Videos tagged with Straw Purchaser

This video discusses Illinois HB 218, a new law that significantly impacts the firearm industry. Governor JB Pritzker signed the bill, which aims to allow lawsuits against firearm manufacturers and sellers by redefining 'firearm accessory' and 'firearm industry member' broadly. The law imposes stringent 'reasonable controls' on manufacturers to prevent sales to prohibited individuals and mitigate risks, effectively making them liable for the actions of others. It also restricts marketing towards minors and prohibits promoting paramilitary activities. The speaker argues this law contradicts the federal Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) and is unconstitutional, noting that the NSSF has already filed a lawsuit challenging it.
