ATF 'Zero-Tolerance' Policy Reversal
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) reported a significant increase in federal firearms license (FFL) revocations in 2024, totaling 195—a nearly 25% rise from 2023. This uptick was attributed to the Biden administration's "zero-tolerance" policy, which penalized minor clerical errors. The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) welcomed the Trump administration's decision to rescind this policy, viewing it as a positive shift for lawful firearm retailers.

Continued Firearm Purchases Amid Economic Challenges
Despite economic headwinds, firearm sales remain robust. A Rasmussen poll indicated that 19% of American adults, or someone in their household, purchased a firearm in the past year, with 64% citing self-defense as the primary reason. This trend persists even as some states implement laws that NSSF views as obstacles to Second Amendment rights.

DOJ Emphasizes Second Amendment Protections
Harmeet Dhillon, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, announced that the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division is prioritizing the protection of Second Amendment rights. The division plans to challenge state laws that it believes infringe upon these rights, especially those that contradict recent Supreme Court rulings.
West Virginia Enacts Pro-Firearm Legislation
West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey signed three bills into law aimed at protecting the firearm industry and Second Amendment rights:

House Bill 2067: The West Virginia Firearms Liability Clarification Act
House Bill 3342: The Firearms Industry Nondiscrimination Act
Senate Bill 270: Prohibits the suspension of gun rights during declared emergencies
These laws received bipartisan support and were praised by the NSSF for safeguarding the industry against legal overreach.

Meeting with Interior Secretary on Outdoor Access
NSSF's Larry Keane met with U.S. Department of the Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to discuss the implementation of the Range Access Act, part of the EXPLORE Act. The Act mandates the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service to open public recreational shooting ranges in underserved areas. Discussions also covered increasing public land access and expanding recreational shooting opportunities.
DOJ Supports Concealed Carry Rights in Supreme Court Case
The Department of Justice filed an amicus brief in the Supreme Court case Wolford v. Lopez, challenging Hawaii's restrictions on concealed carry license holders carrying firearms on private property open to the public. The DOJ argues that such restrictions violate Second Amendment rights, signaling the administration's commitment to defending lawful firearm ownership.

National Second Amendment News (Week of April 4–11, 2025)
1. Colorado Governor Signs Sweeping Semi-Automatic Ban
SB25-003, signed by Governor Jared Polis, prohibits the sale and transfer of most semi-automatic rifles and shotguns with detachable magazines.
Takes effect January 2026.
It mandates background checks, training requirements, and introduces an age limit.
The NSSF and other 2A advocates strongly oppose the law, anticipating constitutional challenges.
2. ATF "Zero-Tolerance" Policy Walked Back
The ATF’s controversial “zero-tolerance” revocation policy for Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) has reportedly been modified, following intense pressure from industry and Congress.
The original policy led to FFL revocations for paperwork errors. New guidance appears to provide more flexibility and due process for gun dealers.
This is seen as a significant victory for gun retailers and rights advocates.
3. House Judiciary Advances Firearm Preemption Protection Act
The House Judiciary Committee advanced the Firearm Industry Nondiscrimination (FIND) Act and Protecting the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Act.
These aim to protect lawful firearms businesses from being cut off by financial services and to reinforce Second Amendment protections across federal jurisdiction.
4. Supreme Court Declines Review of New York Concealed Carry Law
The Court declined to hear a challenge to New York's “Concealed Carry Improvement Act,” which adds strict licensing requirements and bans carry in most public areas.
This leaves lower court decisions in place and continues to restrict carry rights in New York.
Gun rights groups expressed frustration and concern over inconsistent application of Bruen precedent.
5. Ninth Circuit Upholds California’s Large-Capacity Magazine Ban
In a major 2A decision, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld California’s ban on magazines over 10 rounds in Duncan v. Bonta.
This ruling is expected to be appealed again, potentially reaching the Supreme Court.
Gun rights advocates argue it contradicts the Supreme Court's standard set in Bruen.
State-Level Second Amendment Developments
Arizona
Pro-gun legislation is moving forward in the Arizona legislature, including:
Strengthening state preemption laws, limiting cities and counties from enacting their own gun restrictions.
Bills to limit enforcement of federal gun control laws seen as unconstitutional.
Some proposals include repealing restrictions on certain NFA-regulated items (e.g., suppressors and short-barreled rifles).
California
After the Duncan decision, California officials are pushing for further restrictions, including:
More waiting period expansions.
New proposed taxes on gun and ammo sales.
Washington
New legislation is being considered to restrict open carry in more public spaces, building on last year's laws against open carry at demonstrations and state capitols.
Illinois
Legal challenges continue against the “assault weapon” and magazine bans passed in 2023.
Multiple counties and sheriffs are refusing to enforce the law.
State Supreme Court arguments are expected in late spring.
Oregon
Measure 114, which includes permit-to-purchase and magazine restrictions, remains on hold due to court injunctions.
State continues legal efforts to reinstate it, with a focus on implementing the permitting process.
