Idaho Attorney General Raul Labrador leads nation in fight against California’s newest gun ban
BOISE, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — Attorney General Raúl Labrador led a coalition of 27 states in filing an Amicus Curiae brief in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in support of the Second Amendment, asking the Court to affirm the lower court’s decision to enjoin California’s unconstitutional Assault Weapons Control Act (AWCA) in Miller v. Bonta.
For 34 years, the AWCA has deprived Californians of their Second Amendment rights through arbitrary and often cosmetic-based bans on the ownership, possession, sale, and transfer of hundreds of firearm types. These firearms were legal before the ban, and are still in lawful, common use across the nation. The Supreme Court’s decisions in Bruen and Heller have confirmed that every American has a pre-existing right to keep and bear arms, and the plain text of the Second Amendment protects weapons California bans.
The impact of California’s ACWA has also extended beyond its borders—unjustly impacting citizens and firearm businesses in Amici states and across the nation who are barred from exercising their rights to engage in lawful related commerce with California.”
For decades, California has failed its people in the state’s duty to protect—not infringe on—its citizens’ Constitutional right to keep and bear arms,” said Attorney General Labrador. “This is a fundamental liberty and right of the individual. It is not granted or tolerated by the whim or benevolence of the government, and it must be respected and defended at every turn. “Shall not be infringed” is some of the clearest language in our Constitution, and we look forward to seeing the AWCA overturned by the courts.”
The State coalition, led by Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador, Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird, and Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen was joined by Attorneys General from Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming, and the Arizona State Legislature.

Heavy rain impacting southwest Idaho Saturday night
After a windy Saturday, rain is beginning to overspread southwest Idaho. A cold front will march across southern Idaho late tonight into tomorrow morning, bringing heavy downpours around 9-10pm this evening in the Treasure Valley lasting through 3-4am Sunday morning. Rain will taper to scattered showers on Sunday with snow levels lowering to around 5000 feet. By Sunday evening, 0.25″-0.75″ of rainfall is expected for the lower valleys and 0.5″-1.5″ in the mountains.
A cool and blustery Sunday is ahead across Idaho as temperatures will drop by around 15-25°, placing highs in the 40s and 50s. While the wind won’t be as strong as it was on Saturday, a sustained breeze of 5-15mph will make it feel even cooler. Several inches of snowfall will accumulate above 6000 feet.
A secondary low pressure system moves inland on Monday, reinforcing the chance for showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures will remain cool through the first half of next week, followed by a significant warmup leading into next weekend as a high-pressure ridge strengthens over the West.

Original sketches and blueprints for iconic Boise buildings on display at Idaho State Archives
BOISE, Idaho — Hummel Architects donated a collection of over 4,000 individual items to the Idaho State Archives, many of which are plans for some of Boise’s most iconic buildings. An exhibit at the archives is now showcasing some of those original sketches, blueprints and building plans for the public to enjoy.
- Portions of the Hummel Collection are on display in an exhibit at the Idaho State Archives.
- Parts of the collection that are not on display can be requested for viewing in the archive’s reading room.
(Below is the transcript from the broadcast story)
“I think these are hand drawn… 1920, certainly,” says Angie Davis, the Collections-Outreach Archivist at the Idaho State Archives.
The team at the Idaho State Archives has a lot of work to do.
“But this is the to-do pile … very big,” says Davis.
Hummel Architects donated a collection of over 4,000 individual items to the archive, many of which are plans for some of Boise’s most iconic buildings.
“So these are the original drawings from the Egyptian theater,” Davis said.
Hummel Architects originally donated the plans for the Idaho state Capitol in March of 2023. Since then, they have decided to give the rest of their archive a new home.
“We spent the majority of the year last year between March and December moving the Hummel archive from their vault to our location,” Davis said. “It’s wonderful that they trusted us to take care of these and provide access to the material.”
She tells me that the collections at the archives can be easily seen by the public.
“Anytime somebody wants to request these, we will pull them,” Davis said. “We will make them available in the reading room and make sure that they’re safe.”
Davis says that collections like this can help people understand the history of Boise.
“After 128 years building some of the most iconic buildings in Boise and in Idaho, you’re going to find treasures, you’re going to to find them,” Davis said.
“One of my favorite parts about this collection is that they have been a working collection, so I imagine the architects on these projects shoving the roll plans under their arms and running around the site and now they’re safe,”Davis said. “They won’t be exposed to coffee rings.”
Portions of the collection are on display in their exhibit gallery, but the majority of the materials are kept safe in vaults, available to view upon request.
“Getting to engage with originals is not always something that everybody gets to do, so if you have the opportunity, come see it,” says Davis.
