This video argues that federal background checks (Form 4473) are ineffective at preventing crime and primarily inconvenience law-abiding citizens. The speaker contends that a high percentage of 'false catches' occur, and criminals obtain firearms through illicit channels, often cheaper than legal purchases. The video suggests background checks may facilitate a backdoor gun registry and government control over firearm ownership.

This video analyzes the Department of Justice's arguments before the Supreme Court in the Vanderstock case, challenging the ATF's expanded definition of 'firearm' to include parts that can be readily converted. The speaker critiques the DOJ's claims of a 'public safety crisis' and an 'explosion' of ghost gun crimes, presenting data from the DOJ's own submissions to argue these claims are statistically negligible. The analysis suggests the ATF's regulation aims to create a national gun registry and owner registry, which the speaker believes is an overreach beyond Congressional authority.

This video analyzes recent ATF proposed rules and actions concerning firearms. It details the ATF's efforts to regulate 'ghost guns' by redefining what constitutes a firearm and weapon parts kit. Additionally, it scrutinizes a proposed rule change for the definition of 'engaged in the business as a dealer in firearms,' which shifts from numerical thresholds to a more subjective, intent-based evaluation, potentially requiring FFL licenses for a wider range of transactions.

This video discusses an ATF rule, effective May 20th, requiring individuals engaged in private firearm sales to obtain a Federal Firearms License (FFL). The speaker highlights efforts by some Republican legislators to overturn this rule via a Joint Resolution of Disapproval, citing concerns about government overreach and infringement on Second Amendment rights. The effectiveness of this resolution is questioned due to the likely presidential veto.

This video from Washington Gun Law TV, hosted by William Kirk, discusses ATF Rule 2022R-07, which redefines what it means to be 'engaged in the business' of being a firearms dealer. The rule is set to take effect on Monday, May 20th, and a lawsuit, Texas v ATF, is challenging it. The video highlights the urgency of a potential preliminary injunction, which could delay the rule's implementation, and advises individuals who privately deal in firearms to be aware of the legal implications.

This entry details a significant legal victory for Kilo Tactical LLC against the Biden Administration's ATF in Florida.

Expert analysis from constitutional attorney Mark Smith emphasizes the importance of legal preparedness for Second Amendment advocates.

The video argues that the Form 4473, not FFL licensing, is the primary infringement on Second Amendment rights. The speaker contends that background checks are ineffective against criminals, who often acquire firearms through theft or private sales. Furthermore, the Form 4473 is seen as a de facto registry, creating a paper trail of legal gun owners that could be exploited.

This video discusses ATF Rule 2022R-17, which could require millions of Americans to obtain FFL licenses for participating in common firearm hobbies. Unlike many other ATF rules lacking legal basis, this one is reportedly supported by the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.

It provides links to the federal register for submitting comments and reading the proposed rule, along with contact information for Washington Gun Law and their social media channels.

This video breaks down a new proposed ATF rule (2022 R-17) that aims to redefine what it means to be 'engaged in the business' of dealing firearms.

This could significantly impact private party firearm sales nationwide, potentially requiring FFL licenses for transactions previously considered personal or casual.

Becoming a professional gunsmith requires more than just a passion for firearms; it demands strong business skills, an understanding of legal and financial obligations, and continuous learning.

This video details California's proposed bill AB 2156, which aims to ban the home building of firearms and the 3D printing of firearm components. The bill would require individuals manufacturing more than three firearms annually to obtain both federal and state licenses, significantly restricting private firearm manufacturing. It also specifically prohibits the use of 3D printers for manufacturing firearm frames, receivers, precursor parts, or magazines without a license.
