FPC Applauds Supreme Court Decision on Federal Marijuana Gun Ban

Leave a comment

The United States Supreme Court today issued a decision in United States v. Hemani, unanimously holding that the federal ban on gun possession by “unlawful” users of controlled substances (such as marijuana) violates the right to keep and bear arms protected by the Second Amendment as applied to Mr. Hemani.

The Court’s opinion for Hemani was written by Justice Gorsuch. Concurring opinions were written by Justices Thomas, Jackson (joined by Justice Sotomayor), and Alito (joined by Justice Kagan).

The decision was issued on June 18, 2026, by the United States Supreme Court in Washington, D.C.

Today’s ruling ends the government’s unconstitutional prosecution of Mr. Hemani for possessing firearms while being a marijuana user and significantly raises the burden for future prosecutions under the statute. The decision also clarifies the “how” and “why” analysis under Bruen, squarely rejecting the government’s attempt to analogize historical laws targeting habitual drunkards to a modern law that broadly disarms marijuana users.

SAF Files Lawsuit Challenging California Contra Costa County’s Carry Bans

Leave a comment

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has filed a federal lawsuit in California challenging Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office policies that prohibit permit holders from carrying handguns equipped with red dot sights or flashlights, as well as their outright ban on the carry of single action only (SAO) 1911- and 2011-style pistols.

The policies, enforced by Sheriff David Livingston, are unique in the nation. To SAF’s knowledge, no other county or city in California – or anywhere else in the United States – imposes such restrictions on law-abiding carry permit holders. The complaint alleges the policies violate the Second and Fourteenth Amendments under the Supreme Court’s decisions in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen and District of Columbia v. Heller.

“Contra Costa County is the only jurisdiction in America that forbids law-abiding CCW permit holders from using red dot sights, firearm-mounted lights, or carrying the venerable 1911 platform,” said SAF Director of Legal Research and Education Kostas Moros. “These are common, popular and safety-enhancing features and firearms used by millions of Americans and even adopted by multiple California law enforcement agencies. There is zero historical tradition supporting these restrictions, and they cannot survive scrutiny under Bruen.” Read more

Celebrating 250 Years of Liberty: The Founding Fathers 1911

Leave a comment

Auto-Ordnance honors the United States’ 250th anniversary with the “Founding Fathers” 1911. This commemorative masterpiece created by the talented team at Altered Arsenal features a worn Old Glory red, white, and blue flag finish, paying homage to the nation’s enduring spirit. Intricate engravings along the stainless steel slide and frame depict the signing of the Declaration of Independence alongside General Washington leading his troops. Marked with “1776,” “2026,” and a prominent “250,” the slide proudly celebrates two and a half centuries of American independence. The custom aluminum grips further enhance the piece, showcasing the Liberty Bell and a bald eagle set over the text of the Declaration.

Beyond its striking appeal as a commemorative art piece, the Founding Fathers 1911 is built on the premium Auto-Ordnance Stainless 1911 platform, ensuring it is a highly capable shooting pistol loaded with modern upgrades. Chambered in the classic .45 ACP, the firearm utilizes a precision-manufactured, high-quality stainless steel frame, slide, and five-inch match-grade barrel. To guarantee exceptional durability over thousands of rounds, the slide, sear, and disconnector are meticulously heat-treated. Performance on the range is elevated by an adjustable trigger, a skeletonized hammer, and a full-length recoil guide rod.

Shooter ergonomics are further optimized with an extended beavertail grip safety, an extended magazine release, and convenient front cocking serrations cut into the slide. For a remarkably secure and positive hold, both the mainspring housing and front strap feature precise, machined checkering at 20 lines per inch. Serving as both a robust, functional firearm and a stunning tribute to the nation’s founding, it perfectly merges historical reverence with modern manufacturing. It is an ideal addition for collectors, sport shooters, and patriots looking to mark this historic milestone. The Founding Fathers 1911 includes one seven-round magazine and has an MSRP of $1,643.

Michigan Bat Roost Monitoring Effort Returns for Second Summer

Leave a comment

From tree cavities and trunks to bridges and barns, bats are settling into a variety of summer roosts across Michigan. Just as they did last year, residents can help scientists better understand where these important mammals are living, by sharing information about the bat activity they see around their homes and communities.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Michigan Natural Features Inventory are asking the public to report bat roost locations through the Michigan Bat Roost Monitoring Program.

Providing the information is easy. The online form asks for basic information such as the date and time when you saw bats using the roost, whether the location is on public or private land, the type of structure (house, barn, bat box, etc.), and how many bats you observed using the roost. There also is an opportunity to share photos.

This project focuses on summer roosts — places where bats rest and raise their young during the warmer months. Bats typically use summer roosts through August or early September. As temperatures cool in the fall, many species move to winter roosts, called hibernacula, where they hibernate until spring. Reports of summer roosts can be submitted at any time, even if the observation occurred earlier in the year. Read more
