This video provides an expert analysis from William Kirk, President of Washington Gun Law, on the US government's lawsuit against the state of Missouri concerning its Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA). Kirk details how the DOJ, under Merrick Garland, is challenging Missouri's right to prevent state resources from aiding federal gun law enforcement, citing a novel legal theory based on the legislature's intent rather than the law's substance. The case highlights a significant constitutional conflict over states' Tenth Amendment rights versus federal authority, with Missouri seeking review from Justice Kavanaugh.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has overturned the federal bump stock ban, a significant legal victory against the ATF's reclassification of firearm accessories. While this ruling is likely to be appealed to the Supreme Court, it establishes a precedent against executive agencies redefining items to ban them. The speaker emphasizes the importance of this procedural win, regardless of personal interest in bump stocks, highlighting the need for Congress to create laws rather than agencies through regulation.
This video discusses potential leaks and confident predictions surrounding a new ATF frame/receiver rule. Gun control groups like Everytown and Giffords express certainty about the rule's impact, with one predicting an April release, contradicting the DOJ's June estimate. The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) raises concerns about the ATF overstepping its statutory authority, particularly regarding proposed changes to serial number placement and manufacturing overhauls.
