Washington's Upcoming Three-Pronged Attack on Your Second Amendment Rights

This video from Washington Gun Law TV discusses potential US Supreme Court actions regarding firearm bans. President William Kirk explains the concept of a GVR (Grant, Vacate, Remand) as a likely outcome for five pending cases challenging assault weapon and magazine bans. He details how recent Supreme Court rulings, particularly in *Wolf v. Lopez*, redefine what constitutes 'arms' under the Second Amendment, potentially invalidating lower court decisions that upheld these bans.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of the Supreme Court's decision in Wolford v. Lopez, which struck down Hawaii's 'vampire rule' on firearm carry. The discussion, led by legal experts from Armed Attorneys, clarifies how the ruling upholds the principles established in NYSRPA v. Bruin, emphasizing the historical and traditional basis for Second Amendment rights. It details the court's reasoning in rejecting Hawaii's attempts to justify its restrictive law by examining the 'how' and 'why' of historical firearm regulations, finding no valid analogs for their modern restrictions.

The DOJ has formally challenged California's impending Glock ban (AB 1127) and its handgun roster, citing violations of the Second Amendment. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dillon has authorized a federal lawsuit, arguing that these laws infringe upon the rights of law-abiding citizens to acquire modern handguns for self-defense. The DOJ is offering pre-suit negotiations but demands immediate cessation of enforcement, acknowledgment of unconstitutionality, and a consent decree.

This video analyzes the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals' decision in *United States v. Kamu*, which found that suppressors are 'arms' protected by the Second Amendment. While this is a positive step, the court was bound by the prior *US v. Peterson* decision, which upheld the NFA's registration scheme as constitutional. The speaker, a constitutional attorney, argues that *Peterson* was wrongly decided and that the NFA registration requirement likely violates the Second Amendment, citing historical precedent and dissenting opinions within the *Kamu* case itself.

This video from Washington Gun Law TV analyzes the legal challenge in Mosher v. Nestle against Michigan's License to Purchase (LTP) firearm regime. President William Kirk argues that pre-purchasing licensing, like Michigan's LTP, is more dangerous than platform bans as it converts an inalienable right into a government-controlled privilege. The challenge asserts that Michigan's LTP law lacks historical pedigree required by Bruin, is abusive, and violates the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause due to inadequate procedural safeguards and an undefined probable cause standard for denial. The video highlights the redundancy of the LTP process with federal background checks and the creation of a centralized database, which may violate federal law.

This video details a significant legal victory for gun owners, with a federal court in Texas vacating the Biden administration's 'engaged in business' rule promulgated by the ATF. Judge Matthew Kaczmarek ruled the rule illegal and unconstitutional, effectively nullifying it for all Americans, not just the parties involved in the lawsuit. The decision is presented as a major win against efforts to expand gun registration and control.

This video, featuring legal expert William Kirk, delves into the complex legalities of using deadly force against law enforcement officers when faced with unlawful aggression. It clarifies the foundational principles of self-defense, including necessity, reasonableness, and proportionality, and outlines the four legal justifications for employing lethal force. The discussion highlights the protections afforded by the Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground laws, particularly within one's home, and differentiates between the legal right to self-defense and the tactical considerations of engaging with law enforcement.

This video features William Kirk, President of Washington Gun Law, an expert in firearms law, discussing the growing trend of county sheriffs and state associations opposing federal gun control measures. The primary focus is on Arkansas, detailing Act 1012 and Arkansas Code 21-1-904, which aim to prevent state cooperation with federal enforcement of certain firearms regulations, particularly the ATF's rule on pistol stabilizing braces.

William Kirk, President of Washington Gun Law, provides expert insights into ATF firearm inspection authority. He clarifies that the ATF cannot demand inspections of non-NFA firearms or NFA items without a warrant, dispelling common misconceptions about Fourth Amendment rights for firearm owners.
