Opponents argue it creates an insurmountable barrier, particularly for women, minorities, and low-income citizens, and may conflict with the Supreme Court's Bruen decision. The bill has passed the Public Safety Committee, with the Appropriations Committee being a potential final hurdle.

This video explains why the Supreme Court frequently rejects Second Amendment cases, despite the landmark NYSRPA v. Bruen decision.

The expert commentary highlights the ATF's inconsistent stance and advises citizens to always demand a warrant.

This video, titled 'We Told You So #ATF', likely discusses recent developments or pronouncements from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

The description provides links to support GOA, indicating a focus on advocacy and potentially legal or political aspects of firearm ownership and regulation. Expect commentary on ATF policies and their impact on gun owners.
