A recent court ruling in Morse v. Raul has determined that Illinois's ban on firearm suppressors does not infringe upon Second Amendment rights.

This video strongly advises against purchasing ammunition in states like New Jersey and Illinois where ID is recorded and shared with the ATF.

This video critically examines the effectiveness and potential dangers of gun buyback programs, particularly in Chicago. Colion Noir, an expert in firearms and legal matters, argues that these programs are often ineffective PR stunts that can inadvertently contribute to gun violence by failing to remove guns used in crimes and, in some cases, leading to firearms disappearing from police custody and reappearing on the streets. The video highlights specific instances where guns turned in at buybacks were later found in the hands of criminals or involved in fatal shootings, questioning the logic of suing manufacturers while simultaneously mismanaging seized firearms.
