California Senate Bill 1127, termed the 'Glock ban bill,' proposes to ban firearms with a cruciform trigger bar, impacting hundreds of models. The bill introduces ambiguous definitions for 'firearm component' and 'reasonably designed or intended,' raising constitutional concerns. Amendments made late in the legislative session bypassed standard committee scrutiny, limiting public recourse. While the bill aims to remove specific firearm models from sale, its broad language and procedural irregularities are being challenged by legal experts and advocacy groups.

Senator Chris Murphy has proposed increasing the NFA tax stamp to nearly $5,000, aiming to reverse the recent reduction to zero dollars for suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and other NFA items. Gun Owners of America (GOA) and its allies are actively opposing this amendment, which is attached to a military construction and veteran affairs funding bill, arguing it violates Senate rules on germaneness. This move is seen as a tactic to price civilians out of firearms and equipment protected by the Second Amendment, a strategy GOA has fought against for decades through various legislative proposals.

It highlights concerns from gun rights organizations like Giffords and Everytown regarding the removal of these regulations, while also addressing potential legislative drafting errors and the importance of a manager's amendment to insulate states with existing firearms laws from federal changes. The speaker emphasizes the ongoing fight to protect Second Amendment rights and the strategic legislative maneuvers involved.

This video discusses a significant legislative push in Colorado to implement a new gun control bill. Initially aiming to ban certain firearms with detachable magazines, the bill was rewritten in the dark of night to include a 'license to buy' scheme. This new proposal mandates either a hunter safety and firearm safety course or a new 12-hour course, fingerprinting, and background checks overseen by the sheriff and CBI to purchase firearms. The speaker emphasizes that this is a compromise that infringes on gun rights and could serve as a template for other states, urging viewers to contact Colorado lawmakers.

This video discusses the legislative actions in Washington State concerning parental rights in education, specifically focusing on Initiative 2081 and House Bill 1296. The speaker argues that HB 1296 undermines I-2081 by repealing or modifying parental rights related to immediate notification of criminal actions involving their children or when law enforcement questions them. The video highlights a rejected amendment that would have mandated immediate notification to parents about sexual misconduct allegations involving school employees.

This video provides a detailed analysis of the Queensland Community Safety Bill 2024, focusing on its implications for licensed firearm owners. It explains how amendments to the Weapons Act 1990 redefine the 'fit and proper person' test, introducing new criteria based on past convictions, including those with no conviction recorded.

The video urges licensed shooters to engage with the legislative process by signing petitions and contacting their local members.

This video provides an update on Washington State's House Bill 2118, initially dubbed the 'Death Star of Civilian Disarmament.' While the bill originally aimed to impose severe burdens on the FFL industry, including extensive surveillance and storage requirements, last-minute amendments have made it 'mildly better.' Key changes include modifications to employee fingerprinting, firearm storage options, and reduced retention periods for surveillance footage. However, the speaker emphasizes that the bill remains problematic.

This video discusses a new 7-day waiting period for firearm purchases in New Mexico, signed into law by Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham.
