27 States Push Back Against ATF

This video details a federal lawsuit filed by Gun Owners of America (GOA) and others against Illinois' restrictive firearm carry laws. The lawsuit challenges the state's refusal to recognize out-of-state permits and its stringent requirements for non-residents to obtain an Illinois carry license, arguing these measures violate Second Amendment rights as affirmed by Supreme Court rulings like Heller, McDonald, and Bruen. The case could significantly impact non-resident carry rights nationwide.

TheYankeeMarshal, an experienced firearms instructor, critically examines the concept of 'sanctuary cities,' differentiating between 2A sanctuary cities and immigration sanctuary cities. He argues that supporting one while opposing the other is not inherently hypocritical, as 2A sanctuary cities are rooted in resisting unconstitutional infringements on fundamental rights, citing the Bruen decision as a legal basis. In contrast, immigration sanctuary policies are often based on political preferences rather than constitutional mandates. The discussion highlights that 2A sanctuary status is primarily a local stance on resource allocation and does not prevent federal enforcement, but rather local non-cooperation.

William Kirk, President of Washington Gun Law TV, critically analyzes Senate Bill S. 3916, the 'Gun Owner Registration Information Protection Act' (GRIP Act). He argues that despite its name, the bill offers no genuine protection to gun owners and fails to address the ongoing violations of the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 (FOPA) by states and potentially the federal government. Kirk emphasizes that FOPA explicitly prohibits firearm registries, owner lists, and transaction records, yet these are frequently created, posing a threat of confiscation.
