federally licensed firearms dealer prevented from selling handguns to out-of-state customers. The court applied historical tradition analysis and found no sufficient founding-era analogue for the restriction. The Gist: Affects all states within the Fifth Circuit (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi) and sets persuasive precedent for federal interstate handgun transfer restrictions nationwide; applies to FFL dealers and purchasers seeking out-of-state handgun acquisitions. Impact: Invalidates 18 U.S.C. § 922(a)(5) and related provisions as applied to handgun sales between FFLs and out-of-state buyers; reinforces Bruen framework by requiring historical analogues for modern firearm regulations, limiting federal authority over interstate commerce in handguns. Bottom Line: Federal interstate handgun sales ban ruled unconstitutional under the Second Amendment. AmmoLand Shooting Sports News (Savage) Trump DOJ Declines to Appeal NFA Ruling in Garland v. Cargill Follow-On Case Trump ordered DOJ not to appeal the Silencer Shop ruling blocking enforcement of key NFA provisions for covered members and customers. The Department of Justice under the Trump administration has decided not to appeal a federal court ruling that struck down key provisions of the National Firearms Act (NFA) as applied to certain firearm accessories and short-barreled rifles. The decision follows White House intervention after an initial plan to appeal. The ruling originated from a lower court challenge building on the Supreme Court’s Garland v. Cargill decision regarding bump stocks. The Gist: Affects nationwide enforcement of NFA restrictions on short-barreled rifles (SBRs) and related accessories; applies to all U.S. jurisdictions and firearm owners previously subject to registration and taxation requirements invalidated by the ruling. Impact: Eliminates further appellate review, solidifying the lower court’s finding that portions of the NFA violate the Second Amendment or are unconstitutionally vague; represents a significant policy shift by the Trump DOJ toward reduced NFA enforcement and aligns with pro-2A deregulation efforts. Bottom Line: NFA restrictions on SBRs and certain accessories are effectively unenforceable pending further legislative action; marks a major victory for Second Amendment advocates without requiring Congressional repeal. Breitbart (Savage) Gov. Kathy Hochul Rejects DOJ, Will Continue to Ban Handgun Sales to 18-20 Year-Olds The DOJ found the ban on handgun sales to 18-20 year-olds "unconstitutional" but Gov. Hochul made clear the ban will remain in force in NY. New York Governor Kathy Hochul stated that the state will maintain its prohibition on handgun sales to individuals aged 18-20 despite the U.S. Department of Justice’s position. The policy conflicts with recent federal guidance and court rulings recognizing 18-to-20-year-olds’ Second Amendment rights to purchase handguns....
