Blue States Plot “Loophole” to Undermine Federal Gun Industry Protections - Ammoland.com
Nearly twenty years ago, Congress passed the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) to stop activist lawyers and anti-gun politicians from bankrupting America’s firearms industry through endless, politically motivated lawsuits.
Now, a group of blue states thinks they’ve found a way to circumvent federal law, the will of the poeple, and bring those same attacks back through the side door.
The New Anti-Gun Playbook
Since 2021, ten Democrat-run states — led by New York and Connecticut — have passed legislation designed to pierce the federal immunity that protects lawful gunmakers and dealers.
Connecticut Democrats’ new law, which just took effect, lets anti-gun activists sue manufacturers if they don’t take “reasonable steps” to prevent firearms from reaching criminals or the mentally unstable — a standard so vague it could mean anything an anti-gun judge wants it to mean.

DOJ Considers Appeal in Montana Gun Free School Zone Case - Ammoland.com
In the Billings, Montana, Gun Free School Zone (GFSZ) case of Gabriel Metcalf, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals published a split decision, which struck down the indictment against Gabriel Metcalf. Thomas K. Godfrey, the Assistant U.S. Attorney prosecuting the case, has filed a petition requesting an additional 45 days to consider whether to file a petition for rehearing. A petition for rehearing would ask for the original three-judge panel to rehear the case.
The United States of America moves the Court for an extension in which to file its petition for rehearing in this case. Rule 40 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure specifies that a petition for rehearing must be filed within 14 days from the entry of judgment. Currently, the United States must submit any petition for rehearing on or before October 7, 2025.
The Solicitor General is still reviewing this matter and requires an additional 45 days to complete his review to determine whether a petition for rehearing will be sought.
If the Court grants this motion, the United States’ petition for rehearing would be due on or before November 21, 2025.
The United States has contacted Russell Hart, counsel for Metcalf. He advised that he does not oppose this motion.
Metcalf is currently in not in custody.
Metcalf has not opposed the petition. A rehearing could revive the issue of whether the Gun Free School Zone Act violates the rights protected by the Second Amendment in this case. The reason given for the extension is to give the Solicitor General time to study the case and make a decision. The Solicitor General of the United States is D. John Sauer.

Wolford v. Lopez: Flipping the Default on Gun Carry Bans, Alan Beck Thinks SCOTUS Will Stop It - Ammoland.com
Hawaii changed the rules after Bruen. Instead of allowing concealed carry on public-facing private property—think stores, restaurants, and their parking lots—unless the owner says “no,” Hawaii did the opposite. Now it’s banned unless the owner explicitly says “yes.”
Gun-rights attorney Alan Beck is asking the Supreme Court to put that genie back in the bottle.
This isn’t a niche fight. If almost no businesses post “guns allowed,” then a carry permit becomes a sidewalk-only pass. You can walk armed down the block, but you’re disarmed the moment you step into normal life. On Maui alone, petitioners estimate that more than 96% of publicly accessible land is off-limits once you layer in Hawaii’s long “sensitive places” list and this new default rule. That flips Bruen’s warning—sensitive places should be the exception, not the rule.
Beck’s Core Pitch, in Plain English
Beck’s strategy is simple: use Bruen as written. The State has to point to a historical tradition that’s meaningfully similar in the how and the why. Hawaii and the Ninth Circuit leaned on two old laws that don’t carry the load: a 1771 anti-poaching rule about trespass with long guns on land not open to the public, and an 1865 Louisiana “Black Code” aimed at disarming freedmen after the Civil War. Neither matches modern carry in a store that invites the public in, and neither adds up to a real “tradition.” Two outliers, decades apart, don’t rewrite the Second Amendment.

ATF Drops CLEO Notification from Form 1 NFA Applications - Ammoland.com
The ATF just previewed a batch of housekeeping changes to Form 1 (ATF 5320.1)—the form gun owners use to make and register NFA items like SBRs and suppressors. Buried in the Federal Register notice is the big one: the agency plans to remove the Chief Law Enforcement Officer (CLEO) notification requirement for NFA registration.
The ATF’s filing also modernizes items in preparation for the upcoming changes to the NFA’s tax structure, as it will no longer collect a tax on SBRs and suppressors. It clarifies how you can pay the $200 tax for “machinegun(s) or destructive device” or $0 for “other types of firearms,” such as SBRs and suppressors.
There is also an update to accept additional types of digital signatures and let applicants attach a passport-style photo or ID copy instead of using a fixed photo box on the form. There’s also a cleanup of wording and new instructions for married couples registering as an “other legal entity.” All of that is in service of making the form easier to complete and aligning it with incoming tax changes.

A Warning to Florida Public Officials About the New Open-Carry Law - Ammoland.com
No one is issued a Glock when they move to Florida, unfortunately. Florida’s state gun laws are good, but not that good, at least not yet.
The Gunshine State only recently legalized open carry, which was decades overdue. However, it was never passed by our state lawmakers and was never signed by the governor into law. Instead, Florida’s gun community legalized open-carry without using lawmakers.
After open carry became law, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier quickly warned all state prosecutors and every state law enforcement agency about the case, McDaniels v. State, in which the First District Court of Appeal struck down Florida’s ban on the open carry of arms.
The Attorney General also told the group they should “refrain from arresting or prosecuting law-abiding citizens carrying a firearm in a manner that is visible to others.”
Most cities reacted well to the new law. However, there were a few Democratic strongholds scattered throughout the state that did not take the news well at all. Their reactions may have violated the law.

Anti-Gunners Just Obliterated the Greatest Gun Control Myth - Ammoland.com
No doubt that when The Trace posted an article purporting to show that 150 cities were showing “one of the greatest drops in gun violence—ever,” it unintentionally destroyed one of the greatest gun control myths—ever—in the process: that more guns in private hands would result in more carnage and death.
Authored by Trace reporter and editor Olga Pierce, this remarkable report acknowledges, “The downward trend cuts across red and blue cities and states in every region of the country.”
But this downward trend comes at a time when more Americans own more guns than probably any other time in recent history. Twenty-nine states have adopted “Constitutional Carry” laws which do away with a licensing requirement, and that may increase to 30 states in mid-November when North Carolina lawmakers hold a veto override vote on Senate Bill 50, that state’s permitless carry bill, according to a report at TheGunMag.com. That vote is now scheduled Nov. 17.
More than 21 million citizens are licensed to carry and many states have reciprocity agreements, enabling armed residents from one state carry in other states on their own state’s license/permit.

David Hogg: “The Grift that Keeps on Grifting” - Ammoland.com
At this point, anybody who reads NRA-ILA’s Grassroots Alerts even sporadically is well aware of the shameless, anti-gun self-promoter David Hogg.
He has parlayed his radical activism into what some might think was being gifted entrance into Harvard, a major position with the Democratic National Committee (DNC)—a position he was quickly forced to surrender—and a well-paid gig running a PAC; a PAC whose effectiveness has been questioned by fellow Democrats.
All this has led to at least one “high-ranking Democrat outside of the DNC” alleging that Hogg’s political activism may be little more than a grift. Hence the title of this latest missive on David.
Hogg and his PAC have been criticized on a number of fronts. When he ascended to his position with the DNC, one of his first acts was to use that organization’s resources to raise money for his PAC (a PAC from which he draws his salary).
This was likely one of the reasons he is no longer with the DNC.
Then he boldly proclaimed his PAC would raise $20 million to promote candidates he supports in primaries, even if that meant going against Democrats that are currently in office.
While DNC officials had reportedly signed a “neutrality policy” earlier this year that seemed designed to protect Democrat incumbents, Hogg was apparently the only one to not sign.
Another probable reason he is no longer with the DNC.
