19 States & DC Side With ATF In Court

This video discusses a proposed gun law in Maryland that could potentially ban children from accessing computers due to their definition of additive manufacturing and its relation to 3D-printed firearms.

Colorado's SB26-043 mandates that firearm barrels must be purchased through a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) in person, treating them similarly to complete firearms. This law, aimed at curbing 'ghost guns,' imposes misdemeanor penalties for possession or sale without FFL involvement and requires FFLs to maintain sales records for five years, linking them to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. The speaker expresses strong opposition, arguing it infringes on Second Amendment rights and fails to address actual gun crime.

Supporters claim it's to curb ghost guns, while critics argue it's a data-harvesting operation targeting law-abiding gun owners and hobbyists.
