How Second Amendment Cases Are Fought Behind the Scenes

Most gun owners hear about major lawsuits like Duncan or Bruen — but almost nobody understands how outside organizations influence those cases behind the scenes.

Adam Kraut from the Second Amendment Foundation and attorney Costas Moros explain what amicus briefs actually are, why gun rights organizations file them, how judges use them, and why they can shape major Second Amendment rulings without directly being part of the lawsuit itself.

The conversation also breaks down legal strategy, judicial persuasion, and why coordinated litigation matters in long-term constitutional fights.

Hundreds of women from across the country gathered for one of the largest firearms training events in America — and the growth is impossible to ignore.

The conversation also explores how women-focused training environments are changing gun culture, why practical self-defense matters, and what surprised Dakota most about the event.

Bruen changed the rules, but many gun laws are still tied up in court years later.

Why? Delays. En banc reviews. And courts moving slower than the restrictions they allow to stay in place.

This breaks down the legal reality behind the Second Amendment fight.

Bruen was supposed to change everything for gun rights lawsuits. Years later, magazine bans, assault weapon bans, and carry restrictions are still tied up in court.

Adam Kraut from the Second Amendment Foundation and attorney Costas Moros explain why major Second Amendment cases move so slowly, how en banc review changes the legal battlefield, and whether anti-gun courts are intentionally delaying constitutional rulings while rights remain suspended.

The conversation also breaks down Duncan, Supreme Court “hardware cases,” Ninth Circuit frustration, and why restoring gun rights after decades of restrictions may take far longer than many gun owners expected.

Why are major Second Amendment cases still dragging through the courts after Bruen? Adam Kraut from the Second Amendment Foundation and attorney Costas Moros break down the real status of Duncan, assault weapon bans, sensitive places litigation, California’s handgun roster, and why Supreme Court “hardware cases” could reshape the future of gun rights nationwide.

The conversation also explores why lawsuits move so slowly, whether courts are deliberately delaying gun cases, the future of carry rights, DOJ and ATF policy changes, and why restoring constitutional rights is a long-term fight rather than an overnight victory.

Later in the show, Princess & the Pistol joins the conversation to discuss women’s concealed carry, safe holster options, and why more women are entering firearms training than ever before. The episode wraps with O-Sight discussing rechargeable red dot technology, affordable optics, and the future of pistol-mounted optics.

A homeowner in Kent, Washington confronted armed intruders during a pre-dawn home invasion, forcing the suspects to flee the scene. The conversation breaks down what happened, the decisions made under pressure, and the realities of defending yourself during a violent encounter inside the home.

The discussion examines timing, awareness, and why home invasions remain one of the clearest examples of why many people choose to exercise their right to self-defense. The segment also looks at the legal and practical considerations surrounding defensive gun use and how quickly situations can escalate during forced-entry crimes.

Curtain Call focuses on real-world incidents to analyze what can be learned from defensive encounters without sensationalizing violence or treating these events like entertainment.

The “Stop My Nephew” segment dives into one of the most collectible pistols in firearms history: the Singer 1911. Fewer than 500 were originally produced during World War II, and authentic examples now command enormous prices among collectors.

The conversation covers why Singer 1911s became legendary, how counterfeit versions flooded collector markets, and what details separate authentic pistols from reproductions. Serial number ranges, condition, rarity, and wartime manufacturing history all play a role in why these firearms remain some of the most sought-after collector pieces in the country.

The segment also explores how historic military firearms continue to hold value decades later and why collectors still obsess over original wartime examples.

Should local governments decide how you configure your carry gun?

The debate over CCW restrictions is growing, especially when counties start limiting things not found anywhere in state law, like red dots and firearm modifications.

If you qualify safely and shoot better with a setup, why should a local agency block it?
