RapidFire Radio Ep. 206 with Kerry Slone

This video from Guns & Gadgets details a lawsuit filed by Philadelphia against Glock, alleging the manufacturer contributes to crime through marketing practices that allegedly encourage illegal modifications like Glock switches.

The case could set a precedent for future lawsuits against firearms manufacturers.

This video breaks down the confusing and contradictory statements from the DOJ and ATF regarding the return of the pistol brace ban. Despite a court ruling vacating the previous rule, the DOJ has indicated they may still enforce existing laws against certain braced pistols, creating significant confusion for gun owners. The discussion highlights the potential for new criteria that could reclassify braced pistols as Short-Barreled Rifles (SBRs) and the ongoing debate over firearm classification based on design versus incidental use.

This video from Guns & Gadgets details Kansas House Bill 2501, a significant legislative shift in firearm regulation. The bill decriminalizes the possession, manufacture, and sale of suppressors and short-barreled shotguns at the state level, while simultaneously increasing penalties for criminals who misuse firearms. It also establishes a firearm hold agreement for gun owners to temporarily store firearms with licensed dealers, offering civil immunity to dealers. The bill represents a strategic move towards punishing misuse rather than banning items, aligning with constitutional principles and historical firearm regulation.

This video explains why the Supreme Court frequently rejects Second Amendment cases, despite the landmark NYSRPA v. Bruen decision. The Court's selective case acceptance, preference for lower court 'percolation,' and philosophy of judicial restraint contribute to this phenomenon. The current legal battles for Second Amendment rights are primarily unfolding in lower federal courts, with the Supreme Court likely to intervene as circuit splits emerge.

William Kirk, President of Washington Gun Law, provides a critical overview of the legal and political landscape for gun owners in Illinois. He discusses the 'Protect Illinois' Communities Act' (PICA) and ongoing legal challenges, highlighting key Supreme Court cases that could impact state-level bans. Kirk emphasizes the importance of voter participation, particularly among the state's 2.48 million FOID card holders, to effect meaningful change.

This video discusses the ongoing fight to overturn Chapter 135, a law that has been enforced immediately via an emergency preamble, bypassing democratic processes. The "Civil Rights Coalition" is initiating "Phase Two" of their campaign, aiming to educate voters and raise awareness over the next 18 months. The focus is on protecting fundamental rights, particularly the Second Amendment, from what they describe as government overreach and the potential for politicians to restrict constitutional freedoms. They emphasize the urgency of action and the goal of empowering the people to decide the future of their rights in 2026.
