Videos tagged with AR-15 Bans

The Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) is publicly calling out President Trump's administration for its continued defense of federal gun control laws, specifically criticizing the Department of Justice (DOJ) for defending regulations like the National Firearms Act (NFA) and remaining silent on challenges to AR-15 bans. The FPC argues the DOJ should be dismantling unconstitutional laws rather than defending them, which they believe would lead to significant Second Amendment victories.

This video discusses a significant ruling by the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit concerning bans on AR-15s and large-capacity magazines in New Jersey. Host Mark Smith, a constitutional attorney and Second Amendment advocate, details how the court ordered a rehearing of these cases en banc, signaling potential support for Second Amendment rights. The discussion highlights the composition of the court and the potential impact on future legal challenges.

This video argues against AR-15 bans by framing them as "malum prohibitum" (wrong because it's prohibited) rather than "malum in se" (wrong in itself). It references a Harvard Law & Public Policy article by Mark W. Smith and a decision by Judge Benitez, suggesting that such bans are unconstitutional and hypocritical. The video touches on marijuana laws as another example of "malum prohibitum" and emphasizes understanding the "four boxes" of American liberty to defend rights.
