This video discusses a First Circuit Court of Appeals case challenging Maine's 72-hour mandatory waiting period for firearm purchases. The court is examining the constitutionality of such delays in light of the Supreme Court's Bruen decision, which requires modern gun laws to be consistent with historical traditions of firearm regulation. The speaker argues that these waiting periods infringe upon Second Amendment rights without historical precedent and disproportionately affect law-abiding citizens.

Millions of Americans in Tennessee are currently blocked from purchasing firearms due to a system outage affecting the state's dual background check process. This video highlights how Tennessee, despite its pro-Second Amendment stance, requires both a federal NICS check and a state-level background check, leading to delays and potential firearm purchase denials when either system fails. The speaker criticizes this 'double-checking' as an infringement on Second Amendment rights and a means of increased government control.

Millions of Americans in Tennessee are currently blocked from purchasing firearms due to a system outage affecting the state's dual background check process.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has overturned California's 1 in 30-day firearm law in the New York v. Bruen case.

This video provides an expert analysis of the 'Nguyen v Bonta' case challenging California's 1-in-30 firearms purchase law before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The discussion, led by an experienced commentator familiar with firearms law, delves into the legal arguments concerning the Second Amendment, the historical context required by the Bruen decision, and the state's justifications for the delay. Key points include the nature of acquisition rights, the plurality of 'arms,' and the impact of exemptions on the law's purported public safety goals.

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that expanded background checks for 18-20 year olds under the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act do not violate the Second Amendment. The court based its decision on Supreme Court dicta in Heller and Bruin, stating that background checks associated with permitting regimes are generally constitutional. The ruling indicates that a 10-day delay for background checks does not constitute an abusive end or a de facto prohibition on possession.

The ATF and FBI are implementing mandatory waiting periods for firearm purchases by 18-20 year olds nationwide, stemming from the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. This enhanced background check process, effective November 14, 2022, allows for up to a 10-day delay to investigate juvenile adjudications or mental health prohibitions. The speaker criticizes this as de facto gun control and executive overreach.

This video explains how a NICS denial or delay in firearm purchases can now lead to a visit from local law enforcement, effective October 1, 2022. This change, mandated by the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022, requires the ATF to report all denied or delayed NICS transactions to local police within 24 hours. Washington state residents are less affected due to existing state laws, but the federal change significantly impacts FFLs and buyers nationwide.
