Garland, about losing gun rights based on restraining orders. These cases address significant legal battles over firearm regulations and agency authority.

What is the main argument against the ATF's bump stock ban in Garland v. Cargill?

This is often done through reclassifications or interpretations that go beyond their intended scope, as seen with bump stocks.

What is the significance of the NRA v. Vullo case for gun rights organizations?

NRA v. Vullo challenges New York State's alleged practice of pressuring financial institutions and other companies to cease doing business with the NRA. This case is a landmark attempt to prevent states from using regulatory threats to de-platform lawful organizations advocating for Second Amendment rights.
