New Survey Finds 60 Million AR-Style Rifles as Supreme Court Weighs AR-15 Bans - Ammoland.com
A new national firearms survey estimating that approximately 26 million Americans currently own AR-15-type or similarly styled semi-automatic rifles has already become evidence in the Supreme Court case that could decide whether state and local governments may continue banning America’s most popular rifle.
The survey is not sitting on a shelf waiting for academics to argue over it. Attorneys challenging the Cook County, Illinois, and Connecticut rifle bans cited the findings repeatedly in their newly filed brief to the Supreme Court. The brief was filed on behalf of individual gun owners, the Firearms Policy Coalition, the Second Amendment Foundation, and the Connecticut Citizens Defense League.
The consolidated cases, Viramontes v. Cook County and Grant v. Higgins, ask one direct question: “Whether the Second and Fourteenth Amendments guarantee the right to possess AR-15 platform and similar semiautomatic rifles.”

ATF Confirms Major Cyberattack After Qilin Claim—Were Gun-Owner Records Exposed? - Ammoland.com
On Wednesday, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) became the latest federal agency targeted by a major ransomware operation. The Department of Justice confirmed the attack after AmmoLand News flagged a claim by the Russian-speaking ransomware syndicate Qilin. That confirmation immediately raised a question that matters to lawful gun owners: whether the agency’s vast collections of firearms records were among the files taken.
According to sources inside the ATF, the hackers obtained investigative tools and other operational files, and gun-owner information was not compromised. Those sources described most of the files as innocuous. That account, if it holds, would be significant. ATF has digitized hundreds of millions of dealer records, and Second Amendment groups have long argued that those archives function as a backdoor registry.

Cuccinelli to Argue Militia Clause Protects AR-15s in Supreme Court Brief - Ammoland.com
“Former Virginia AG [and former Acting Deputy Secretary at the Department of Homeland Security] Ken Cuccinelli is drafting an amicus brief for a coalition of groups and key individuals in the Viramontes semi-automatic gun ban case that is coming in front of the United States Supreme Court,” Second Amendment advocate and NRA “reform director” Dennis Fusaro informed a close circle of fellow activists by email Saturday.
Fusaro, probably most known to AmmoLand readers through his involvement in attempting to persuade an unheeding Association to commit needed resources to a “get out the vote” effort in Virginia’s 2025 election, is soliciting funds to finance the legal work.
