An Obama Appointed Judge Strikes Down Another Federal Gun Law

Virginia lawmakers are advancing Senate Bill 727, a significant legislative proposal aiming to ban the carrying of certain firearms outside the home. The bill employs broad definitions for 'assault firearms,' encompassing many commonly owned semi-automatic rifles, pistols, and shotguns based on specific features and magazine capacities. This legislation has drawn strong opposition from local law enforcement officials who argue it infringes upon Second Amendment rights and targets law-abiding citizens, potentially leading to widespread non-enforcement due to constitutional concerns.

This video from Guns & Gadgets analyzes New York's proposed Senate Bill S362 and Assembly Bill A3233, which would mandate a ten-day waiting period for all firearm purchases, even after a successful background check.

The analysis highlights potential conflicts with the Bruen decision and the impact on law-abiding citizens.

This video, presented by an expert with extensive knowledge of gun laws and the firearms industry, discusses Colorado's SB26-043 bill, which proposes regulating the sale and transfer of firearm barrels.

The discussion touches upon the unconstitutionality of such measures and the lengthy legal battles required to challenge them.

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.

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.

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.
