Braces BAD! Yep, ATF going after braces again...

A recent Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision in United States v. DeBora has established binding precedent stating that firearm suppressors are considered accessories, not 'arms,' and therefore do not fall under the plain text of the Second Amendment. This ruling significantly impacts gun owners within the Ninth Circuit's jurisdiction, potentially affecting future legal challenges, including the ongoing Sanchez v. Bonta case concerning California's ban on silencers. The decision emphasizes a textualist approach, questioning whether an accessory is necessary for the ordinary operation of a weapon.

This video discusses a controversial ATF rule regarding pistol braces, which the speaker claims could retroactively make millions of gun owners felons. Despite federal courts striking down the rule, the Department of Justice is reportedly still pursuing felony charges on a case-by-case basis for pistol brace violations. The speaker emphasizes the potential for widespread legal repercussions for individuals possessing firearms with pistol braces.

This video from Gun Owners of America (GOA) details the ATF's attempt to reintroduce aspects of the 'Engage in the Business' (EIB) rule, which was previously vacated by a Texas judge. GOA argues that the proposed new rule, while rescinding some provisions, retains the core legal framework and flawed theories of the original Biden-era rule, effectively enabling backdoor universal background checks. The organization urges gun owners to submit comments to the ATF to demand the full withdrawal of the proposed rule.

This video argues that the National Firearms Act (NFA) is becoming unsustainable due to increased suppressor and Short-Barreled Rifle (SBR) ownership, driven by the removal of the tax stamp and the 'common use' argument. The speaker posits that the significant growth in NFA item registration, particularly suppressors (73% in two years), undermines the historical justifications for the NFA, such as items being 'unusual and dangerous.' The analysis suggests that legal challenges, potentially referencing the Bruin decision, could lead to the dismantling of the NFA's registry requirements.

This video analyzes the Fifth Circuit's ruling in United States v. COMO regarding suppressors and the Second Amendment. While the court affirmed that suppressors are 'arms' protected by the Second Amendment, the constitutional challenge to the NFA failed due to the 'shall-issue' licensing regime, referencing Bruin footnote 9. The discussion highlights a circuit split on the definition of 'arms' and suggests the Supreme Court may need to resolve this issue, particularly concerning the interpretation of Bruin footnote 9.

This video analyzes the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals' decision in *United States v. Kamu*, which found that suppressors are 'arms' protected by the Second Amendment. While this is a positive step, the court was bound by the prior *US v. Peterson* decision, which upheld the NFA's registration scheme as constitutional. The speaker, a constitutional attorney, argues that *Peterson* was wrongly decided and that the NFA registration requirement likely violates the Second Amendment, citing historical precedent and dissenting opinions within the *Kamu* case itself.

This video demonstrates the correct 'rock and lock' technique for inserting AK-47 pattern magazines into the CMMG Mk47 rifle. It highlights a common user error of 'mag-locking' by attempting AR-15 style straight insertion, which leads to malfunctions. The instruction emphasizes that mastering this AK manual of arms is crucial for reliable operation of the Mk47 platform.

This guide details the installation and function of the CMMG P3 (Personal Position Preset) Screw System. The P3 screw, found in the Zeroed grip's storage compartment, installs into the Fastback receiver extension. It allows users to set a predetermined stop position for adjustable stocks or braces like the RipStock and RipBrace, enhancing consistent shouldering. The guide includes specific tool requirements and adjustment methods for both the RipStock and RipBrace.

This guide details the installation and basic usage of essential AR-15 accessories, including slings, charging handles, handstops, triggers, flashlights, and optics, as presented by Mike from CMMG. It emphasizes proper fitment and function checks, while reinforcing that proper training is the most critical element for any firearm owner.

This guide details the installation of the CMMG .22LR Conversion Kit into a standard AR-15 platform. The process involves removing the existing bolt carrier group and inserting the conversion unit. The video emphasizes the cost-effectiveness of .22LR ammunition for training and introduces new shooters to the AR platform with reduced recoil. It also highlights compatibility nuances, particularly for Mk57 platforms.
