Hunter Biden's Pardon & How It Impacts The 2nd Amendment Fight

They highlight severe penalties for non-compliance and exemptions for government officials, framing the bill as a dangerous precedent for government intrusion.

Platkin concerning New Jersey's assault weapon ban, could create circuit splits leading to Supreme Court review.
