Rhode Island's original 2025 assault weapons ban, set to take effect July 1, 2026, prohibited the manufacture, sale, or transfer of certain semi-automatic rifles and shotguns. However, it allowed lawful owners to possess these firearms. A new bill, S2710, introduced in February, seeks to amend the original law by adding 'possession' to the prohibited list, effectively banning possession after the July 1, 2026, deadline. This amendment would require owners to sell affected firearms to federally licensed dealers or out-of-state individuals by the end of 2026.

This video provides an authoritative analysis of New Mexico's SB 17, a significant gun ban bill. The speaker, demonstrating experienced authority, details the bill's broad impact on semi-automatic rifles, standard capacity magazines, and specific calibers.

This video features constitutional attorney Mark W. Smith, a finalist for the 2024 Gundies Awards, analyzing how recent publications by anti-gun sources inadvertently support Second Amendment protections for standard-capacity magazines. Smith argues that massive production figures, cited by outlets like The Trace and Rolling Stone, demonstrate that magazines holding 11+ and 30+ rounds are in 'common use,' a key legal standard established by the Supreme Court in Heller and Bruen, making them protected arms. The data is presented as crucial evidence for future legal challenges against magazine capacity bans.

This video reviews the Ruger American .308 rifle upgraded with a Magpul chassis stock. The reviewer discusses a previous bolt issue resolved by Ruger and highlights the benefits of the chassis, including improved rigidity, compatibility with detachable box magazines, and enhanced shooting ergonomics. Accuracy tests at 25 and 50 yards are presented with both steel and brass-cased ammunition, along with observations on recoil and the rifle's overall performance after the modifications.

The video discusses how new state laws, particularly in Colorado and California, are making certain semi-automatic handguns with detachable magazines increasingly difficult to purchase. Manufacturers are discontinuing compliance models, leading to scarcity in affected states. The speaker emphasizes that these laws are enacted at the state and local levels, even when federal sentiment might seem more favorable to Second Amendment rights.

This video analyzes arguments made by Giffords in the Barnett v. Raul case, challenging the 'common use' test for Second Amendment protections. It highlights how Giffords attempts to redefine 'common use' and 'self-defense' to justify bans on firearms with features like pistol grips, forward grips, and detachable magazines, arguing they are 'weapons of war' and not suitable for self-defense.

This video discusses the impact of state-level anti-Second Amendment legislation, particularly in Colorado and California, on the availability of semi-automatic handguns with detachable magazines. Manufacturers are discontinuing certain models in response to these laws, leading to scarcity in affected states. The speaker emphasizes that despite a pro-Second Amendment president, state and local efforts are increasing restrictions.

This video discusses the impact of new state-level anti-Second Amendment legislation, particularly in Colorado and California, on the availability of semi-automatic handguns with detachable magazines. Manufacturers are ceasing production for compliance, leading to scarcity in affected states. The speaker emphasizes the importance of local and midterm elections for preserving Second Amendment rights.

This video details the passage of significant firearms restrictions in Hawaii, stemming from SB893 which was expanded into SB401. The new legislation effectively bans most semi-automatic firearms, shotguns, and 'assault pistols' that accept detachable magazines, drawing parallels to the 1994-2004 federal assault weapons ban. The speaker highlights the rapid expansion of the bill's scope and word count, and discusses the stringent requirements for firearm ownership in Hawaii, including permits for handguns, waiting periods, and registration for most firearms.

This video provides an expert analysis from Colion Noir on Colorado's new gun law (SB24-066 / HB24-1292), which mandates a 12-hour safety course and background checks for semi-automatic firearms with detachable magazines. Noir argues this law acts as a de facto ban, creating significant barriers for law-abiding citizens and potentially infringing on Second Amendment rights, while also drawing parallels to similar restrictive laws in New York and California.

This video discusses Colorado Senate Bill 3, which initially proposed a ban on semi-automatic rifles but evolved into a complex permitting scheme and potential gun registry. The bill requires buyers to obtain an eligibility card through a rigorous application process, including additional background checks and mandatory training courses with a 90% passing score. The speaker, William Kirk of Washington Gun Law, argues this infringes upon Second Amendment rights and urges citizens to contact Governor Jared Polis to veto the bill before its potential August 1st, 2026 effective date.

This video discusses proposed amendments to Colorado's assault weapons ban, specifically focusing on SB003. The proposed legislation would require permits for all semi-automatic firearms with detachable magazines, moving the permitting process to Parks and Wildlife. The speaker highlights concerns about the 'may issue' nature of the permit, potential for revocation, and lack of appeals, suggesting it's designed to be challenged in court. A rally at the Colorado State Capital is announced to protest these measures.
