Criminals Get Their Guns Back || New Rule Published

The Department of Justice (DOJ) and ATF are reportedly revisiting and revising the 'frames and receivers' rule and the 'engaged in the business' rule. This follows the DOJ voluntarily dismissing its appeal in a Fifth Circuit case against the ATF, indicating the current rules are on shaky legal ground. A new notice of proposed rulemaking is expected, suggesting a strategic retreat by the government to avoid a definitive court loss and to re-attempt regulation with a revised approach.

This video discusses proposed budget allocations within the Trump administration's fiscal year 2027 federal budget, focusing on Second Amendment rights. Key proposals include funding for a dedicated Second Amendment unit within the DOJ's Civil Rights Division, allocating funds for firearms rights restoration initiatives under 18 USC 925, and directing the ATF to reverse regulations imposed by the prior administration that allegedly criminalized law-abiding gun ownership, such as those concerning pistol braces and homemade firearms.

This video explains how the government can identify owners of specific firearms, particularly AR-15 style rifles, through a process called 'reverse tracing.' The speaker argues that while there isn't a direct gun registry, the ATF can obtain sales records from manufacturers, distributors, and licensed gun stores to track firearm ownership. The video connects this capability to potential future confiscation efforts, especially through federal red flag laws, and emphasizes the importance of understanding these mechanisms for Second Amendment rights.

Erich Pratt, Senior Vice President at Gun Owners of America, is scheduled to testify before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. His testimony will address government "attacks" on the Second Amendment, advocating for the abolition of the ATF's gun owner registry and the passage of concealed carry reciprocity. Pratt will also discuss the Department of Justice's efforts to prevent federal cases from being lost, potentially allowing future administrations to reinstate restrictive policies.

The ATF is reportedly planning agency action to amend its rule on unfinished frames and receivers (2021R-05F). This development stems from the ongoing legal challenge in Vandertock v. Bondi, where the Supreme Court previously ruled the ATF had not exceeded statutory authority, remanding the case. The DOJ indicated the ATF's intent to revise the rule, potentially impacting the claims in the litigation.

This video discusses the firing of US Attorney General Pam Bondi and its potential impact on Second Amendment rights and federal gun law enforcement. The speaker, Jared from Guns and Gadgets, highlights that the Attorney General's role is crucial in controlling the Department of Justice, federal prosecutions, and how federal gun laws, including those enforced by the ATF, are handled. The change in leadership could significantly alter the DOJ's stance on defending laws like the National Firearms Act (NFA) and regulations concerning pistol braces and ghost guns, especially in light of recent court challenges and the Supreme Court's Bruen decision.

This guide details the installation and deployment of the Freedom Ordnance FG-15 trigger crank grip for the AR-15 platform. It covers the mechanical operation, emphasizing the piston-driven trigger activation via a retractable crank. The video features a high-authority speaker, providing technical insights into the internal workings and live-fire performance.

This guide details the technique for firing the PKM 7.62x54R machine gun in full-auto. It emphasizes proper mounting, loading, and stable firing positions. The VSO Gun Channel Host, with high authority, demonstrates sustained fire, highlighting the weapon's cyclic rate and the importance of recoil management.

This expert analysis from The VSO Gun Channel delves into the nuances of firearm suppressors, clarifying terminology and regulatory hurdles. It highlights the historical context of the term 'silencer,' the practical sound reduction achieved (approx. 130 dB), and the significant NFA process in the US, including the $200 tax stamp and lengthy wait times. The content also advocates for legislative changes like the Hearing Protection Act, emphasizing suppressors as hearing protection tools.

The VSO Gun Channel host provides a cautionary guide on suppressor use in home defense. Firing an unsuppressed firearm indoors, especially a 10.5-inch SBR, can cause temporary deafness. This hearing impairment poses a significant risk, potentially leading to fatal miscommunication where a homeowner mistakes a family member for an intruder. The speaker emphasizes that suppressor use is only acceptable in a home defense context if the resident lives alone.
