The top Second Amendment priority for the Trump Administration should be to urge the Supreme Court to rule on pending cases immediately, rather than allowing them to be sent back to lower courts. This would provide decisive rulings on issues like assault weapons bans and magazine limits, and help restore citizens' constitutional rights.
The Supreme Court denied review in US v. Peterson, a case challenging the National Firearms Act (NFA) as applied to suppressors. The Fifth Circuit's ruling, which upheld the NFA by likening it to a 'shall issue' licensing scheme, now stands as precedent in that circuit. This decision has significant implications for future Second Amendment challenges to firearms regulations, potentially allowing broader government control over protected arms under the guise of objective licensing.
