William Kirk, President of Washington Gun Law TV, critically analyzes Senate Bill S. 3916, the 'Gun Owner Registration Information Protection Act' (GRIP Act). He argues that despite its name, the bill offers no genuine protection to gun owners and fails to address the ongoing violations of the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 (FOPA) by states and potentially the federal government. Kirk emphasizes that FOPA explicitly prohibits firearm registries, owner lists, and transaction records, yet these are frequently created, posing a threat of confiscation.

This video from Washington Gun Law explores West Virginia's SB 1071, a bill aiming to legalize machine gun sales by leveraging exemptions in federal law, specifically 18 U.S.C. 922(o).

The expert analysis highlights potential legal challenges, particularly concerning judicial interpretation of 'under the authority of the state' and citing precedent like United States v. Warner, which suggests state permission alone isn't sufficient for federal exemption.

ATF, argues that the NFA's constitutional basis, rooted in Congress's taxing power, has dissolved following recent legislation that zeroed out the $200 tax stamp on many NFA-regulated items. GOA contends that without taxation, the registration and transfer requirements are no longer justified and exceed Congress's enumerated powers, rendering the NFA unconstitutional for untaxed firearms.
