Court ruling frees silencers from decades of federal paperwork, GOA launches unregistered transfers

A federal court ruling held that once Congress eliminated the National Firearms Act taxes on suppressors, the related registration and transfer rules lost constitutional footing, prompting Gun Owners of America and Silencer Shop to begin transferring silencers without NFA paperwork. Two midnight transfers in Texas—carried out by Brandon Herrera and Texas state Rep. Wes Virdell—were described as the first lawful unregistered transfers in 92 years. U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix did not issue a nationwide injunction, and the Justice Department reportedly will not appeal. The decision marks a major shift in the regulatory landscape for silencers and has been hailed by gun-rights advocates as a landmark Second Amendment victory.

Armed suspect arrested near Trump's LA golf club before fundraiser

Police arrested 38-year-old Jeanine John Taele near Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes after plainclothes agents spotted him taking photos and monitoring security ahead of a fundraiser. Investigators found a loaded pistol and extra ammunition, and later at his Downey home uncovered an illegally modified AR-style rifle, body armor, high-capacity magazines, and notebooks with concerning statements. The case has been referred to the district attorney and is under ongoing FBI, sheriff, and Secret Service scrutiny, but authorities say there is no credible threat, and the event at the golf course is proceeding as planned.

Spanberger Rewrites Virginia’s Post-Session Agenda with Late-Night Vetoes and Amendments

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger used a late-night bill-review deadline to sign hundreds of measures while vetoing or amending a wide swath of the Democrat-led General Assembly’s agenda, signaling a rare executive-legislative split. Her actions span health care, education, housing, energy, criminal justice reform, immigration, cannabis market timing, voting, labor, gaming, and more: she moved the cannabis start date to July 1, 2027, amended gun-restriction legislation and industry safeguards, vetoed several criminal justice reform bills, signed mental health training in schools and AI-use documentation in education, joined or adjusted voting data-sharing efforts (ERIC) and the National Popular Vote compact, rejoined the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, and shaped housing, labor, and immigration measures ahead of a reconvened session on April 22. Bills not signed, vetoed, or amended by Monday’s deadline will become law on July 1 under the Virginia Constitution.

Bail was denied and a hearing was tentatively scheduled for January 22.
