This is shaping up to be a banner day for Second Amendment advocates. On Thursday morning, the Supreme Court drove a stake through the heart of Hawaii's "vampire rule" banning concealed carry by default on all private property accessible to the public. And on Thursday afternoon, Second Amendment advocates secured an injunction that will hopefully stop Virginia's ban on "assault firearms" and "large capacity" magazines from taking effect next Wednesday.


This is tremendous news, and I hope the injunction sticks. You can guarantee, though, that Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones will swiftly appeal today's verdict in the hopes that the Virginia Court of Appeals or the state Supreme Court will block the judge's order from taking effect and allow the law banning the sale, manufacture, and transfer of many commonly owned arms to be enforced on July 1.

AWR Hawkins 28 Jun 2026

The number of sheriffs and commonwealth attorneys who are taking a stand against the Democrats’ AR-15 has grown so that now 12 sheriffs and 17 prosecutors have made clear they will not enforce it.

On May 25, 2026, Breitbart News reported that Spotsylvania commonwealth attorney Ryan Mehaffey had made clear he would not enforce the ban. Days later, Breitbart News pointed to a WAVY 10 article which observed that the number of prosecutors refusing to enforce the ban was continuing to grow.

On May 30, 2026, Breitbart News noted that Clarke County Sheriff Travis Sumption making clear his office would not enforce the state’s “assault weapons” ban nor the “expanded public-carry restrictions.”

Now, Virginia Citizens Defense League president Philip Van Cleave has released a list showing the number of prosecutors refusing to enforce the ban has reached 17 and the number of sheriffs is at 12.

Quote:
The Justice Department filed a lawsuit today against the Commonwealth of Virginia and the Virginia State Police alleging that a newly enacted Virginia law unconstitutionally bans the purchase and sale of ordinary semi-automatic rifles owned by millions of Americans.

“The Constitution is not a suggestion, and the Second Amendment is not a second-class right,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “This Justice Department has done more to protect the Second Amendment than any administration in our nation’s history, and we will continue to do so whenever necessary.”
