This video discusses the continued importation of Russian 7.62x39mm ammunition into the US despite a ban implemented in September 2021.

The analysis highlights that more Russian ammo has been imported since the ban than throughout the entire year of 2021.

Despite a September 2021 ban on Russian ammunition imports to the US, significant quantities of 7.62x39mm ammunition continue to arrive. This is facilitated by a 'grandfather clause' that allows existing and pending import permits to be honored, permitting deliveries for up to three years post-ban. This has resulted in substantial volumes of Russian ammo entering the US market.

Palmetto State Armory (PSA) is investing significantly to bring steel-cased ammunition production to the United States. This initiative aims to mitigate the impact of the ban on importing ammunition from Russia, ensuring a domestic supply of steel-cased rounds, particularly relevant for platforms like the AK. PSA is importing machinery and expertise from an Eastern European entity to establish this domestic manufacturing capability.

This video discusses the Supreme Court's unanimous 9-0 decision in a case involving the Martins, who were victims of an FBI wrong-house raid. The core issue revolves around the discretionary function exception under the Federal Tort Claims Act, which the government uses to claim immunity. The Supreme Court's ruling clarified that simply exercising judgment does not automatically grant immunity, and the government must demonstrate that decisions were grounded in actual policy considerations, not mere mistakes. The 11th Circuit is now rehearing arguments in light of this precedent, with judges appearing skeptical of the government's broad claims of immunity for operational failures.
