The speaker expresses concern over Pam Bondi's DOJ seemingly defending the NFA, contrasting it with the Trump administration's pro-2A claims.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of the major lawsuit filed against the National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934, specifically Jensen v. ATF. The lawsuit, supported by prominent firearms advocacy groups like the Firearms Policy Coalition and Second Amendment Foundation, argues that the NFA's constitutional basis is no longer valid, particularly concerning suppressors and Short-Barreled Rifles (SBRs).

The potential impact of this case could lead to the dismantling of federal registration requirements for these firearms.

The video emphasizes the potential for this strategy to set a dangerous precedent, effectively denying justice to millions of affected Americans and discouraging future legal challenges.

A federal lawsuit has been filed against Massachusetts officials concerning the state's licensing scheme for non-residents seeking to carry firearms. The lawsuit argues that the current system, which imposes significantly shorter permit durations and lengthy, in-person renewal processes for non-residents compared to residents, violates the Second and Fourteenth Amendments. Plaintiffs seek to compel Massachusetts to comply with its own laws regarding processing times and allow remote renewals, potentially setting a national precedent for non-resident carry rights.
