Videos tagged with Interstate Handgun Purchase Ban

This video discusses a legal challenge to the Interstate Handgun Purchase Ban, a federal law enacted in 1968. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has admitted the law may be unconstitutional but is arguing that any ruling should only apply to the specific plaintiffs in the case, Elite Precision Customs v. ATF, rather than all Americans. This tactic, if successful, could fundamentally alter how constitutional rights are applied, potentially requiring individuals to file their own lawsuits to benefit from overturned laws. The Firearms Policy Coalition is leading the challenge, asserting that constitutional rights should apply universally.

This video discusses recent Supreme Court activity related to Second Amendment rights. It highlights a moot ruling concerning New York City's handgun carry laws and an ongoing case in San Jose, California, regarding firearm confiscation without a warrant. The speaker also details upcoming Supreme Court discussions on several key firearms cases, including assault weapons bans and California's micro-stamp law.
