This ARFCOM News episode discusses the Supreme Court case Garland v. Cargill concerning 'bumpy boys' and ATF authority, Louisiana's new permitless carry law, proposed authoritarian bills in Washington, a lawsuit against Polymer 80, and the potential impact of sending US ammunition stockpiles to Ukraine. The content focuses on legal challenges and legislative actions affecting Second Amendment rights and firearm ownership.
The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled a ban on 'bumpy boys' unconstitutional, creating a three-way split among federal courts. This ruling, based on mechanical definitions, the rule of lenity, and Chevron deference, does not immediately legalize these items nationwide. Manufacturers and retailers are not selling them, and possession remains illegal in most states, with the ATF potentially prosecuting offenders. This legal development is seen as paving the way for a Supreme Court challenge, which could significantly impact the interpretation of the National Firearms Act and Congress's authority to tax machine guns.
