Frequently Asked Questions

What is 'rights by attrition' regarding firearm ownership?

'Rights by attrition' describes a governmental approach where complex and overlapping laws, particularly concerning travel, medical use, and estate planning, are used to make firearm ownership confusing for citizens, especially seniors, potentially leading to accidental legal violations.

Can seniors legally use a firearm against a younger attacker?

Yes, seniors may have the legal right to use a firearm against a younger, stronger, or multiple unarmed attackers if a significant physical disparity exists, a principle supported by legal precedents like the Michael Monahan case.

How does medical marijuana affect firearm rights?

Federal law (18 U.S.C. 922(g)(3)) prohibits marijuana users from possessing firearms, classifying them as 'prohibited persons.' This conflicts with state-legal medical marijuana programs and has been the subject of recent legal challenges.

What are the risks associated with inheriting firearms?

Inheriting unregistered National Firearms Act (NFA) items like machine guns or suppressors can lead to legal trouble. Utilizing NFA Gun Trusts is recommended to ensure legal access for family members after the owner's passing.
