Raoul* case challenging the state's PICA law and the significant *Benson v. United States* ruling that struck down a magazine ban in Washington D.C.

United States declared magazine bans holding more than 10 rounds unconstitutional, citing Second Amendment protections and common use. This decision creates a significant 'circuit split' with other federal courts, increasing pressure on the Supreme Court to review cases like Duncan v. Bonta (California), Cheeseman v. Platkin (New Jersey), and Barnett v. Raoul (Illinois), potentially leading to a landmark nationwide decision on firearm and magazine restrictions.

This video, featuring William Kirk of Washington Gun Law, details how sheriffs in Arkansas are pushing back against federal gun control measures, particularly the ATF's pistol brace rule. It highlights Arkansas Act 1012 and state code 21-1-904, which aim to prevent state and local officials from enforcing federal firearms regulations deemed unconstitutional infringements on Second Amendment rights. The Arkansas Sheriff's Association has officially stated their non-support for enforcing such rules, prioritizing focus on violent offenders.

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.
