Gun Gripes Episode 26: "What's good for the goose"

This video analyzes New York's proposed 'Francisco's Law,' a gun control bill focusing on safe storage. The speaker, Jared from Guns and Gadgets, argues that while presented as a common-sense measure, the law significantly expands government regulation over lawfully owned firearms.

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.

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 analyzes Xavier Becerra's record on Second Amendment rights, highlighting his past support for gun control measures as Attorney General and in Congress.

This video analyzes two recent court decisions impacting Second Amendment rights, particularly concerning concealed carry for travelers. The Supreme Court's 7-2 decision in Florida v. California, while not directly about firearms, is presented as a favorable precedent for recognizing out-of-state licenses. Conversely, the Eighth Circuit's ruling in McCoy v. Jacobson is seen as potentially detrimental to nationwide concealed carry reciprocity. The analysis highlights a perceived double standard favoring commercial driver's licenses for non-citizens over concealed carry permits for American citizens.
