BREAKING: Ninth Circuit Rules Suppressors Are NOT Protected by the 2nd Amendment

This video analyzes the Ninth Circuit's ruling in United States v. De Borba, which held that illegal aliens are not protected by the Second Amendment and that suppressors are not considered 'arms' under the plain text of the amendment. The speaker argues this decision sets a dangerous precedent, misinterprets Supreme Court rulings like Bruin v. DC, and incorrectly equates the NFA's registration scheme with historical licensing regimes. The analysis emphasizes the potential negative impact on future Second Amendment litigation, particularly concerning suppressors.

This video breaks down the Department of Justice's legal strategy in defending the National Firearms Act (NFA) against challenges stemming from the elimination of certain NFA taxes. The DOJ argues the NFA remains valid through the taxing power (citing remaining SOT taxes), the commerce clause, and the necessary and proper clause, while also invoking historical precedent like US v. Miller to justify regulation of items like suppressors and SBRs, even post-Bruin.

This video discusses the Fiscal Year 2027 Commerce Justice Science Appropriations Bill, highlighting provisions aimed at protecting Second Amendment rights. Key points include the repeal of Biden-era ATF rules, such as the pistol brace rule and regulations on privately made firearms and universal background checks. The bill also seeks to eliminate NFA registration requirements for suppressors and short-barreled firearms, and establishes a Second Amendment Rights Section within the DOJ. The speaker emphasizes the importance of these measures in countering perceived overreach by the ATF and DOJ.

This video details significant legal developments challenging the National Firearms Act (NFA). Two major lawsuits, Silencer Shop and Jensen v. ATF, have been consolidated in the Northern District of Texas. The court is examining whether the NFA's registration requirements can be justified under Congress's taxing powers after the making and transfer tax was reduced to zero. Additionally, the court is considering Second Amendment arguments regarding suppressors and SBRs. The consolidation of these cases before a single judge is seen as a strategic advantage for plaintiffs seeking to challenge the modern NFA.

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 provides a critical update on the Supreme Court's handling of several key Second Amendment cases, including Duncan v. Bonta, which challenges California's magazine ban. The speaker expresses significant anxiety and frustration as the Supreme Court continues to punt these cases, with June being the final month of the current term. The lack of a decision by the end of June could mean the Ninth Circuit's ruling upholding the ban stands, impacting a vast number of individuals. The video emphasizes the urgency and potential consequences for gun rights if these cases are not addressed soon.

Expert analysis suggests this could lead to broader liability for retailers if not dismissed.
