A Move So Dumb, It Makes the New Mexico Governor Look Smart

This video provides an expert analysis of proposed firearm legislation in Virginia, specifically focusing on potential bans of AR-15 style firearms. It clarifies the distinction between sales bans and ownership bans, details the legislative process for Senate Bill 749 and House Bill 217, and explains how the Supreme Court's Bruen decision impacts such legislation. The analysis emphasizes that current ownership is not immediately threatened but future sales and transfers could be restricted.

Virginia's new gun laws, effective July 1, 2026, introduce broad restrictions on firearms defined as 'assault firearms.' This legislation, driven by a political shift in the Commonwealth, targets semi-automatic rifles, shotguns, and pistols with specific features like detachable magazines and pistol grips. The law creates a manufacturer date deadline, prohibiting the sale, manufacture, and transfer of covered firearms made after July 1, 2026, with limited grandfathering for pre-existing ownership. Non-compliance carries severe penalties, including jail time, fines, and firearm possession bans.

This video from Langley Outdoors Academy, featuring expert analysis from Braden, discusses a significant loophole that could make Short-Barreled Rifles (SBRs) considerably cheaper. The analysis, referencing Prince Law Offices, details how changes to the National Firearms Act (NFA) taxes, specifically the reduction of Form 1 and Form 4 taxes to $0 for SBRs starting January 1, 2026, will effectively eliminate the 11% federal excise tax on these firearms. The video also touches on the low compliance rates of gun buyback programs in Canada and the 'Protect Illinois Communities Act' (PICA) in Illinois, highlighting public resistance to government overreach.

Palmetto State Armory (PSA) now offers factory-built Short-Barreled Rifles (SBRs), simplifying the NFA item acquisition process. Purchasing a PSA SBR follows the same procedure as buying a suppressor, requiring an ATF Form 4 application. PSA has partnered with Capitol Armory to facilitate direct shipping to customers in many locations after Form 4 approval, streamlining the process and potentially saving trips to a local FFL.

This video critically analyzes the Federal Firearm Licensing Act, arguing it functions as a de facto gun registry and imposes significant restrictions on firearm ownership. The speaker, demonstrating high authority on Second Amendment legislation, details the bill's proposed licensing requirements, including extensive testing and background checks, and its potential to undermine constitutional carry. The analysis highlights concerns about federal monitoring via the FBI's Rap Back service and the broad powers granted to the Attorney General.

Brandon Herrera and his team attended a San Antonio gun buyback event, offering cash for firearms to keep them out of destruction. They successfully made several private purchases in the parking lot before being asked to leave by police due to prohibited private transfers on event property.

This guide, presented by William Kirk of Washington Gun Law, outlines tactical and legal considerations for drivers encountering mob situations. It emphasizes de-escalation, identifying escape routes, and understanding the legal thresholds for self-defense, particularly the distinction between property damage and threats to human life.

This video, presented by William Kirk of Washington Gun Law, explores the complex legal question of whether one can legally shoot back at police if they are unlawfully firing. Kirk emphasizes that while a legal right to self-defense against imminent threats of death or serious bodily harm exists, the decision to use lethal force, especially against law enforcement, involves significant tactical and legal considerations beyond mere legality. The discussion highlights foundational self-defense principles and specific legal doctrines like the Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground.

This video, featuring William Kirk of Washington Gun Law, details how sheriffs in Arkansas are pushing back against federal gun control measures, particularly the ATF's pistol brace rule. It highlights Arkansas Act 1012 and state code 21-1-904, which aim to prevent state and local officials from enforcing federal firearms regulations deemed unconstitutional infringements on Second Amendment rights. The Arkansas Sheriff's Association has officially stated their non-support for enforcing such rules, prioritizing focus on violent offenders.

William Kirk from Washington Gun Law clarifies that the ATF cannot demand inspection of non-NFA firearms without a warrant. While NFA ownership doesn't waive Fourth Amendment rights, FFLs are subject to annual inspections, a rule not applicable to private individuals. If ATF agents arrive without a warrant, consent is typically required, and politely declining is advised.
