MN Rep. Tony Cornish & I Talk 2nd Amendment, Gun Bills & Suppressors

This video discusses a reported policy change by the United States Postal Service (USPS) to no longer ship suppressors and silencers. The speaker, a constitutional attorney, argues this policy would be illegal and unconstitutional. He asserts that suppressors are protected 'arms' under the Second Amendment and that the relevant statute, 18 USC 1715, does not grant the USPS authority to ban their shipment, especially given the 1934 National Firearms Act's specific inclusion of silencers. The speaker references a Trump administration DOJ Office of Legal Counsel opinion that found 18 USC 1715 unconstitutional as applied to handguns, suggesting a similar argument would apply to suppressors.

This video analyzes two critical Supreme Court cases, US v. Hemani and Wolford v. Lopez, that could significantly impact Second Amendment rights. US v. Hemani challenges the federal prohibition on firearm possession by unlawful drug users, questioning historical precedent for broad disarming based on status. Wolford v. Lopez addresses Hawaii's 'vampire rule,' which effectively turns private property into default gun-free zones unless explicitly permitted, potentially reshaping concealed carry rights on private property open to the public. The analysis emphasizes how these rulings will define the enforcement of the Bruin standard by lower courts and the broader implications for gun owners nationwide.

This video details significant legal developments challenging the federal firearms registration framework, particularly concerning items like suppressors and SBRs. A federal judge in Texas is consolidating two major lawsuits, the GOA case and the Jensen case, to evaluate constitutional arguments against the National Firearms Act (NFA). The core issue revolves around whether registration requirements can legally persist after Congress reduced the associated taxes to zero, potentially undermining the system's historical justification as a tax statute.

This video analyzes Virginia's AR-15 ban, highlighting its potential to 'fall apart' due to a lack of enforcement from elected officials like Commonwealth's Attorneys and Sheriffs. The speaker argues that many officials view the ban as unconstitutional and are refusing to prosecute cases, particularly in Southern states where AR-15 ownership is common and deeply ingrained. The ban's potential impact, including a class one misdemeanor charge and a three-year suspension of firearm rights, is discussed, alongside the possibility of Supreme Court intervention.

This video details a case where a Florida gun owner, William Brewer, was jailed for 14 days due to a false denial by the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). The incident highlights issues with NICS accuracy, the impact of legislation like the NICS Denial Notification Act and Fix NICS Act, and the disproportionate effect on minority groups. Gun Owners of America (GOA) is advocating for reforms, including the abolition of the NICS system.

This video provides an analysis of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals case, Baird v Bonta, which challenges California's ban on open carry. The speaker, Will from Copper Jacket TV, discusses the oral arguments and expresses concern over the potential outcome, suggesting it may not favor gun rights advocates. The case centers on the interpretation of the Second Amendment and the legal standards for challenging firearm restrictions.

This guide details the critical process of checking headspace on an AR-15 build, a vital step for ensuring firearm safety and reliability. Professional gunsmith Dale Heckstrom from Little Crow Gunworks demonstrates the disassembly of the bolt carrier group, the precise use of 'Go' and 'No-Go' gauges, and the reassembly process. Proper headspace ensures the firearm operates within safe mechanical tolerances, preventing potential malfunctions or dangerous failures due to factory defects or mismatched components.
