🚨NFA GUIDANCE UPDATE🚨
From the Trump Administration’s latest filing in GOA’s case Silencer Shop v. ATF:
“@TheJusticeDept has determined not to file an appeal” in this case. Separately, @ATFHQ is currently working to finalize public guidance regarding the NFA.”
🚨BREAKING🚨
Solicitor General John Sauer just notified Congress “that @TheJusticeDept [will not] file an appeal” in GOA’s victory against the NFA, Silencer Shop v. ATF.
ATF cannot force GOA members to register suppressors or short barrels EVER AGAIN. This is PERMANENT! 🇺🇸

Phil Parrish's bullshit lawsuit to overturn and recount the Republican primary is going well.
Parrish didn't even cite the right statutes in his suit.

Suppressors without a Form 4? Mostly true right now, but there are limits.
A federal judge blocked NFA enforcement on $0-tax items like suppressors, effective August 13. It's not nationwide. It only covers members of certain organizations and customers of certain retailers, like Silencer Shop, which is treating Minnesota as covered.
And Minnesota gun owners face a real risk: if the injunction falls, state law makes unregistered possession a felony, and there's no way to register after the fact.
Get the full breakdown in this video from Rob Doar, President of the MN Gun Owners Law Center.

Former Assistant Anoka County Attorney Andrea Leigh Sampson, 35, has been arrested and charged with 26 felony counts for her alleged role in a major Twin Cities sex trafficking and prostitution ring. The charges against her include 13 counts of promoting prostitution and 13 counts of receiving profits from prostitution.
Sampson is accused of securing and providing specific locations where commercial sex transactions occurred. She allegedly used her properties to take photographs of victims for commercial sex ads and created multiple LLC shell companies to hide the operation's profits.
Law enforcement identified at least 13 victims. Victims reported being forced to pay the organization $100 per transaction. Some victims noted that an armed male would show up to keep them "in line" when management was displeased.
Sampson is charged alongside three others, including Frank Reeves, 57, and Viktoriya Komonash, 30. Phone records revealed that Sampson and the other female suspects all believed they were in a romantic relationship with Reeves. Investigators also discovered the group was running assisted living and autism facilities to collect additional revenue.

I think the policy is silly. Equally silly is claiming that vouching is a major source of election fraud.

United States v. Hemani (June 18, 2026)
Concurrence in the Judgment: Alito*, Kagan
No SCOTUSgami.
The last time an opinion was joined by these 2 justices was in a concurrence in Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. on March 19, 2013.
Federal charges against St. Paul resident Nasra Ahmed have been dismissed with prejudice, meaning they cannot be refiled. Ahmed, a U.S. citizen, had been accused of assaulting federal agents during an ICE operation earlier this year.
