The US v. Harris case before the Supreme Court questions whether marijuana users should be banned from purchasing firearms, impacting the 4473 form process. Other key cases include Hermani (cannabis use) and Walford (sensitive places).
The US v. Peterson case challenges the NFA's suppressor restrictions, arguing it violates the Second Amendment. The Fifth Circuit upheld the NFA by likening it to a 'shall issue' licensing regime, a reasoning now being contested. The Supreme Court is considering the case, with amicus briefs filed urging review, and the DOJ has waived its right to respond, creating procedural uncertainty.
The Supreme Court's decision to deny certiorari in Shoenthal v. Raul leaves in place a Seventh Circuit ruling upholding Illinois's ban on carrying firearms on public transportation. This ruling establishes public transit as a 'sensitive place' under the Bruen decision's framework, potentially paving the way for broader firearm restrictions nationwide. The speaker emphasizes the danger of this precedent, arguing it expands the 'sensitive places' doctrine beyond its intended scope and undermines the Second Amendment right to carry for self-defense.
