This video from Washington Gun Law TV, featuring an expert analysis from William Kirk, discusses the Supreme Court's ruling in Trump v. Casa, which effectively ends the practice of nationwide injunctions. The ruling, authored by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, clarifies that federal courts historically lacked the authority to issue universal injunctions, tying such relief to the procedures of Rule 23 class actions. The analysis highlights potential future implications for Second Amendment litigation and executive orders, contrasting the majority opinion with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissent.

This video analyzes the Supreme Court's decision in United States v. Rahimi, focusing on its implications for Second Amendment jurisprudence. It highlights how the Court narrowly ruled on a facial challenge to 18 USC 922 G8, finding it constitutional in some applications, particularly concerning individuals found to be a physical danger to others. The analysis emphasizes that the decision did not address due process concerns or the broader debate on historical interpretation periods (1791 vs. 1868), leaving these as open issues for future litigation. A significant takeaway is the debunking of the 'responsible American' myth as a prerequisite for Second Amendment rights.

The Supreme Court is reviewing a Trump-era ban on bump stocks, examining whether these accessories, which increase the rate of fire of semi-automatic rifles, meet the legal definition of a machine gun under existing federal law. The case, initiated by Texas gun shop owner Michael Cargill, questions the ATF's authority to ban bump stocks without congressional action and explores the legal implications for individuals who possessed them prior to the ban. Justices are grappling with the technical definition of 'machine gun' and the practical effects of bump stocks on firearm functionality.
