Videos tagged with NICS Background Check

This video from Guns & Gadgets analyzes New York's proposed Senate Bill S362 and Assembly Bill A3233, which would mandate a ten-day waiting period for all firearm purchases, even after a successful background check. The speaker argues this measure is political cover for 'access control' rather than genuine public safety, citing the FBI's NICS system as instantaneous.

This video discusses two state bills, one in West Virginia (SB 1071) and one in Kentucky (HB 749), that aim to allow state governments to sell machine guns to citizens. These bills leverage a perceived loophole in the Firearm Owners Protection Act and the Hughes Amendment, which bans civilian ownership of machine guns manufactured after May 19, 1986. The core argument is that the federal ban does not apply to transfers involving government entities, a principle recently argued by the DOJ in New Jersey v. Bondi. The proposed state programs would establish an 'Office of Public Defense' to acquire and transfer machine guns, similar to those used by law enforcement, to qualified citizens after a NICS background check.
