FPC Fights Trump DOJ Effort to Gut Landmark Second Amendment Victory

Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) filed its opening brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in Reese v. ATF, challenging the district court’s denial of complete relief after FPC prevailed against the federal age-based handgun and ammunition purchase ban.

The plaintiffs include FPC, the Second Amendment Foundation, and the Louisiana Shooting Association. The plaintiffs are represented by David H. Thompson, Peter A. Patterson, and William V. Bergstrom of Cooper & Kirk, PLLC, as well as George J. Armbruster III of Armbruster & Associates, APLC.

The brief was filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, based in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The Fifth Circuit already held that the federal age-based handgun ban is unconstitutional. On remand, the district court limited relief to the Fifth Circuit and to people who were members of the plaintiff organizations at the time of the order. But the Trump DOJ has gone even further, arguing that the plaintiffs should receive no meaningful injunction at all and that relief should be limited to a narrow, shrinking group of people. FPC filed this brief to secure complete relief for its members and prevent the government from continuing to enforce unconstitutional laws.

“The Trump Administration is fighting as hard as it can to continue violating the Second Amendment rights of millions of Americans. Even though the Fifth Circuit already held that these bans are unconstitutional, the government is trying to limit the decision’s reach so it can keep disarming peaceable adults across the country.

FPC Files Reply Brief in Lawsuit Challenging Illegal Savannah, Ga. Gun Control Law

Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) filed a reply in support of its motion for summary judgment in Morris v. Savannah, its lawsuit challenging a City of Savannah, Georgia firearm storage ordinance that is patently unlawful under the State’s comprehensive firearm preemption law.

FPC is joined in the litigation by Deacon Morris, an FPC member. The plaintiffs are represented by attorney John R. Monroe of John Monroe Law, P.C.

The brief was filed in Chatham County Superior Court in Georgia.

The brief was filed on June 18, 2026. The Court will now either decide the motion on the papers or scheduled oral arguments.

Preemption laws like Georgia’s exist to prevent peaceable gun owners from having to navigate a minefield of ordinances that could result in fines and jail time. The state’s law applies to all local jurisdictions, including Savannah. Read more

DNR checks in on inland fisheries with lake and stream surveys

Contact: Jim Francis, 517-242-3593

A Department of Natural Resources crew conducting a stream survey on Highbanks Creek in Barry County.If you were out on the water last year, you might have noticed something interesting: crews with nets and measuring boards, catching and documenting fish. In 2025, Michigan Department of Natural Resources fisheries management units completed more than 350 fisheries surveys across the state. Staff completed 225 surveys of inland lakes and 127 surveys of streams.

“The fisheries management units performed inland fisheries surveys to evaluate if management actions, like fish stocking or habitat improvement projects, had the desired effect,” said Jim Francis, DNR Fisheries Division Lake Erie basin coordinator. “Survey data helps us understand whether our management actions resulted in better recreational fishing in certain areas or improved the overall health of a lake or stream.”

These surveys help track inland fisheries populations, evaluate stocking efforts to increase angler opportunities or address concerns from the public, all of which is critical for effectively managing the state’s diverse fisheries. Read more

Tips Lead to Poaching Arrests in Southern Indiana (Clark/Jefferson Counties)

Information provided by concerned citizens has led to multiple poaching and criminal charges after an extensive investigation conducted by Indiana Conservation Officers.

In December 2025, Indiana Conservation Officers received a report alleging that Woodrow Snyder, 28, of Charlestown, had been shooting multiple deer at night from a motor vehicle.

On the morning of Dec. 18, 2025, Clark County Sheriff’s Deputies and Indiana Conservation Officers responded to a complaint of shots fired. Officers conducted a traffic stop on a pickup truck driven by Snyder. Inside the truck, officers discovered multiple dead deer, and several discarded firearms were located along the roadside. Snyder’s passenger was arrested at the scene, and the vehicle was seized as evidence.

Over the following weeks, Indiana Conservation Officers executed several search warrants, collected extensive physical and digital evidence, and conducted numerous interviews with witnesses and suspects. The investigation revealed evidence indicating that Snyder, with the assistance of several accomplices, allegedly killed more than 30 white-tailed deer during the 2025 fall and winter seasons.

After officers submitted their findings, the Clark and Jefferson County prosecutor’s offices issued warrants for Snyder’s arrest. He was taken into custody on June 4, and booked into the Clark County Jail.

Snyder is facing the following charges:

• Obstruction of Justice (Level 6 Felony)
• Illegal Sale of Wildlife (Level 6 Felony)
• Unlawful Taking of Deer (Class B Misdemeanor)
• Jacklighting (Class C Misdemeanor)
• Hunting Without a License (Class C Misdemeanor)
• Hunting with the Aid of a Motor Vehicle (Class C Misdemeanor)
• Hunting Without Consent of a Landowner (Class C Misdemeanor) Read more
