Videos tagged with Subjective Standard

This video discusses the alleged racial bias in New Jersey's firearm permit application process, particularly concerning permits to carry. Journalist John Petrolino highlights how the state's 'temperament' clause, a subjective standard, disproportionately denies permits to Black citizens. He details his efforts to obtain data and official comment, revealing a lack of guidance from the Attorney General's office on addressing this bias. The discussion also touches on the implementation of subjective criteria post-Bruen and the challenges faced by applicants.

This video breaks down a new proposed ATF rule (2022 R-17) that aims to redefine what it means to be 'engaged in the business' of dealing firearms. The rule, stemming from the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, focuses on a subjective standard of 'predominantly earn a profit' rather than a numerical threshold. This could significantly impact private party firearm sales nationwide, potentially requiring FFL licenses for transactions previously considered personal or casual.
