An under-the-radar regulatory change during the Biden years quietly expanded what amounts to a federal warehouse of private information tied to nearly every firearms transaction in America.

merica is alone among the nations in having a Second Amendment. The Founders were among the wisest men—informed by wise women—of any age. They well understood human nature, particularly its dark side, and understood that a disarmed people are not free--can never be free—but are subjects. The Second Amendment was not written to allow sport shooting, target practice, hunting, even primarily protection from criminals. It was written to ensure that should government become tyrannical, Americans could rise against it and restore liberty. Democrats scream bloody murder when anyone speaks that fundamental truth, yet it was one of history’s most famous...

"Because these magazines are arms in common and ubiquitous use by law-abiding citizens across this country, we agree with Benson and the United States that the...
