@DanGreenFL I would really like to know more about your positions on the second amendment. As a vero beach resident I would prefer to support a local for Congress but there is very little to go on. An NRA endorsement is not necessarly a good thing IMHO.

[Brian Johnson @bpjsurf]

@RealFLGunLobby @JayCollinsFL That is all I need to know about @JayCollinsFL . As a gun right advocate I have heard enough of his thin blue line dribble. That's a hard no from me jay

🚨 BREAKING: The American Suppressor Association Foundation has filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the NFA.

With the federal excise tax now eliminated, the complaint argues the NFA’s registration regime can no longer be justified under Congress’s taxing power.

[Mark Walters @aarmark]

MORE great news from NEW MEXICO where SB 17 "assault weapons" ban, bill fails to move! No rest for the weary. They will never stop, until SCOTUS ends this unconstitutional ASSAULT on the right to bear arms. NICE WORK NM. FOR NOW! https://t.co/W1u6AxBuby

BREAKING: Virginia House Bill 207 — the bill imposing an egregious $500 tax on suppressors— has been unanimously tabled!

ASA President Knox Williams testified today, and now, we celebrate with you all. This is the power of the 2A community when we come together!

[American Suppressor Association @AmSuppressor]

Since President @realDonaldTrump’s One Big Beautiful Bill took effect on January 1, ATF tells ASA it has received more than 265,000 NFA form submissions.

This is what happens when unnecessary barriers are removed. Next stop: abolishing the NFA! 🇺🇸

Duncan and Viramontes distributed for Friday's conference.

[Charles Nichols' 15th year of 2A lawsuit @CRTC_Nichols]

The following petitions were denied. Several dockets are unchanged. The rest were relisted to this Friday's conference.

Philip J. Marquis, Petitioner v. Massachusetts - Petition Denied
QUESTION PRESENTED
1. Does Massachusetts’ firearms licensing regime, which grants a police colonel the power to deny any nonresident traveler a temporary firearms license based upon that officer’s judgment of “unsuitability,” violate nonresident travelers’ constitutional rights to keep and bear arms and to interstate travel?
https://t.co/QWDnc29SD7
Steven Perez, Petitioner v. United States - Petition Denied.
QUESTIONS PRESENTED
Petitioner was convicted of interstate transport and receipt of firearms, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(a)(3), and conspiracy to commit this offense, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371. In affirming the judgment of conviction, the Second Circuit held that an individual’s “acquisition” of firearms was merely an “ancillary” Second Amendment right. Because this was the case, it adopted and applied a “meaningful constraint” test also used by the Ninth Circuit: “[R]egulations on the means of acquiring, transporting, and storing firearms only implicate the text of the Second Amendment if they meaningfully constrain the right to possess and carry arms.”Accordingly, the questions presented are:Does the Second Amendment presumptively protect an individual’s right to acquire firearms?Is the “meaningful constraint” standard applied by the Second and Ninth Circuits to determine the constitutionality of regulations concerning“ancillary” Second Amendment rights correct?
Robert D. Schneider, Petitioner v. United States - Petition Denied.
The question presented is:Whether military courts of criminal appeals have authority under 10 U.S.C. §§ 860c and 866(d)(2) to cor-rect an unconstitutional firearms ban annotated after entry of judgment.
https://t.co/ygLjtLb2rj

Marcus Turner, Petitioner v. United States - Petition Denied.
QUESTIONS PRESENTED
I. Whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(g) permits conviction for the possession of any firearm that has ever crossed state lines at any time in the indefinite past, and, if so, if it is facially unconstitutional?
II. Whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) comports with the Second Amendment?

🚨UPDATE🚨

Today @ATFHQ confirmed to GOA that the agency has received just over 130,000 NFA eForm submissions this year.

In 2023, ATF processed fewer than 3,000 forms per day.

So far in 2026, ATF is receiving an average of nearly 15,000 NFA eForms per day—a historic increase!

Buy so much ammo that even your pro-gun friends accuse you of stockpiling it.

@2Aupdates And one source list Police Chief Art Acevedo the discredited chief who led the Houston police dept when the Gerald Goines incident took place . Goines is in prison for shooting two innocent civilians in their own home and trying to cover the ass of the PD: https://t.co/0Vd7nP2ePF

[NGOsLaunderMoney @RecognizesEvil]

@AGPamBondi @POTUS Please EXPLAIN ILLEGAL FIREARMS once. Just once. Cannons? Machine guns? You keep calling firearms illegal and that is concerning to me as a 2nd amendment firearm bearing citizen. Firearms are not illegal in themselves. Explain miss photo-op Bondi.

[Brian Johnson @bpjsurf]

@CRTC_Nichols @Stambo2A @dcodrea Charles I dont think that is very kind of you to say.

[Congressman Ben Cline @RepBenCline]

My Hearing Protection Act made it into the Senate’s One Big Beautiful Bill. It’s simple: law-abiding Americans shouldn’t be taxed or burdened with red tape to exercise their Second Amendment rights. This is a big win for freedom and the Constitution.
