🔥 Weekly Second Amendment Legal Update – May 26 to June 1, 2025

By The Rights Firm – Tennessee Gun Rights Restoration Attorneys

At The Rights Firm, we help Tennesseans restore their Second Amendment rights. Staying informed on national legal developments gives us the edge when advocating for your rights—and ensures our strategies reflect the current legal climate.

Here’s what happened this past week across the country.

🔧 DOJ Ends Federal Ban on Forced-Reset Triggers

In a significant shift, the U.S. Department of Justice has reached a settlement with Rare Breed Triggers. These forced-reset devices, which speed up semi-automatic fire rates, were previously treated as illegal under machine gun classification laws.

Under the settlement:

• Seized devices will be returned to owners
• Rare Breed agrees not to manufacture similar products for handguns

This development could influence how firearm accessories are regulated—and challenged—in future cases.

⚖️ Georgia High Court Upholds Age-Based Handgun Carry Limit

The Georgia Supreme Court upheld a state law preventing most adults under age 21 from carrying handguns in public.

The court ruled that the restriction doesn’t violate the Second Amendment or the Georgia Constitution. While not binding in Tennessee, the case illustrates how states are navigating age-related gun laws in the post-Bruen legal environment.

🔒 Washington Supreme Court Backs Magazine Ban

In a 7–2 decision, the Washington Supreme Court upheld the state’s ban on high-capacity magazines (over 10 rounds). The court concluded such magazines are not “arms” protected by the Second Amendment.

This decision could bolster other states defending similar bans—and set up potential Supreme Court review in the future.

🛡️ DOJ Launches Pro-Second Amendment Task Force

U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi has created a Second Amendment Task Force aimed at countering federal and state overreach that could infringe on gun owners’ rights.

This move signals a more aggressive federal defense of Second Amendment protections and may directly support litigation against restrictive gun laws in coming months.

📍 Why This Matters for Tennessee Residents

None of these rulings arose in Tennessee—but each could influence how future cases are argued here. If you’ve lost your right to own or carry a firearm due to a past conviction, you may be eligible to restore those rights under Tennessee law.

Our firm focuses exclusively on helping good people take back their constitutional freedoms.
