This video from Guns & Gadgets details how Kentucky has enacted HB749, a legislative strategy to legally circumvent the federal machine gun ban on post-1986 firearms. The state is leveraging an exception in 18 USC 922(o) by establishing a state-run system through the Office of Public Defense to acquire and transfer these firearms to qualified citizens. This approach challenges federal authority and could potentially lead to a Supreme Court case regarding the interpretation of the Second Amendment and the legality of banning modern arms in common use.
This video from Guns & Gadgets, featuring an expert speaker, discusses a potential legal challenge to the 1986 federal machine gun ban through West Virginia's Senate Bill 1071. The bill, drafted with support from Gun Owners of America (GOA), aims to leverage a specific exemption in federal law to allow for the transfer of post-1986 machine guns to qualified citizens. The speaker highlights this as a strategic legal maneuver that could force a confrontation with federal authorities and potentially lead to broader changes in firearm law.
This video analyzes the US v. Morgan case, which challenges machine gun bans under the Second Amendment. It details how the 10th Circuit upheld restrictions, contrasting with a district court's ruling. The case is now before the Supreme Court, seeking clarification on which arms are protected by the Second Amendment and how precedent like Heller and Bruen applies to modern firearms.
The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the federal ban on civilian machine gun possession under 18 USC 922(o) in United States v. Morgan. The court's reasoning focused on machine guns not being in common use for lawful self-defense, drawing on historical interpretations and the Heller decision's dicta regarding M16s. This ruling reinforces the distinction between commonly possessed firearms and those deemed dangerous and unusual, impacting future legal challenges to machine gun bans.
