This video analyzes Rhode Island's proposed bill H8073, which seeks to remove the grandfather clause from a previous assault weapons ban, making possession of previously legally owned firearms a felony. Speaker Colion Noir argues this demonstrates a pattern of incremental gun control, where initial compromises are later revoked. He highlights a state representative's statement that the ban was a 'partial step' and that the new bill 'finishes what we started,' suggesting the ultimate goal is total disarmament. The analysis also touches on legal arguments regarding 'police power' versus property confiscation under the Fifth Amendment.

This discussion centers on the Trump administration's actions regarding the National Firearms Act (NFA), specifically its Department of Justice's efforts to overturn a ruling that declared the NFA unconstitutional.

The conversation also touches on broader themes of political accountability, the historical role of law enforcement, and the complexities of immigration policy.

This video analyzes the legal arguments presented by the Washington State Attorney General's office concerning the state's high-capacity magazine ban.

The state also asserts that such regulations fall under its police power to ensure public safety.
