This video discusses the legal implications of renouncing U.S. citizenship on firearm possession rights, specifically referencing the case Durant v. Bondi. It explains how federal law, particularly 18 U.S. Code § 922, prohibits individuals who have renounced their citizenship from possessing firearms, even if they hold non-immigrant visas and hunting licenses. The court upheld this prohibition by drawing historical parallels to founding-era laws disarming those unwilling to swear allegiance.
This video explains the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) used by Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) in the United States. It details the historical context, starting with the 1968 Gun Control Act, and outlines the categories of individuals prohibited from purchasing firearms. The role of the 1993 Brady Act in mandating these checks is also discussed, along with state variations in NICS implementation and the 'approved, delayed, denied' outcomes.
