Second Amendment decisions from the covered states, their
federal circuits and the Supreme Court — challenges to gun laws first · data from
CourtListener
· updated November 7, 2026
A daily news aggregator covering Second Amendment and gun rights news across eight Midwest states: MN, WI, ND, SD, IA, MI, IN & IL.
Stories are sourced from Google News RSS and direct feeds, filtered for relevance, and published automatically every day.
Run by Brad Bohlmann, Certified Carry Permit Instructor — Duluth, MN.
How It Works
Stories are fetched daily from 35+ RSS queries across Google News and direct feeds
Paywalled articles link to the Wayback Machine when an archived copy is available
Multiple outlets covering the same event are grouped into cluster cards (shown as “N outlets”)
Major outlets are tagged with a media-bias rating (Left / Lean Left / Center / Lean Right / Right) — the same five-point scale used by Ground News, AllSides, and Media Bias/Fact Check. Ratings reflect the public consensus across those trackers, not scraped from any one of them. Local TV stations, government sites, and gun-policy advocacy groups (on either side) are intentionally left unrated rather than guessed
Use the filters at the top to narrow by year, state, lean, or topic — or just search
Cases to Watch tracks Second Amendment decisions from the covered states’ supreme and appellate courts, the federal circuits that contain them (6th, 7th & 8th), and the U.S. Supreme Court — sourced from CourtListener. Searched by constitutional phrase rather than the word “firearm”, so it surfaces cases about the right rather than every case where a gun was present
Bills to Watch tracks actual firearm legislation moving in all eight state legislatures — bill number, latest action, and sponsor — sourced from OpenStates, not from headlines. Only bills with activity in the last ~13 months are shown, most recently active first, so states currently in session lead
What’s New
UpdateNews stories now lead the page, with Bills to Watch and Cases to Watch below them — the headlines you came for are the first thing you see
New⚖️ Cases to Watch — alongside the bills, the site now tracks Second Amendment court decisions from the eight states’ courts, the 6th/7th/8th Circuits and the Supreme Court. Legislation tells you what lawmakers are attempting; this tells you what the courts are doing with it
New📋 Bills to Watch — the top of the page now tracks real firearm bills straight from the legislatures of all eight covered states (bill number, latest action, sponsor), so you can follow legislation before it becomes a headline
UpdateStory grouping now only clusters stories from the last 10 days — so an “N outlets” card always reflects an event currently in the news, not a month-old topic revived by a single new article
FixedStory grouping is back — multiple outlets covering the same event are once again collapsed into a single “N outlets” cluster card instead of each getting its own row
NewMedia-bias badges — major outlets now show a Left / Lean Left / Center / Lean Right / Right rating next to their name, with matching filter buttons
New🇺🇸 National filter — SCOTUS rulings, federal court decisions, and presidential executive orders are now tagged separately so they don’t crowd out state news
NewSupreme Court and federal court rulings are now included — no state keyword required since they apply nationally
NewExecutive orders and presidential gun actions are now covered
UpdateCoverage expanded to Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois in addition to MN, WI, ND, SD & IA
