This ARFCOM News episode discusses recent legal challenges and regulatory changes impacting firearm ownership and related accessories. Key topics include the ATF's ban on smoke and flashbang grenades, court rulings striking down ATF's frame or receiver rule for ghost guns, and a federal court decision deeming it unconstitutional to deny firearm rights based on a prior DUI conviction. The episode also touches on proposed legislation to earmark NFA tax stamp revenue for wildlife conservation and range improvements, and a judge's interpretation of waiting periods that limits the right to procure firearms.

A US District Court ruled that a lifetime ban on firearm ownership for a DUI conviction is unconstitutional under the Bruen decision. The court found that historical firearm regulations did not support such a broad, status-based prohibition for a non-violent misdemeanor. The government failed to demonstrate a sufficient historical analog to justify the ban.
