The Nebraska Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments regarding a lawsuit challenging Lincoln’s local firearm regulations, which the plaintiffs argue violate the state’s constitutional carry law.

Initially dismissed by a district court, the Lincoln lawsuit was revived when the state Supreme Court granted a bypass of the appeals process,…

The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled in favor of an ATF regulation treating unfinished firearm kits as fully functional firearms, affirming a 7-2 decision.

Legal experts note that while this outcome may appear detrimental to gun rights advocates, it does not preclude future constitutional challenges related to gun ownership. The decision allows some unfinished firearm kits to be regulated as firearms, demanding serialization and background checks,…

Deputy Police Chief Dennis Brown attributes the alarming number of arrests to many individuals being non-military personnel who may not be fully aware of the stringent federal laws prohibiting firearms on military installations.
