Virginia Judge Blocks State Police From Enforcing Universal Background Checks - Ammoland.com
A Lynchburg judge on June 3, 2026, firmly rejected a request from the Virginia State Police (VSP) and Attorney General Jay Jones to dissolve an existing injunction blocking the enforcement of Universal Background Checks (UBCs) on private firearm sales.
The controversy dates back to the fall of 2025, when a Lynchburg court issued a landmark ruling blocking Virginia’s attempt to impose Universal Background Checks for private firearm transactions. The court order explicitly prevented the Virginia State Police from enforcing the law, determining that it violated Article I, Section 13 of the Virginia State Constitution, which protects the right to keep and bear arms. Following the decision, the Virginia State Police immediately ceased processing background checks for private sales in compliance with the judicial injunction.
However, the political landscape shifted dramatically just a month later. Democrats secured the governor’s mansion and maintained control of both chambers of the Virginia General Assembly. Upon taking office in January 2026, the new Democratic majority moved quickly to advance an aggressive gun control agenda. Among the flurry of gun-related bills was legislation specifically designed to resume and mandate background checks for private firearm sales.

ATF Proposed Rule Could Reopen Firearm Imports From Several Former Soviet Countries - Ammoland.com
In a rare bit of good news from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the agency has proposed rolling back outdated import restrictions that have blocked firearms and ammunition from several former Soviet countries for nearly three decades.
The proposed rule, published in the Federal Register on May 6, 2026, would update ATF’s list of “proscribed countries” for import restrictions and bring the agency’s regulations in line with the State Department’s current foreign policy list. More importantly for gun owners, collectors, importers, and the firearms industry, the rule would remove several former Soviet countries from ATF’s automatic denial list for permanent firearm and ammunition imports.
Those countries are Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.
The Russian Federation would remain restricted.

Ninth Circuit Rules Suppressors Are Not Second Amendment Arms - Ammoland.com
The Ninth Circuit just handed gun control lawyers another gift, and it came from exactly the kind of case Second Amendment advocates should dread.
In United States v. João Ricardo DeBorba, the court upheld a stack of federal gun convictions against a man who was unlawfully in the United States, had claimed U.S. citizenship on firearm-related paperwork, was subject to domestic violence no-contact orders, and was caught with firearms, ammunition, and an unregistered suppressor.
Bad cases still make law, and this one may do real damage. The most dangerous part of the ruling is not simply that DeBorba lost. Given the facts, that outcome was hardly surprising. The problem is that the Ninth Circuit went out of its way to say that suppressors, also called silencers, are not “arms” protected by the plain text of the Second Amendment.
The court treated suppressors as optional firearm accessories and said they are not covered because they are not necessary to the ordinary operation of a firearm. In other words, because a gun can technically fire without a suppressor, the court says a suppressor falls outside the Second Amendment.
