How It Appears the NRA Was Late to the Party

This video discusses recent legislative actions in California and Maryland that ban firearms based on specific components, like the cruciform trigger bar, rather than the completed firearm. The California lawsuit 'James v. Bont' was dismissed without prejudice, while Maryland's SB 334 is awaiting the governor's signature, mirroring California's approach. The speaker argues these bans are unconstitutional, citing the Heller decision, and are intended to limit market options rather than address stated concerns like 'switches'.

This video discusses a federal lawsuit challenging the National Firearms Act (NFA) and its regulation of suppressors.

The lawsuit James v. Bont, challenging California's AB1127 (dubbed the 'Glock ban'), has been stayed by the court. This action, a joint motion by plaintiffs and defendants, effectively halts proceedings and vacates deadlines. The speaker speculates this is due to Glock discontinuing models relevant to the lawsuit, removing the core basis for the legal challenge. Without this challenge, AB1127 will stand, impacting other firearm models as well.
