| Blockbuster 2A Win, As Fifth Circuit Strikes Down Fed Ban on Interstate Handgun Sales |
| 2026-09-19 |
| [RedState] A major win for the Second Amendment happened with a court ruling released on Friday. It comes just weeks after another court struck down a major part of the National Firearms Act (NFA) involving suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and short-barreled shotguns, as we previously wrote. The big news out of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday involves Elite Precision Customs v. ATF, and comes via SCOTUS Wire, who shared it as part of a thread with some analysis after the story broke:

It then found the government’s historical analogues too dissimilar to justify a categorical ban on direct interstate handgun sales.
