The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held that federal limits on buying and selling handguns across state lines violate the Second Amendment. The case, Elite Precision Customs v. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, identified provisions of 18 United States Code section 922 that together block direct interstate handgun transactions. The court reversed the lower court and rendered judgment for the plaintiffs, stating these provisions collectively bar cross-border handgun sales and purchases.

United States District Judge John L. Sinatra Jr. ruled that body armor is an “arm” covered by the Second Amendment’s plain text, striking down New York’s first-in-the-nation ban on civilian purchases and sales of protective vests. The court granted summary judgment for the plaintiffs and permanently blocked the state from enforcing its restrictions, though the order is paused for 14 days to allow an appeal. The core holding rests on text, history, and tradition, as required by the Supreme Court’s 2022 framework.

Numerous Democrat senators turned to social media to demand more gun control after a shooting at an elementary school in Bend, Oregon. Their push came even though an armed bystander entered the school behind the attacker and brought the assault to an end, as reported by Breitbart.

An Evans man shot three times during an altercation with a DoorDash driver is expected to survive and faces an attempted carjacking charge, according to the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office. The shooting occurred Thursday in a Martinez shopping center parking lot.

There was no testimony during the trial that Daga broke any law with his firearms. In New York mere possession of a homemade firearm is a crime.

There were no ATF or any other federal agents present when law enforcement raided Daga’s home in 2025. The entire investigation was conducted by the New York State Police. These state troopers examined purchases Daga had made online, after they were told to look at his online history by New York’s Queens County District Attorney’s Office.
