SAF Files Amicus Brief Defending Gun Owners’ Privacy - Ammoland.com
BELLEVUE, Wash. — The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has filed an amicus brief with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania in support of defendant SIG SAUER’s motion for reconsideration in Hall v. Sig Sauer, Inc., a product liability case in which plaintiffs seek to force disclosure of gun owners’ identities without their consent.
SIG SAUER was ordered to divulge the identities of some of its customers to the Plaintiffs in the case as part of the discovery process and seeks reconsideration of that order. SAF is joined in the brief by the National Rifle Association.
“The Second Amendment has always protected not just the right to keep and bear arms, but the privacy necessary to exercise that right without fear of government-compelled exposure or social ostracism,” said SAF Director of Legal Research and Education Kostas Moros. “Our history and tradition confirm that Americans reasonably expect their status as gun owners to remain private. Forcing a manufacturer to divulge customer identities in civil litigation – without consent or adequate safeguards – violates that long-standing expectation and infringes the right itself. We urge the Court to reconsider and protect gun owners’ privacy.”
This dispute is important to SAF as it threatens the privacy of law-abiding Americans who contact manufacturers for assistance with their firearms, possibly chilling them from seeking help with potential safety issues and exposing them to unwanted scrutiny. Moreover, it presented an excellent opportunity to assist in the development of privacy in gun ownership as an aspect of the Second Amendment right.

VA Restores Veterans’ Second Amendment Rights After Decades of Unconstitutional Disarmament - Ammoland.com
For more than 30 years, American veterans who bravely defended our freedoms were stripped of their own Second Amendment rights — not through any crime, not by a judge’s order, and not because they were a danger to anyone — but simply because they needed help managing their VA benefits under a fiduciary program. That changed on February 17, 2026, when the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) formally ended this unconstitutional practice.
A Unilateral Bureaucratic Gun Ban Ends
Under decades-old policy, veterans who lacked the ability to manage their financial affairs — often due to service-related disabilities — were automatically reported by the VA to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) as “prohibited persons.” This reporting effectively barred them from legally owning or purchasing firearms.
In its official announcement, the VA acknowledged that this practice violated both the Gun Control Act and the constitutional rights of veterans, because the department was making life-altering disability determinations without any judicial or quasi-judicial due process — a fundamental right in American law.
Effective immediately, the VA will no longer report veterans to NICS solely because they need fiduciary help, and it is working with the FBI to remove veterans’ names that were improperly submitted in the past.

I still miss mine - The Most Overengineered Car Ever Built - Wheels History
I used to have a Red 1986 Saab 900 3 door aka a 2 door hatch back. With the 2.0 liter, "H" engine which was known as the B201 Engine with the Bosch K Jetronic mechanical fuel injection. With it's 5 speed manual transmission, I could get over 40 mpg on the highway, if I drove conservatively. If I drove it like I stole it, however, my mileage would drop to about 13-16 mpg. My Saab is the one car I wish I still had. I don't even miss my 1974 Mustang or my 1976 Olds Cutlass. But I do miss my '86 Saab 900.

ATF’s Hidden Gun Registry: How a ‘Tracing System’ Became a Billion-Record Database - Ammoland.com
Washington, D.C. — A new report from Reason confirms what AmmoLand has been warning American gun owners about for years: the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has quietly built what amounts to a backdoor gun registry — in violation of federal law.
On February 3, Rep. Michael Cloud (R-TX) and 26 colleagues demanded answers from ATF about the scale and legality of this database after being stonewalled for more than a year. The concern? A digital trove of hundreds of millions — possibly over a billion — firearm transaction records that the agency has digitized from former dealer files.
The Law Forbid a National Registry — and the ATF Built One Anyway
Federal law has banned the creation of a national firearms registry since 1986 under the Firearms Owners’ Protection Act. It states clearly that “no…system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or dispositions may be established.”
Yet the ATF, using a Biden-era rule that requires FFLs to retain transaction records indefinitely, has been digitizing Form 4473s — the very forms that list your name, address, and what firearm you bought — and storing them at its National Tracing Center in Martinsburg, WV. In 2021 alone, ATF admitted processing more than 54 million out-of-business dealer records.

EU Chat Control Got Worse - CYBER WAFFLE
Th reason I keep posting stories from the UK and the EU, is because, that is where they "START" with their violations of our rights. If it shows promise over there, then they try to export it to the US. These posts are a heads up, so you can keep an eye out for them trying to bring it here.
