ATF will stop enforcing NFA registration, making, and transfer rules nationwide for suppressors, SBRs, SBSs, and AOWs after DOJ declined to appeal a Texas court ruling. The policy leaves machine guns, destructive devices, and state law untouched.
Democrats Fight DOJ Handgun Opinion
Nearly 200 House Democrats are demanding DOJ keep enforcing the federal handgun ban on 18-to-20-year-olds after an OLC opinion found it unconstitutional. The fight signals where the next anti-gun administration will aim first.

NFA Items in 2026: What Actually Changed, and Who It Applies To
Two changes eleven months apart did more to the National Firearms Act than anything since 1934. The $200 tax on suppressors, SBRs and SBSs went to zero on January 1. On August 5 a federal judge struck the registration scheme itself. But that injunction covers a specific list of people, and living in a plaintiff state does not put you on it.

Montana 2026 Hunting Regulations: What Changed
Montana's 2026 hunting season looks meaningfully different from last year — the 2025 Legislature passed several new laws, the Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission set new regulations in December 2025, and the way you buy your license has changed from the ground up.

Wyoming 2026 Hunting Regulations: What Changed
Wyoming's 2026 hunting season brings two meaningful legislative changes — one reshaping how nonresident access is capped on the state's most coveted species, and another reworking how landowners can stack licenses. If you hunt Wyoming or plan to, both matter.

Arizona 2026 Hunting Regulations: What Changed
Arizona came into 2026 with a handful of real regulatory changes on the books — amended Article 4 wildlife rules now in effect, a legislative push to lock in the right to hunt at the statutory level, and a proposed landowner deer permit system that could reshape how private-land deer hunting works…

Home Defense Firearms: Shotgun vs Pistol vs AR-15
Somebody breaks your front door at 2 a.m. You've got maybe seconds to get to your firearm, get your family clear, and be ready. The gun sitting in your nightstand better be one you can actually run -- not the one that looked cool at the gun store six months ago.
