This video discusses the Gun Owners of America's (GOA) stance on the ATF's firearm transaction record retention policies. GOA advocates for the complete deletion of the ATF's gun registry, arguing that permanent record retention and the existence of out-of-business records facilitate a de facto gun registry, which they believe infringes on Second Amendment rights. The video highlights the potential for a Trump administration rule to reverse the Biden-era mandate for permanent record keeping by gun dealers and urges for a zero-year retention period for ATF-maintained records.

This video provides an expert analysis from William Kirk, President of Washington Gun Law TV, on the proposed Senate Bill S. 3916, also known as the GRIP Act.

The analysis delves into the specifics of FOPA, particularly 18 U.S.C. § 926(a)(3), and highlights how the GRIP Act's language is insufficient to prevent states from creating firearm registries, which Kirk views as a precursor to confiscation.

This video breaks down a significant lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Justice against Washington D.C. concerning firearm registration laws. The DOJ argues that D.C.'s registration process effectively acts as a ban on firearms considered 'in common use,' such as the AR-15, violating Second Amendment rights established in Heller and Bruen. The lawsuit utilizes the Federal Police Pattern or Practice Law, a civil rights tool, to compel changes in D.C.'s firearm code.

This video from Guns & Gadgets discusses President Trump's withdrawal of the U.S. from the United Nations Register of Conventional Arms (UNROCA). The speaker, an established commentator on Second Amendment news, argues this move protects U.S. sovereignty and prevents international bodies from influencing domestic firearms policy, which is viewed as a constitutionally protected right, not subject to global consensus or 'best practices.' The withdrawal is framed as a defense against international efforts that could lead to gun registration and confiscation.

This video from Guns & Gadgets critically analyzes the proposed Federal Firearm Licensing Act, presented as a potential national gun registry in disguise.

The analysis highlights concerns about federal overreach and the transformation of a right into a government-controlled privilege.

This entry details a significant legal challenge to the National Firearms Act (NFA) registration requirements. Congressman Andrew Clyde and other members of Congress have formally notified Attorney General Pam Bondi and the DOJ that the elimination of taxes on NFA items, such as suppressors and SBRs, negates the constitutional basis for their registration. The argument posits that registration was tied to taxation, and with taxes at $0, the registration regime now functions as an illegal federal gun registry, violating the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986. The video highlights broad Congressional support for this position, issuing a stern warning to the DOJ to comply with legislative intent and constitutional principles.

This video analyzes a recent Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals decision in United States v. Peterson concerning the regulation of suppressors under the National Firearms Act (NFA).
