This episode of The Legal Brief, hosted by Adam Kraut, Esq., critically analyzes Senator Cory Booker's proposed Federal Firearms Licensing Act (S.2449).

It also proposes a ban on private firearm sales and imposes a burdensome, costly renewal process every five years, disproportionately affecting lower-income individuals.
