A recent ruling in Benson v. United States declared Washington D.C.'s ban on magazines holding more than 10 rounds unconstitutional, citing their common use and Second Amendment protection. This decision creates a circuit split with other appellate courts, significantly increasing the likelihood of Supreme Court review, particularly for the pending Duncan v. Bonta case challenging California's similar ban. The ruling emphasizes that arms in common use are protected and historical tradition does not support banning them.
This video details the Firearms Policy Coalition's (FPC) legal challenge against New Jersey's ban on Short Barreled Rifles (SBRs). The lawsuit leverages the Supreme Court's Bruen decision, arguing that SBRs are protected arms in common use with no historical tradition of being banned. New Jersey's defense relies on procedural delays and claims of immunity and lack of standing, rather than historical evidence.
This video provides an expert-level analysis of recent developments in NFA suppressor restrictions, focusing on the US v. Peterson case and its implications. The speaker, an authority on firearm law, details the Fifth Circuit's ruling, the DOJ's shifting positions, and the case's path to the Supreme Court. Key takeaways include the court's interpretation of the NFA as a 'shall-issue permit' and concerns about this precedent impacting other firearm regulations.
This video provides an expert breakdown of the Second Amendment Foundation's third lawsuit challenging the National Firearms Act (NFA). The lawsuit, Roberts v. ATF, argues that the NFA is unconstitutional on two fronts: Congress may lack the authority to enforce it, and even if it did, suppressors and short-barreled rifles (SBRs) are protected arms under the Bruen decision. The argument hinges on the NFA's original structure as a taxing measure, which has been undermined by recent legislative changes that eliminated the associated taxes.
The DOJ has filed an amicus brief challenging Massachusetts' handgun ban, arguing it violates the Second Amendment by restricting firearms in common use. The case, Granata v. Campbell, focuses on the state's 'approved firearms roster' which prevents sales of handguns not on the list, even if legal elsewhere. This intervention by the DOJ signals a federal stance against state-level bans on commonly owned firearms, citing Supreme Court precedents like Heller and Bruen.
