This video discusses a major Supreme Court filing by the Department of Justice seeking to expand the interpretation of 18 USC 922g, the federal law concerning prohibited persons in possession of firearms. The DOJ aims to leverage a recent narrow win in the Rahimi case to influence future rulings on Second Amendment challenges, particularly concerning 'as applied' challenges to the statute. The speaker, Mark Smith, a constitutional attorney and member of the Supreme Court bar, analyzes the DOJ's strategy to potentially disarm broader categories of individuals by avoiding individualized determinations of dangerousness.

This video discusses Oregon's Senate Bill 348, which mirrors and expands upon Measure 114. A key amendment in SB 348 restricts legal challenges to the bill to Marion County, a move the speaker argues is designed to prevent injunctions and ensure implementation by forcing challenges through a liberal-leaning court. The bill also increases permit-to-purchase fees.
