Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ATF's new argument for classifying semi-automatic firearms as machine guns?

The ATF is reportedly using the legal argument of 'constant rearward pressure' on the trigger. This concept suggests that if a firearm can be fired without fully releasing the trigger between shots, it could be reclassified as a machine gun under their interpretation of existing law.

What is microstamping and why is it controversial in New Jersey?

Microstamping involves etching a unique code onto a firing pin that stamps the primer of each fired round. New Jersey is pushing for this technology, but it's controversial because peer-reviewed studies have shown it to be unreliable under real-world conditions due to carbon buildup and wear.

What legal action is being taken regarding the DOJ and FOIA requests?

A lawsuit has been filed against the Department of Justice for allegedly ignoring a FOIA request. The request sought information on whether the DOJ pressures individuals to voluntarily enter NICS, a system for background checks on firearm purchases, outside of court proceedings.

What is the significance of the Gadsden flag controversy in Colorado?

A Colorado school expelled a student for displaying a Gadsden flag patch, with the administration incorrectly claiming it has origins in the slave trade. This incident highlights a misinterpretation of historical symbols and potential overreach by school authorities.
