This video explains the critical legal distinction between legislative facts and adjudicative facts in the context of Second Amendment litigation. It argues that anti-gun litigants and judges often misapply the concept of adjudicative facts to Second Amendment cases, which should be decided on legislative facts. This tactic is used to unnecessarily prolong cases, increase litigation costs, and delay the enforcement of Second Amendment rights.

Quick Summary

Legislative facts inform the justification or meaning of laws and constitutions, like historical context, and are determined without trials. Adjudicative facts concern specific parties and events, such as whether someone committed a crime, and are typically decided at trial. Anti-gun groups misclassify Second Amendment issues as adjudicative facts to delay cases and increase costs.
