SAF Win in California’s One-Gun-Per-Month Lawsuit

BELLEVUE, Wash. —— In a unanimous decision, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of SAF and its partners in Nguyen v. Bonta, SAF’s challenge to California’s one-gun-per-month gun rationing law.

SAF is joined in the case by the Firearms Policy Coalition, Inc., and San Diego County Gun Owners PAC, two FFL gun dealers, and six private citizens including Michelle Nguyen, for whom the case is named.

“Today’s decision claws back a portion of Second Amendment rights stolen by California’s government,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “California’s one-gun-per-month law was in clear violation of the Second Amendment, as affirmed by the unanimous decision in the Ninth Circuit. This ruling is one step closer to liberating the people of the state from the totalitarian ideals of those in power who believe the right to keep and bear arms is a second-class right.” Read more

RMEF Strongly Opposes Sale of Federal Public Land

The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation strongly opposes a measure placed in the budget reconciliation bill that calls for the sale of 2 to 3 million acres of Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service land.

“RMEF opposes the large-scale transfer or sale of federal public lands,” said RMEF President and CEO Kyle Weaver. “Further, RMEF adamantly opposes the current backdoor attempt in Congress to erase existing law that affords transparency and opportunity for public input prior to the sale or transfer of any federal public land.”

An RMEF delegation is active on Capitol Hill, working with lawmakers as recently as last week. It also shared concerns with Senate leadership earlier this month as it did with U.S. House members in May.

RMEF is more than just an advocate for and voice of public lands. It opens and improves access for the public. Since its founding in 1984, RMEF opened or improved public access to more than 1.6 million acres.

“We call on our membership and all outdoorsmen and women to contact their federal lawmakers and encourage them to remove this provision and support public access,” added Weaver. Read more

Letter to Senate Educates Lawmakers on Benefits of NFA Deregulation

In a letter sent to Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Mike Crapo, the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), along with its partners, helps set the record straight regarding the removal of suppressors and short-barreled firearms from the National Firearms Act (NFA).

The letter reminds leadership that if removed from the NFA, suppressors and short-barreled firearms would still be considered firearms under the Gun Control Act for purposes of manufacture, sale and purchase. In short, purchasers would still be required to pass a background check just like when buying any other firearm from a Federal Firearms Licensee.

“The removal of silencers and short-barreled firearms from the National Firearms Act would allow peaceable citizens across the nation to exercise their full Second Amendment rights without the hindrance of an unconstitutional tax and waiting times,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “The name silencer is a bit of a misnomer because they merely lower the decibel level to a safer threshold but don’t eliminate the noise. Studies have shown that combining hearing protection along with a silencer when shooting significantly reduces the risk of hearing loss, making for a safer experience.”

As noted in the letter: “…the [National Hearing Conservation Association] and the Academy of Doctors of Audiology support the removal of the tax on suppressors as a method to improve access to these hearing safety devices.” Read more

2A WIN: Louisiana Enacts Non-Resident Carry Following FPC Lawsuit

BATON ROUGE, La. – Today, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced that Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry has signed FPC-supported House Bill 407, which repeals residency restrictions and expands access to the right to bear arms in the state. HB 407 is a legislative response to an FPC right-to-carry lawsuit, Mate v. Wescott, that was filed as part of FPC’s work to eliminate unconstitutional residency requirements throughout the United States.

“On behalf of our members, we thank Rep. Ventrella for her leadership on this important issue and Gov. Landry for signing this bill into law,” said FPC President Brandon Combs. “We are thrilled that Louisiana has made this critical change to improve access to the right to bear arms. We and our members are working to unlock the right to carry throughout the United States, and this bill helps do just that.

“Now it’s time for Congress to fix and pass H.R. 38 so that all Americans can exercise their right to bear arms without fear of arrest and prosecution.” Read more

GOA Calls on Congress to Honor Independence Day by Repealing NFA Taxes

Gun Owners of America (GOA) is calling on Congress to stand firm in support of Section 70436 of H.R. 1—the “One Big Beautiful Bill”—which would fully repeal the unconstitutional excise taxes on suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and any other weapons under the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA).

GOA is demanding that lawmakers preserve Section 70436 and adhere to their Independence Day deadline to pass this legislation and deliver a historic win for the Second Amendment.

GOA will continue working with congressional allies and mobilizing grassroots support to ensure this key section remains intact and becomes law.

Sam Paredes, Gun Owners of America Board Member, issued the following statement: “July 4th is the perfect day to strike down the tyranny of the NFA’s unconstitutional tax scheme. This represents a long-overdue restoration of rights that never should have been taken away in the first place. Congress must not cave or delay. Gun owners expect action—and GOA will hold accountable any lawmaker who tries to gut this historic provision.” Read more

The Chronic Incompletion of Bighorn Sheep Restoration

Squeezed by disease events, water scarcity, and agency commitment, wild sheep recovery remains a work in progress. 

Excerpt from Fair Chase Magazine Summer 2025
By Andrew McKean, B&C Professional Member
sum25_bighornsheep-fb.jpg
Wild Sheep Foundation matched a $30,000 grant from Spanish gunmaker Bergara to help fund a special guzzler project in the Muddy Mountains in Nevada. The remote location required helicopter transport of all tools, equipment, materials, and manpower to complete the guzzlers. The structure itself has a 100’ X 150’ apron that captures and directs water to eight 2,300-gallon tanks.

Owing to their high-elevation haunts and habit of staying well away from the more disruptive tendencies of humans, bighorn sheep were fairly insulated from our first continental wildlife reckoning.

As deer, elk, wild turkeys, pronghorns, and a whole menagerie of birds got caught in the thresher of American progress, bighorn rams were relatively unaffected by farms, factories, and the firearms of market hunters. The exceptions that paid the price in extinction were our lowland sheep, the Audubon subspecies of the lower Missouri and Yellowstone rivers that fed the crews and woodhawks of the steamboat era.
