And the legal architecture protecting free expression on campus has never been stronger.

DOJ letting Texas gun ruling take effect leaves 2A activists hopeful and anxious

The Trump administration’s decision to let a Texas gun ruling take effect without an emergency appeal opened a limited path for people covered by the order to acquire suppressors and certain other firearms without the burdensome requirements of going through the National Firearms Act’s registration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives preapproval process.
