GOA, GOF Successful in Overturning Virginia’s Universal Background Check Law; Judge Halts Enforcement

In a landmark decision affirming Second Amendment protections, a Virginia circuit court struck down the state’s universal background check law for private firearm sales, granting a permanent injunction that bars the law’s enforcement statewide. The ruling in Wilson, et al. v. Colonel Matthew D. Hanley, highlights fatal constitutional flaws in the statute, rendering it completely unenforceable.

The Court declared Virginia Code § 18.2-308.2:5 unconstitutional, particularly due to its discriminatory impact on law-abiding adults aged 18-20. The Court then granted our request to enjoin the administration and enforcement of the law across the entire Commonwealth of Virginia.

Erich Pratt, Senior Vice President of Gun Owners of America, issued the following statement: “This decision vindicates the rights of all Virginians to engage in lawful private firearm transfers without unconstitutional barriers. The Act’s enforcement mechanism was fatally flawed from the start—criminalizing everyday citizens while ignoring basic constitutional principles. We’re grateful the court recognized that patchwork fixes can’t save a broken law.” Read more

FPC Files Hard-Hitting Amended Complaint

PORTLAND, Ore. (October 30, 2025) – Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) today confirmed the filing of its Second Amended Complaint (SAC) in Montgomery v. Rosenblum, the federal challenge to Oregon’s unconstitutional ban on personally manufactured firearms (PMFs), enacted through House Bill 2005 (HB 2005). This filing follows the District Court’s September dismissal of the case in an absurdly activist decision that flipped Supreme Court Second Amendment precedent on its head and allowed the State to evade historical scrutiny.

FPC’s SAC demonstrates that the combined force of Oregon’s statutes, which ban the possession of both unserialized precursors and finished self-made firearms, function as a total and absolute prohibition on the right to make one’s own arms. It also surgically addresses the district court’s flawed order by exhaustively linking the ban directly to conduct and arms that are indisputably protected by the Second Amendment. This makes crystal clear that Oregon’s laws amount to an unconstitutional ban and that it is the State’s burden to justify them using relevant history—which it cannot do.

Said FPC President Brandon Combs, “With this amended complaint, the Court has two choices: either hold Oregon’s feet to the fire or ignore the Supreme Court’s precedents altogether. Read more

CSF Leads Effort to Protect Science-Based Wildlife Management, Defeating Animal Rights Activists

Wednesday, the U.S. Senate resoundingly voted to protect science-based wildlife management by rejecting a proposal, S.J. Res. 69, to overturn the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (FWS) Barred Owl Management Strategy, an effort influenced by some of the nation’s leading anti-hunting and animal rights activists. Leading up to the vote, the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation (CSF) worked directly with the nearly 60 U.S. Senators in the Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus to see this proposal defeated.

It is estimated that Northern spotted owls range from 3,000 to 5,200 birds in total. One of the biggest threats facing spotted owls is the non-native, invasive barred owls, which outcompete the threatened, native spotted owls. To address this issue, in 2024, FWS released a comprehensive plan to authorize the science-based removal of barred owls across certain portions of the spotted owl range in the Pacific Northwest. This management strategy was developed by the professionals at FWS, in collaboration with the effected state and tribal wildlife agencies and other important stakeholders, under the Biden Administration and is strongly supported by FWS in the Trump Administration, demonstrating that science-based wildlife management is not a partisan issue.

Since inception, S.J. Res. 69 was not to be taken at face value of “protecting owls”, but rather this was nothing more than a disguised effort by animal rights activists to ignore scientifically sound, yet difficult, wildlife management decisions. Read more

MUSKEGON, MI – Waterfowl hunters often choose favorites when it comes to how and what they hunt. Loosely stated, there are goose hunters and duck hunters. Some prefer to hunt over water, too, while others love to field hunt. And many hunters are equal opportunists who do a little bit of everything. But, at the end of the day, what waterfowlers really want are ducks and geese locked up and finishing over decoys for easy shots. Read more

Prepared 2 Protect Launches Secure 68P

Prepared 2 Protect’s newest less-lethal self-defense tool is now available.

The P2P Secure 68P is a .68 caliber CO2-powered launcher that features several innovations to help users defend themselves, their families or their property with confidence.

The Secure 68P has an effective range up to 80 feet, which allows users to engage a threat at distance, and fires at 350 feet per second (19 joules). The removable magazine holds six rounds of less-lethal ammo, while the Response Ready Trigger means the CO2 cartridge remains sealed until the trigger is pulled. Additionally, the Set Torque Seal Technology prevents over-tightening to ensure the CO2 is only pierced upon the first trigger pull.

Fiber-optic sights make targeting the threat intuitive while a trigger safety allows fast usage when the need arises. A nine-round extended magazine and a right-hand holster will be available as additional accessories.

The Secure 68P comes in a storage case with three CO2 cartridges, six Rubber Impact rounds and 12 Core Defense rounds (six powder and six pepper). Patented Core Defense ammo features a steel core centered in the round to provide stability in flight for more accuracy. It also works in conjunction with the design of the outer shell to induce more breakage when the ammo hits the target. Core Defense pepper rounds contain 7-percent PAVA powder to overwhelm the senses of the assailant so users will have time to move to safety. Read more
