Saying Goodbye to 80% Lowers, Nationwide

This video discusses two state bills, one in West Virginia (SB 1071) and one in Kentucky (HB 749), that aim to allow state governments to sell machine guns to citizens. These bills leverage a perceived loophole in the Firearm Owners Protection Act and the Hughes Amendment, which bans civilian ownership of machine guns manufactured after May 19, 1986. The core argument is that the federal ban does not apply to transfers involving government entities, a principle recently argued by the DOJ in New Jersey v. Bondi. The proposed state programs would establish an 'Office of Public Defense' to acquire and transfer machine guns, similar to those used by law enforcement, to qualified citizens after a NICS background check.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a lawsuit against Washington D.C. challenging its 'assault weapons' ban. The suit argues that D.C.'s ban, which prohibits commonly used semi-automatic firearms like the AR-15 based on cosmetic features rather than common lawful use, lacks legal basis and historical tradition, citing Supreme Court precedents from Heller and Bruen. This action aims to allow law-abiding citizens to legally possess and register firearms currently banned by the city.

William Kirk from Washington Gun Law clarifies that the ATF cannot demand inspection of non-NFA firearms without a warrant. While NFA ownership doesn't waive Fourth Amendment rights, FFLs are subject to annual inspections, a rule not applicable to private individuals. If ATF agents arrive without a warrant, consent is typically required, and politely declining is advised.
