Atrius Development Group Issues Call to Industry

Friday, January 30th, 2026

We received this statement from Atrius Development Group:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — STATEMENT ON RARE BREED PATENT ALLEGATIONS

January 30, 2026

Atrius Development Group issues the following statement to its distributors and retail partners regarding the frivolous patent assertions made by Rare Breed against the Second Amendment community.

Prior to bringing the Atrius products to market, Atrius has opinions from numerous large patent law firms that Atrius products do not infringe on any existing patents.

“Atrius Development Group stands behind its products and will support our distribution and retail partners whose Second Amendment rights are being violated via patent litigation by Rare Breed,” said Ryan Spadafore, CEO of Atrius Development Group.

“The false and frivolous Rare Breed claims have been evaluated and will be addressed directly in the appropriate forum. We believe the bullying tactics of Rare Breed are dishonorable and an insult to the Second Amendment community.”

Rare Breed has made allegations concerning our Atrius products and has chosen the cowardly action of opening/threatening litigation against those in our dealer network in an attempt to destabilize what the Super Safety Community has built in the wake of Rare Breed bending the knee to the ATF. They prefer to feed their greed and use unethical lawfare against individuals like Tim Hoffman, of Hoffman Tactical, all while claiming benevolence and altruism.

Atrius Development Group is the backstop to these actions.

Atrius Development Group encourages any distributor or retailer in receipt of frivolous claims from Rare Breed relating to Atrius products to promptly notify Atrius leadership so the company can coordinate an appropriate response and provide immediate support. Atrius remains confident in its legal position and in the continued supply and availability of its products. We will continue to fight for the expanded access of parts and accessories that advance the Second Amendment, no matter what forces stand in our way.

More power to the Dealers. Together we win.

Stay Blessed,

TEAM ATRIUS

XTech Tactical Stands Firm: Continued Support for California Patriots Amid New Regulations

Sunday, January 18th, 2026

Gilbert, AZ – January 10, 2026 – XTech Tactical, a leading innovator in firearm accessories, today announced its unwavering commitment to supporting gun owners in California despite the implementation of Assembly Bill 1263 (AB 1263), which came into effect January 1, 2026.

AB 1263 introduces unconstitutional requirements for onlinesellers of firearm parts and accessories, mandating identity confirmation, a signed acknowledgment provided by the state prior to shipping, and adult signatures for all deliveries. In response to these new mandates, many manufacturers and smaller retailers have opted to cease shipments to California entirely. However, XTech Tactical refuses to abandon its support for gun owners in California.

The company has long prioritized supporting its neighbors in California through innovative products, competitive pricing, and solutions designed to navigate unconstitutional laws imposed by those seeking to undermine the foundations of our great nation. “We view halting shipments to California as a surrender signal to anti-constitutional lawmakers, emboldening similar restrictions in other states,” said Jeremy Deadman, Co-Founder of XTech Tactical. “As a company, we will not contribute to that narrative. Instead, we choose to stand with our customers and continue providing the high-quality accessories they rely ondespite the costs placed on us.”

XTech Tactical remains resolute in its belief that continued support with shipments to California, rather than withdrawal, is the path forward for preserving Second Amendment rightsnationally.

To accommodate the additional costs of these shipmentsimposed by AB 1263, XTech Tactical is implementing a new California-specific shipping policy that increases the shipping cost of the first item ordered from $5 to $15. In a further show of support, the company will offer free shipping on all orders over $100 destined for California addresses. Further, the company is adding 10 products that are legal to ship to California in the first quarter of 2026, making that $100 mark easier to hit.

Current Top Sellers to California Include:

MTX 365 +0 – Grip Extension for P365 Standard Frame

MAG19-10 – upgraded over OEM magazines for Glock 19

MAG17-10 – upgraded over OEM magazines for Glock 17

MAG26-10 – upgraded over OEM magazines for Glock 26

MAG47 10/30 Series –Strongest and most compatible US made AK magazines

Additionally, the company has further enhanced its dealer program to FFL’s in the state to make its products even more accessible.

XTech Tactical encourages California residents to visit www.xtechtactical.com for more details on compliant ordering processes and to explore its full range of products.

SIG SAUER Responds to New Jersey Attorney General’s Latest Attack on Firearms Industry

Friday, October 17th, 2025

NEWINGTON, N.H., (October 17, 2025) – New Jersey Attorney General Platkin (D) filed a complaint against SIG SAUER, making numerous false and unsubstantiated claims about the P320. This false information requires immediate clarification and remedy.

AG Platkin’s assertion that the Modular Handgun System (MHS) program would not accept SIG SAUER’s submission because testing by the U.S. Army deemed it “unsafe” without a manual safety is outright false. The MHS program solicitation required all firearm manufacturers’ bids include pistols with manual safeties. The Government assured all bidders it would discontinue testing and eliminate a competitor from further consideration if the testing process uncovered any safety issue. SIG SAUER was not eliminated from the competition, but in fact was awarded the contract for the military’s official sidearm.

The Attorney General’s office further stated that an FBI Ballistics Research Facility report claimed one of the safety mechanisms of the P320 can be disabled without any pressure on the trigger. This is also false. SIG SAUER engineers worked directly with the FBI and the Michigan State Police, who commissioned the report, to conduct a comprehensive battery of follow-on tests. The tests resulted in zero failures and today the Michigan State Police confidently issue their officers P320 pistols.

Contrary to the baseless allegations, SIG SAUER has always and will continue to put the safety and security of the US Military, the law enforcement community, consumers, and the public first. AG Platkin’s statement that the P320 can fire uncommanded is also incorrect. To date, nearly twenty (20) P320 lawsuits have been dismissed. Despite years of litigation, plaintiffs’ “experts” have been repeatedly excluded from testifying after being unable to re-create a P320 discharge without a trigger pull. SIG SAUER intends to seek dismissal of AG Platkin’s baseless complaint.

The P320 pistol is one of the safest, most advanced pistols in the world. It meets and exceeds all industry safety standards. Its design has been thoroughly tested and validated by the U.S. Military and law enforcement agencies at the federal, state and local levels, along with several major global militaries. Since its development in 2014, the P320 has undergone more testing and technical review than virtually any other pistol in history.

ASA Files Lawsuit Challenging the Constitutionality of the National Firearms Act

Sunday, October 12th, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, The American Suppressor Association (ASA), National Rifle Association (NRA), Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), and Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced the filing of a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA). The case, Jensen v. ATF, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.

This complaint asserts that, with the removal of the excise tax on constitutionally protected arms like suppressors and short-barreled rifles, the NFA registration regime can no longer be upheld as a legal exercise of Congress’s taxing power.

The lawsuit also contends that the NFA registry on protected arms constitutes a violation of the Second Amendment. The Supreme Court has ruled that all firearms regulations must be consistent with our nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation. According to the plaintiffs, there is no such tradition that supports the NFA’s registration regime.

“Since 1934, the NFA has imposed unconstitutional restrictions on law-abiding Texans and Americans,” said Knox Williams, President and Executive Director of the American Suppressor Association. “Now that the excise tax on suppressors and short-barreled rifles has been removed, the registration regime is unlawful. ASA is fighting to uphold the Second Amendment rights of all Americans, and we will not stop until suppressors and other lawful firearms and accessories are no longer subject to unconstitutional regulations or registration requirements.”

The plaintiffs in the case include the Texas State Rifle Association, FPC Action Foundation, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, Hot Shots Custom LLC, and three individuals.

ASA & Second Amendment Coalition Call Out Big Banks for Whitewashing History of Discriminatory Debanking

Sunday, September 28th, 2025

ASA & Second Amendment Coalition Call Out Big Banks for Whitewashing History of Discriminatory DebankingWASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the American Suppressor Association (ASA) led a coalition of major Second Amendment groups in a letter to prominent American financial institutions demanding a public repudiation of their political debanking practices. The coalition, which includes the National Rifle Association (NRA), Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), Gun Owners of America (GOA), the National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR), and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA), represents the unified voice of the Second Amendment community and millions of law-abiding gun owners across the United States.

The letter makes clear that the gun industry has “faced relentless attacks and discriminatory treatment for decades,” noting how companies have been “shut out of mainstream financial institutions, including by your banks and those you represent.” These attacks on gun manufacturers, retailers, and aligned organizations have been a “brazen and ideologically driven campaign to undermine the constitutionally protected right of all Americans to keep and bear arms.”

The letter specifically calls out JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan for their record of restricting services to businesses and organizations in the firearms industry. The letter calls out recent attempts by these banks to shift blame onto Obama- and Biden-era regulators, noting that some of the banks most restrictive policies came when neither were in office. Their blame shifting follows the Trump administration’s strong executive order to prevent this behavior in the future. The letter concludes:

“President Donald J. Trump and his administration have taken decisive action to undo the decades-long erosion of Americans’ Second Amendment rights. Through amicus briefs in Barnett v. Raoul and Peterson, as well as the most pro-Second Amendment executive order in our nation’s history signed by President Trump in February, it is clear that protecting the tens of millions of firearms owners across the country is a top priority for him.”

“An equal application of rules and standards across industries is critical for fairness and ensuring the rights of law-abiding gun owners are not infringed.”

ASA and Leading 2A Groups File Lawsuit Challenging the Constitutionality of the NFA

Thursday, August 7th, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Friday, August 1st, the American Suppressor Association (ASA), National Rifle Association (NRA), Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), Prime Protection STL Tactical Boutique, and two members of the organizations filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA). The complaint, Brown v. Bondi, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri.

Until President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the NFA established a $200 tax and tax-enforcement registration regime on certain classes of firearms, including suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and NFA-defined “any other weapons.” With the elimination of this excise tax in the OBBB, the joint complaint alleges that the NFA registration regime is no longer justifiable as an exercise of Congress’s taxing power, nor any other Article I power.

The lawsuit also asserts that the NFA’s registration regime for suppressors and short-barreled rifles violates the Second Amendment. The Supreme Court has established that any regulation on arms-bearing conduct must be consistent with our nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation. The complaint argues there is no tradition that supports the NFA’s registration regime for protected arms such as suppressors and short-barreled rifles.

Click here to read the lawsuit.

“The National Firearms Act has been a weight around the neck of law-abiding gun owners for nearly a century,” said Knox Williams, President and Executive Director American Suppressor Association. “With the elimination of the excise tax on suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and AOWs through the One Big Beautiful Bill, our lawsuit challenges the NFA as an unconstitutional registry of now untaxed firearms. Common sense and the law are on our side, and we look forward to fighting on behalf of all Americans in Federal Court.”

“The National Firearms Act has infringed on law-abiding Americans’ right to keep and bear arms for nearly a century,” said John Commerford, Executive Director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action. “Congress took a major step by eliminating the NFA tax on suppressors and short-barreled firearms through the OBBB, and we’re proud to work alongside other leading Second Amendment organizations to finish the job.”

“The National Firearms Act’s registration scheme only exists to ensure that the tax on NFA firearms was paid,” said Adam Kraut, SAF’s Executive Director. “With Congress removing the tax on silencers, short-barreled firearms, and ‘any other weapons,’ the continued inclusion of these items in the NFA serves no purpose, except continuing to retain an impermissible hurdle to the exercise of one’s constitutional right to keep and bear arms. We look forward to relegating this unconstitutional law to the history books.”

“The National Firearms Act isn’t just unconstitutional, it’s a tyrannical abomination,” said Firearms Policy Coalition President Brandon Combs. “Not only does the NFA violate your Second Amendment rights, but Congress never had the lawful authority to pass it in the first place. That makes it a double abuse of power, violating both the right to keep and bear arms and the hard limits the Constitution places on the federal government. We’re proud to fight alongside our allies to end this corrupt, immoral law so peaceable Americans can exercise their rights when, where, and how they choose.”
