This video details the U.S. v. Chief Brad Wendt case, where Palmetto State Armory filed an amicus brief supporting the former Iowa Police Chief. The case challenges the ATF's expansive interpretation of the 1986 Machine Gun Ban, arguing that unelected bureaucrats cannot unilaterally expand criminal law beyond congressional intent. The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed Wendt's conviction, affirming that the statute, as applied, failed constitutional scrutiny and that the ATF must pursue legislative changes through Congress, not enforcement actions.
