Frequently Asked Questions

What is Maria Malinowski's legal argument regarding the ATF's seizure of her husband's guns?

Maria Malinowski contends that the government cannot seize her deceased husband's firearms and ammunition as evidence of a crime without a criminal conviction. She argues that the government failed to initiate a criminal prosecution against her husband, making the seizure under civil asset forfeiture laws invalid.

What are the legal implications of 'ghost guns' in Rhode Island?

In Rhode Island, possessing homemade firearms, often called 'ghost guns,' is illegal and carries significant penalties. A recent case resulted in a four-year prison sentence for a man convicted of possessing these firearms and marijuana, with the state citing intent to distribute.

What changes has Wyoming made regarding gun-free zones?

Wyoming has repealed some 'defenseless victim zones' (gun-free zones). The new law allows individuals eligible to carry concealed to do so in government buildings and on university and K-12 campuses, though it does not change who is permitted to enter these locations.

What is the significance of the ATF facility in Martinsburg, West Virginia?

The ATF facility in Martinsburg, West Virginia, is noted as the location where the agency allegedly keeps its gun registry. It also serves as a processing center for NFA applications and stores paper Form 4473s that have not yet been digitized.
