A Federal Judge Hits at the Heart of DOJ's 2A Suits as it Files a New One in California

November 13th, 2026

Reload Founder Stephen Gutowski breaks down a new ruling against the Department of Justice's (DOJ) lawsuit over "gun-free" zones in Montgomery County, Maryland. He explains why that loss might lead to the undoing of the entire DOJ Second Amendment Section project. He also details the DOJ's new 2A suit against a California city that's charging upwards of $2,000 for a gun-carry permit.
