ATF Picks A Fight With Texas Over Suppressor Freedom Law!!!

South Dakota has enacted Senate Bill 2, removing firearm suppressors from its state definition of controlled weapons and thus decriminalizing their possession under state law. This action does not affect federal NFA regulations, meaning ATF approval and registration are still required. The law is presented as a more legally defensible approach than Texas's HB 957, focusing on state-level enforcement rather than challenging federal authority directly. The speaker, Armed Scholar, highlights this as part of a broader trend of states challenging NFA restrictions and the constitutional basis of federal firearm laws.

The speaker, an authority on Second Amendment litigation, details how the district court's dismissal, based on a lack of historical tradition for suppressors, is being appealed.

The outcome of these Illinois cases is anticipated to have significant national implications for modern firearm regulations.

This video provides an expert analysis of the Supreme Court's denial of certiorari in Torcivia v. Suffolk County.

Strom. The denial means this precedent stands, potentially impacting future firearm rights cases.

This expert analysis from Armed Scholar details the Supreme Court's 5-4 emergency order concerning Texas's border dispute with the Biden administration.

The Supreme Court denied a stay for Missouri's Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA), which aimed to prevent state agents from enforcing federal gun laws deemed unconstitutional.

This ruling has significant implications for state-level attempts to counter federal firearm regulations.

The Supreme Court denied an emergency request to stay a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling that mandated the counting of provisional ballots for voters whose mail-in ballots were deemed invalid.
