CPRC Study Examines Transgender Representation in Active Shooting Attacks - Ammoland.com
The Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), created by John Lott, has published research on the ratio of active shooting attacks by people who are mentally confused about their gender identity, commonly referred to as “transgender.” In 2024, according to the CRPC research, transgender individuals were 12 times as likely to commit an active shooting attack compared to the population as a whole.
In 2024, Politifact published an article claiming that mass shootings by transgender people is a small number of all mass shootings. As the CPRC research points out, this does not tell us if people who identify as transgender are more or less likely to engage in mass murder or attempted mass murder than the population at large. As is common in discussions of violence and statistics, the way you define the variables makes all the difference in how the numbers shake out. Considering broad definitions of “terrorism” or “gun violence” will give a significantly different result than considering more precise definitions of active shooting attacks or mass killing. Another important variable is what time frame is considered.

Supreme Court Shake-Up? Alito Exit Could Hand Trump Critical 2A Appointment - Ammoland.com
In the corridors of Washington, D.C., whispers of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s potential retirement have grown into a roar. At 75 years old and marking 20 years on the bench, Alito’s upcoming book release on October 6, 2026, just one day after the start of the Court’s new term, has fueled intense speculation that he may step down to ensure his conservative legacy endures under President Donald Trump’s second term. With Republicans holding the Senate majority ahead of the 2026 midterms, the timing appears strategic: a retirement now could allow Trump to appoint a like-minded successor before any potential shift in Senate control.
Alito’s Role in Bruen and the Modern Second Amendment Framework
Alito, appointed by President George W. Bush in 2006, has been a cornerstone of the Court’s conservative wing, particularly on issues like gun rights. His input in the landmark 2022 decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen revolutionized Second Amendment jurisprudence, striking down New York’s restrictive concealed-carry laws and establishing a history-and-tradition test for evaluating gun regulations. This ruling has led to a wave of lower-court decisions invalidating various gun control measures, from assault weapon bans to age restrictions on firearm purchases. Alito’s retirement would create an opportunity to solidify or potentially alter this pro-gun trajectory, depending on his replacement.

Honolulu Police Department Responds to Request for Approved Firearm Instructors - Ammoland.com
“In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, the Hawaiʻi Legislature made significant changes to our state’s firearms laws,” Hawaii Firearms Coalition noted Feb. 13. “Among those changes was a requirement that firearm instructors in Hawaiʻi be approved by the county police departments.”
“Shortly after the law took effect, the Honolulu Police Department implemented its instructor approval process,” the post continued. “For a brief period, a list of approved instructors appeared on HPD’s website. Then, without explanation, it disappeared.”
This created a dilemma for Hawaii’s gun owners, the post explained, because it “left residents seeking lawful training with no independent way to confirm who was approved.”
HPD declined to provide a list, citing privacy concerns, the post elaborated. A formal request filed under the state’s Uniform Information Practices Act resulted in a list being shared, but “it was oddly redacted,” HFC claimed.
“Now, nearly two years later, we have requested the list again,” HFC announced, filing “another request under the Uniform Information Practices Act to obtain the current list of approved instructors.”
