The case highlights a circuit split and is expected to reach the Supreme Court.

This video discusses the differences between paper and digital firearm transaction forms at FFLs, focusing on data storage and potential government access. While digital forms can reduce human error and streamline audits for FFLs, concerns are raised about the long-term storage and accessibility of this data.

Colion Noir, an expert firearms instructor, critically analyzes H.R.1446, the Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2021, often referred to as the 'Charleston Loophole' bill. He argues the bill, while presented as a safety measure, primarily extends the FBI's background check delay period from three to twenty days, potentially creating a 'government incompetence' loophole rather than closing a genuine one. Noir emphasizes that the original three-day period was a safeguard against arbitrary denials, and extending it exploits tragedies like the Charleston church shooting to grant more power to the government, infringing upon Second Amendment rights.
