Supreme Court Says Courts Can’t Smuggle Gun Control Into Bruen Step One - Ammoland.com
The Supreme Court of the United States issued a landmark ruling in Wolford v. Lopez that struck down Hawaii’s so-called “vampire law,” but the decision’s impact extends far beyond that single victory. The opinion provides crucial clarification that lower courts cannot employ certain procedural strategies to evade rulings against restrictive gun control measures.
On the surface, Wolford addresses whether private property owners must post “gun welcome” signs before individuals may lawfully carry firearms on their premises. However, like many other landmark Second Amendment decisions, Wolford transcends this narrow issue. It delivers important guidance on how courts must properly apply the constitutional framework established in Bruen and Heller.
Bruen Step One Just Got Harder to Beat
The most significant clarification is that courts may no longer shoehorn gun-control reasoning into Step One of the Bruen analysis.
Step One focuses strictly on the plain text of the Second Amendment. If the regulated individual is part of “the people” and the arm in question is “bearable,” the conduct is presumptively protected. Liberal courts have repeatedly attempted to dismiss cases at this early stage by asserting that certain popular arms, such as AR-15-style rifles, fall outside constitutional protection.

B&T AG Says It Regained Control Of U.S. Brand After B&T USA Settlement - Ammoland.com
B&T’s messy American brand fight appears to be over. B&T AG announced June 25 that it reached a comprehensive settlement resolving its dispute with B&T USA, clearing the way for pending litigation to be dismissed, U.S. trademarks to return to B&T AG’s control, and a new wholly Swiss-owned U.S. operation to be established later this year.
That is a major update for American gun owners, dealers, collectors, and law-enforcement customers who watched the B&T split unfold with more questions than answers.
“B&T AG has reached a comprehensive settlement, resolving all outstanding disputes between the parties,” the company stated. “As part of this agreement, all pending litigation will be dismissed, enabling both parties to move forward under a clearly defined transition framework.”

Virginia Assault Firearms Ban Blocked Statewide Until Dec. 31 - Ammoland.com
A Virginia judge has issued a statewide preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of the Commonwealth’s new ban on so-called “assault firearms” until December 31, 2026, handing Virginia gun owners a major victory just days before the law was scheduled to take effect.
The ruling came Thursday in Crump v. Katz, the state-court challenge to Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s sweeping gun-control package. The judge read the preliminary injunction from the bench and made clear that the assault-firearms ban is now enjoined statewide while the case proceeds.
The Commonwealth tried to limit the injunction to Lancaster County. The judge refused.
The state then asked the judge to stay his own ruling. He refused that, too.
That means the injunction is in effect now unless a higher court intervenes. Virginia’s assault-firearms ban is not merely delayed on paper. It is blocked statewide through Dec. 31.
