California Gun Control Gets Flattened Again

This video provides an expert breakdown of the Second Amendment Foundation's third lawsuit challenging the National Firearms Act (NFA). The lawsuit, Roberts v. ATF, argues that the NFA is unconstitutional on two fronts: Congress may lack the authority to enforce it, and even if it did, suppressors and short-barreled rifles (SBRs) are protected arms under the Bruen decision. The argument hinges on the NFA's original structure as a taxing measure, which has been undermined by recent legislative changes that eliminated the associated taxes.

This video, featuring William Kirk of Washington Gun Law, details how sheriffs in Arkansas are pushing back against federal gun control measures, particularly the ATF's pistol brace rule. It highlights Arkansas Act 1012 and state code 21-1-904, which aim to prevent state and local officials from enforcing federal firearms regulations deemed unconstitutional infringements on Second Amendment rights. The Arkansas Sheriff's Association has officially stated their non-support for enforcing such rules, prioritizing focus on violent offenders.

William Kirk from Washington Gun Law clarifies that the ATF cannot demand inspection of non-NFA firearms without a warrant. While NFA ownership doesn't waive Fourth Amendment rights, FFLs are subject to annual inspections, a rule not applicable to private individuals. If ATF agents arrive without a warrant, consent is typically required, and politely declining is advised.
