Minnesota Firearm News

There is an old saying that there are only two truths in life, death & taxes.  This week I would add a third constant, government defending governmental power.  With the recent brief filed by the Department of Justice under Pam Bondi in Gun Owners of America’s (GOA) lawsuit to remove items form the National Firearms Act.  The DOJ and the Trump Administration as signaled that they are, at least in part, in favor of some gun control in the United States. 

We here at 2 If By Sea Tactical, hope Mr. Cekada can help guide the Justice Department towards more pro-freedom arguments and support us gun owners and the 2nd Amendment.  He is given an unenviable task.  One that the ATF has repeatedly failed with deadly consequences.   We are praying we will be a voice of reason and help us seize on the window we have for this short period of time to roll back restrictions.   

When it comes to laws passed in government, rarely does the new year present change or deviation.  Especially when laws have been in the books for 91 years.  In 2026, this will be the exception to that rule.

The Founding Fathers understood what they were doing when they inserted the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution.  They had just successfully led an armed rebellion over the largest and best trained military the World had ever seen to that point.  They understood the implications, and dangers that such a stance would mean.  However, they deemed the rewards and values of Freedom were greater than any risks.

Whether it is because of the financial burden of defending oneself in court. Or press hit pieces that follow; or outright bans in states via the Governmental Gatekeepers in their prospective states, Glock has opened up everyone to lawsuits.  What may follow this decision could be dark for our industry and embolden those who want to see the 2nd Amendment erased entirely.  We must remain vigilant and pray that Glock’s decision had actual meaning and is only a blip on the radar.
