This video analyzes the legal implications of two cases, Harris and Harmony, concerning firearm possession by individuals who use cannabis. It argues that the Harris case, with its more benign facts (a stolen gun and admitted marijuana use), presents a stronger legal argument for challenging firearm prohibitions based on drug use compared to the Harmony case, which involves more unfavorable facts. The core legal question explored is under what circumstances individuals can be prohibited from owning firearms, with the speaker advocating for an individualized finding of dangerousness.

This video explains the stringent firearms laws in China, where civilian ownership of firearms is entirely prohibited. Possession is restricted to state-authorized armed forces and security personnel.

While self-defense with lethal force is permitted if proportional, the lack of legal firearm ownership means individuals must rely on less lethal means.

United States, which is before the Supreme Court and addresses the constitutionality of 18 U.S. Code Section 922 G3, prohibiting firearm possession by unlawful drug users.

This video discusses the potential consequences of widespread gun confiscation, using an incident in England where a farmer was arrested for possessing a sickle and a scythe as an example.

This video details significant changes to Michigan's firearm laws enacted in 2023 and set to take effect in 2024. Key updates include a new safe storage law requiring firearms to be locked when minors are present, expanded universal background checks for all firearm purchases, and the implementation of red flag laws (Extreme Risk Protection Orders).

This video discusses the Seventh Circuit's ruling in Vermont v. Cook County, which upheld the Cook County assault weapon ban. The court's decision hinged on the plaintiffs' failure to establish an adequate record demonstrating that the banned firearms are in common use for self-defense, a standard the court has previously applied in similar cases like Beas v. City of Naperville. The speaker criticizes this interpretation of the 'common use' test as a 'bastardized' legal standard that makes it virtually impossible for plaintiffs to succeed.
