2A Weekly Wrap-Up: Major Wins, Rising Threats & Lessons from the Field

This past week in the 2A community brought a blend of major courtroom victories, political offensives, gear reviews, and hard-hitting discussions on firearm tactics and freedom. As always, gun owners remain alert and engaged as battles continue both in the courts and in the public square.

Big Legal & Political Shifts

The most impactful development was the Supreme Court's order ending a statewide ban on so-called “assault weapons,” marking a major win for gun owners rights and setting a potential precedent for challenges in other states. Meanwhile, Mexico's lawsuit against Smith & Wesson was rejected, ending a significant international attempt to undermine U.S. firearm manufacturers through the courts. However, the week wasn’t without new threats: radical anti-gun Attorneys General are now suing Texas over its protections for firearm freedom, and Senator Schumer launched a new series of attacks aimed at pushing federal restrictions.

Field Craft, Ballistics & Firearm Education

In the realm of skills and preparedness, content creators focused on actionable knowledge: learning to use MILs in the field, comparing 7.62x39 AK zeroing techniques, and evaluating legendary caliber debates like .308 vs. .30-06. These videos emphasize that firearm freedom isn't just about rights—it's about responsibility, training, and continual improvement. Likewise, there were discussions around the “180 Rule” myth, and how combat experience, such as that shared by a Marine commander from Echo in Ramadi, offers hard-earned wisdom to civilian defenders.

Cartel Violence & Tactical Insight

Geopolitical threats were front and center as well, including coverage of CJNG’s secret oil pipeline into the U.S., a dive into narco-subs off the Pacific, and analysis on why killing cartel leaders doesn’t end the war. These insights serve as grim reminders of the real-world dangers that make Second Amendment protections vital—not just for self-defense but for national resilience.

Community Voices & Cultural Commentary

Gun shows and podcasts continued to provide space for the community to speak and listen. Rob Pincus joined a live show, while VCDL, RapidFire Radio, and other creators hosted livestreams covering mental health, political accountability, and the history of the 1992 LA riots. The conversation around current protests in LA turning violent echoed lessons from decades past—emphasizing the ongoing need for self-reliance, clarity, and lawful readiness in uncertain times.
