This video details the case of Rafi Khan, a legal gun owner who was wrongfully arrested by the NYPD. Despite possessing valid permits, Khan was arrested on charges of illegal firearm possession. The lawsuit revealed that NYPD officers lacked knowledge of New York's gun laws, including post-Bruen changes, and relied on internet searches instead of proper procedure. Ultimately, Khan's charges were dropped, but the judge ruled the arrest an 'innocent mistake,' denying accountability for the officers and leaving Khan without compensation for damages.

This video features an expert analysis of the 'Vampire Rule' in various states, focusing on its application to concealed carry permit holders. The speaker, demonstrating deep legal knowledge, contrasts the requirements in states like Hawaii, New York, New Jersey, and Maryland with California's unique approach, highlighting how the Ninth Circuit's ruling differentiated between them. The discussion emphasizes the nuances of requiring affirmative permission versus specific signage for firearm carry in businesses.

This video analyzes New York's Bill A00544B, which allows police to seize firearms and carry permits without a warrant in family violence situations, based solely on an officer's belief of a threat. It argues this law bypasses due process, undermines the Second Amendment, and sets a dangerous precedent for potential nationwide erosion of gun rights. The New York State Rifle and Pistol Association (NYSRPA) and its president, Tom King, are highlighted as vocal opponents raising constitutional concerns.

This video discusses the Supreme Court case Walford v. Lopez, which addresses the legality of carrying firearms on private property open to the public. Gun Owners of America (GOA) played a role in creating the circuit split that led to this case, stemming from their Antonyuk v. James case in New York. The core issue is whether states can implement 'vampire clauses' that require explicit permission from private property owners for concealed carry, effectively banning it by default in many locations.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed law A00544B, which mandates law enforcement to confiscate firearms and carry permits during 'family violence situations' without a warrant. This law expands on a previous statute, now requiring confiscation based on an officer's subjective belief of a potential threat, rather than requiring a judge's discretion. The duration for which firearms and permits can be held has also increased from 48 hours to 120 hours, with the burden of proof shifting to the owner to demonstrate they are not a prohibited person.

This video from Guns & Gadgets discusses a new law in New York mandating firearm confiscation by police during domestic violence calls. Expertly analyzed by Jared, the law removes officer discretion, requiring seizure if a victim expresses fear or officers believe it prevents harm. The discussion highlights concerns over constitutional rights, extended holding periods, and potential national implications.

This video discusses a Second Circuit ruling upholding New York's ammunition background check requirements. The court determined that these checks do not "meaningfully constrain" the right to keep and bear arms under the first step of the Bruen framework, thus not implicating the Second Amendment. This decision creates a circuit split with the Ninth Circuit's ruling in Roodie v. Bont, which struck down similar laws.

This video discusses the introduction of the Modern Firearm Safety Act (HR4676) and the Fire Act in the U.S. House of Representatives. The Modern Firearm Safety Act aims to eliminate handgun rosters nationwide, while the Fire Act seeks to abolish magazine capacity bans across the United States. The discussion highlights the legislative process, potential challenges from states like California and New York, and the comparison between legislative victories and judicial rulings in advancing Second Amendment rights.

This video discusses New York's legislative efforts to criminalize the sharing of 3D-printed gun files, despite First Amendment protections for digital speech. It details proposed bills S227A and A177, which aim to add misdemeanor charges for distributing such files, while also folding 3D printing into existing felony charges for manufacturing firearms. The speaker argues these measures are largely ineffective against actual crime and infringe upon constitutional rights.

This video analyzes the Supreme Court's decision to uphold New York's 'good moral character' clause for firearm ownership. The speaker argues this is a significant threat to gun rights, as it allows subjective state interpretation of 'moral character' to deny constitutional rights, potentially setting a dangerous precedent for other amendments. The analysis highlights the vagueness of 'temperament and judgment' requirements and criticizes the Supreme Court for not intervening in what is perceived as a violation of fundamental rights.

New York has enacted a law requiring financial institutions to track gun and ammunition purchases using special merchant codes. This measure is criticized for enabling government surveillance of gun owners and potentially leading to data breaches that expose sensitive personal information. The law is viewed by some as a violation of Fourth Amendment rights and may push transactions underground.

The Supreme Court has denied certiorari in the Antinook v. James case, allowing New York's gun control measures to remain in effect. This decision upholds provisions requiring 'good moral character' for concealed carry permits and designates various locations as 'sensitive places' where firearms are prohibited. The ruling is seen as a setback for Second Amendment rights, potentially paving the way for similar restrictions in other states.
