3 Major Gun Control Bills Fall in Committee

This video from Washington Gun Law TV, hosted by William Kirk, analyzes how "permit to purchase" laws are emerging as a new strategy for civilian disarmament, even in light of Supreme Court rulings. It examines specific legislation in Colorado (SB 3), Washington (HB 1163), and California (AB 1187), highlighting how these laws impose mandatory training, licensing, and potentially lengthy waiting periods, creating significant barriers to firearm acquisition. The discussion also touches upon the interpretation of Bruen's Footnote 9 and its implications for challenging such regulations.

California Bill AB 1187 proposes to eliminate the Second Amendment by transforming it into a government-granted privilege. The bill mandates an 8-hour training course, including live fire qualification, for anyone purchasing or receiving a firearm, even through inheritance. This new requirement, alongside existing regulations and fees, aims to make firearm ownership prohibitively difficult and expensive.

This video discusses the Supreme Court's decision to overturn the Chevron Doctrine, which previously granted deference to federal agencies' interpretations of statutes. CRPA President Chuck Michelle explains how this impacts agencies like the ATF, potentially limiting their ability to enact regulations without clear statutory authority. The discussion also covers recent SCOTUS decisions on Second Amendment cases, including the denial of cert in Illinois gun ban cases and the GVR (Grant, Vacate, Remand) of cases in light of the Rahimi decision, signaling a shift in how gun rights litigation may proceed.

This video discusses President Trump's executive order aimed at reviewing and potentially reversing actions that may infringe upon Second Amendment rights. Rick Travis, CRPA Legislative Director, breaks down the order's implications, focusing on the Attorney General's role in examining regulations, particularly those concerning 'ghost guns' (DIY firearm kits) and age restrictions. The discussion also touches upon the potential impact of the order on existing Second Amendment lawsuits and the role of state governments in challenging federal actions.

This video provides an expert overview of key California firearm laws and regulations taking effect in 2025 and beyond, presented by attorney Matt Cabero. It details changes to firearm storage requirements, the impact of the ammunition tax, and updates to CCW permit processes. The discussion highlights the efforts of organizations like CRPA in shaping legislation and regulatory outcomes.

This video discusses two lawsuits challenging California laws that prohibit firearm, ammunition, and precursor part sales on state-owned properties, specifically targeting gun shows at the Del Mar Fairgrounds and OC Fair and Event Center. The discussion highlights the legal arguments presented at the Ninth Circuit, including First and Second Amendment claims, and the differing outcomes in the lower courts. It also touches upon the perceived bias of the judicial panel and the strategic considerations in arguing such cases.
