Qilin Hackers Leak ATF Investigation Files After Ransomware Breach - Ammoland.com
For a brief period on Monday, the Russian-linked ransomware group Qilin posted over 6GB of files it claimed were stolen from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The dump followed last week’s public listing of the ATF on Qilin’s leak site, first reported by AmmoLand News. Although the files have not been officially authenticated by the bureau, AmmoLand News sources inside the ATF have said the material is genuine.
Qilin is a Russia-based cybercrime syndicate that sells ransomware-as-a-service. Affiliates use its tools to break into target networks, steal data, and then post a countdown on Qilin’s dark-web blog. If the ransom is not paid by the deadline, the group publishes the stolen files. The ATF timer hit zero on Monday. Qilin then released more than six gigabytes of data for a short window before taking the files down. When Qilin pulls a dump, it often means a ransom was paid. There is no public evidence that the ATF paid.
Even after the files disappeared, enough of the package was recovered to identify the compromised environment. The breached system was the ATF’s Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) system.

Judge Uses ‘Infancy Doctrine’ to Uphold Hawaii’s Under-21 Gun Ban - Ammoland.com
A federal judge has upheld Hawaii’s sweeping gun ban for adults under 21 by treating Founding-era restrictions on minors entering contracts as evidence of a historical tradition of denying them access to firearms.
In a 43-page order, U.S. District Judge Jill A. Otake denied the plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment, granted Hawaii Attorney General Anne Lopez’s counter-motion, and directed the clerk to enter judgment for the state and close the case.
The lawsuit was originally filed as Pinales v. Lopez but is now captioned Roache v. Lopez following the dismissal of plaintiff Elijah Pinales. The remaining plaintiffs are Juda Roache, the Second Amendment Foundation, and Hawaii gun dealers Aloha Strategics LLC and JGB Arms LLC.
AmmoLand previously covered the lawsuit when SAF challenged Hawaii’s prohibition on otherwise qualified adults between 18 and 20 acquiring firearms or ammunition.

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.”
