First off, this is not the place to discuss what guns & gun accessories you have, want, or think would be cool if they existed. Go to this thread for that: https://www.the-sietch.com/index.ph...-shooty-shooty-bang-bangs-the-gun-thread.603/
This thread is for discussing the many interesting legal cases and gun bills/laws sprouting up. To start with, we haveSaintJudge Benitez striking down California's ammo background check law:
The Ninth Circuit then decided to issue an emergency stay, killing ammo freedom in less than 2 days:
The Ninth Circuit heard oral arguments on California's magazine restrictions, which Judge Benitez managed to strike down for a week, resulting in a massive wave of Californians stockpiling mags like they were toilet paper in the COVID-19 pandemic:
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. City of New York, New York back in December, and still have not issued a ruling or an opinion on it. Depending on how the majority rules, this could seriously restrict gun control efforts across the country.
A bunch of states, including Virginia, have proposed or passed new gun restrictions, and a few Congressmen have proposed brand new "assault weapons" bans.
On a lighter note, Open Source Defense is putting out politically neutral articles for use in debating the topic, and include what seems like a fairly sensible way to reform the country's gun laws:

Common sense should mean mathematically informed compromise. You figure out what the juice actually is, and then the collective policy makers decide if the juice is worth the squeeze. If the federal government wanted to step in and lay out a mathematically correct compromise position that overrode state firearms laws, this is what that position should look like:
- Overturn all state prohibitions on magazine size, state-specific prohibitions on types of firearms and accessories owned, and state age restrictions on purchase. Federally bar “assault weapon” bans. Give everyone their AR-15s and their drum magazines back, even in California.
- Implement a national stand-your-ground law overriding state laws on appropriate firearm engagement.
- Allow states to choose among either may-issue or constitutional carry categories of firearm concealed carry law. Many shall-issue states today would probably go constitutional carry.
- Implement a universal background check system, by allowing peer-to-peer buyers to print their own NICS check to show to peer-to-peer sellers.
- Prohibit perpetrators of violent misdemeanors from passing the background check.
