Frequently Asked Questions

What is the core of the patent dispute between Griffin Armament and Center Firearms?

The dispute centers on who invented the first 3D printed firearm suppressor. Griffin Armament claims they developed the technology in 2009-2010, predating Center Firearms' 2011 patent filing, which Griffin argues is overly broad and claims basic silencer features.

What are the key provisions of the new New York law regarding gun seizures in domestic violence cases?

New York police must now seize firearms during domestic violence calls if victims feel threatened or officers perceive risk, even without charges. The weapons must be returned within 5 days unless a court order or charge is issued.

What concerns are raised about the New York domestic violence gun seizure law?

Critics worry the law violates due process and could be misused. There's a concern that police might pressure victims into stating they feel threatened, leading to the disarming of the victim rather than the abuser.

How might a government shutdown impact EBT benefits and what are the potential consequences?

A government shutdown could cut off EBT benefits for 42 million people. This sudden social change could lead to significant chaos, food shortages, and potential unrest, similar to past events.

What are the technical specifications of the Faxon Ascent AR-15 in 350 Legend mentioned?

The Faxon Ascent in 350 Legend features a 16-inch nitride-coated barrel, an enhanced forged receiver set, a 13-inch M-Lock handguard, a carbine gas system, and weighs approximately 6.25 pounds.
