This video provides an expert analysis from Washington Gun Law regarding Sig Sauer's lawsuit against the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission (WSCJTC). The WSCJTC issued a permanent ban on the Sig Sauer P320, M17, and M18 firearms at its training facilities following an unintentional discharge incident. Sig Sauer argues the ban is unlawful, exceeds the WSCJTC's authority, violates state preemption laws, and negatively impacts law enforcement training and operations. The analysis details Sig Sauer's legal claims, including improper rulemaking and lack of administrative exhaustion, and discusses potential outcomes, likening the situation to the Ford Pinto crisis for Sig Sauer if a product defect is proven.

A Supreme Court ruling has significantly curtailed the ATF's ability to enact regulations through interpretation rather than congressional action. By dismantling the Chevron deference doctrine, courts are now required to interpret laws themselves, rather than deferring to agency interpretations. This shift empowers gun owners by demanding clearer statutory backing for ATF rules, impacting regulations on items like bump stocks, pistol braces, and forced reset triggers.

This video explains how a recent Supreme Court ruling, specifically the Loper Bright case, has effectively overturned the Chevron doctrine. This doctrine, established in 1984, allowed federal agencies like the ATF to interpret vague laws and create their own regulations.
