New Gun Laws You Must Know About (2025 Predictions) - USCCA Gun Laws Update

Eric Pratt, Senior Vice President of Gun Owners of America, testified before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs regarding threats to the Second Amendment. He highlighted the ATF's compilation of nearly 1 billion gun owner records, arguing it constitutes an illegal registry and a precursor to confiscation. Pratt urged Congress to pass legislation like Senator Ris's S119 and Representative Cloud's No Registry Rights Act to eliminate this database and prevent future infringements on gun ownership rights.

The video details the ongoing legal battle surrounding the ATF's pistol brace rule. While the rule has been vacated nationwide, the DOJ continues to assert its ability to enforce restrictions on braced pistols using underlying statutory theories. Congressional pressure from US Senators is now mounting, demanding the ATF cease this enforcement and issue formal guidance. The critical Gun Owners of America (GOA) and State of Texas case seeks a permanent injunction against this enforcement theory.

This video discusses the Gun Owners of America's (GOA) concerns with the Department of Justice (DOJ) under former Attorney General Pam Bondi, arguing that the DOJ did not adequately advance President Trump's pro-Second Amendment agenda. GOA highlights specific instances where they believe the DOJ, under Bondi's leadership, fought against gun owner protections and failed to overturn gun control measures. The video calls for a new, uncompromising Attorney General to prioritize overturning gun control and securing Second Amendment victories.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) and ATF are reportedly revisiting and revising the 'frames and receivers' rule and the 'engaged in the business' rule. This follows the DOJ voluntarily dismissing its appeal in a Fifth Circuit case against the ATF, indicating the current rules are on shaky legal ground. A new notice of proposed rulemaking is expected, suggesting a strategic retreat by the government to avoid a definitive court loss and to re-attempt regulation with a revised approach.

The video discusses the ATF's fluctuating stance on rewriting the frame and receiver rule. Initially planning to rewrite, then stating they would keep the rule, the ATF has now announced plans to rewrite it again due to pressure from Second Amendment groups, industry stakeholders, and government officials. The new rule is expected to distinguish between metal and polymer components, potentially impacting hobbyists and small businesses by requiring FFL transfers for previously unregulated parts.

Erich Pratt, Senior Vice President at Gun Owners of America, is scheduled to testify before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. His testimony will address government "attacks" on the Second Amendment, advocating for the abolition of the ATF's gun owner registry and the passage of concealed carry reciprocity. Pratt will also discuss the Department of Justice's efforts to prevent federal cases from being lost, potentially allowing future administrations to reinstate restrictive policies.
