Bondi v. VanDerStok concerned whether the ATF's 2022 update to its regulations under the Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA), which articulated that federal law requirements that apply to the manufacture and sale of standard firearms also apply to "ghost guns" --readily convertible weapons parts or receiver kits-- exceeds the mandate of the same. The ATF argued it simply clarified what had already been true in response to the notable rise in the use of ghost guns. The challengers, including two individual gun owners and a gun advocacy organization, alleged the updated regulations exceeded the statutory authority granted to the ATF and brought a facial challenge. The Court heard oral argument on October 8, 2024.On March 26, 2025, a 7-2 Court ruled the ATF's rule is not facially inconsistent with the GCA.Join us for a Courthouse Steps Decision program where we will break down and analyze this decision and what its potential effects might be.Featuring:Zack Smith, Legal Fellow and Manager, Supreme Court and Appellate Advocacy Program, The Heritage Foundation --Note: this program has been rescheduled from its original time on 04/10/25, and will now be hosted on 04/11/25 at 12pm ET.

Supreme Court Opinions

In this case, the court considered this issue: Did the ATF exceed its statutory authority in promulgating its Final Rule purporting to regulate so-called “ghost guns”?The case was decided on March 26, 2025.The Supreme Court held that the Gun Control Act of 1968 authorizes the ATF to regulate weapon parts kits and unfinished frames or receivers that can be readily converted into functional firearms. Justice Neil Gorsuch authored the 7-2 majority opinion of the Court. Weapon parts kits qualify as “weapons” under the statute when they contain all necessary components to build a gun and their intended function is clear. Everyday language permits describing incomplete objects by their intended use, just as a disassembled rifle remains a “weapon.” The statute reinforces this understanding by treating starter guns as firearms even though they require modification. A kit like Polymer80's “Buy Build Shoot,” which can be assembled in about 20 minutes using common tools, meets the law's definition because it can be “readily converted” into a functioning firearm, just as a blocked-barrel starter gun qualifies when easily modified for live fire. While not all kits may fall under this definition, the statute clearly covers at least some, making a facial challenge to the rule invalid. The definition of “frame or receiver” also includes partially complete versions that can be finished quickly with standard tools. Ordinary language and the statute's serialization requirements support this reading, as identification numbers are required on unfinished frames and receivers. Law enforcement has long treated such components as regulated firearms, and even the challengers conceded that some unfinished frames fall within the law's scope. While some objects may be too incomplete to qualify, the statute reaches at least those requiring only minimal work, making ATF's rule facially consistent with the law. Concerns about unintended consequences under the National Firearms Act are misplaced, as the government disavowed any authority to classify AR-15 receivers as machine guns, and the doctrines of lenity and constitutional avoidance do not apply where the statute's meaning is clear.Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Brett Kavanaugh, and Ketanji Brown Jackson each joined the majority opinion and also wrote separate concurring opinions.Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito each authored dissenting opinions.The opinion is presented here in its entirety, but with citations omitted.

In this episode, we delve into the Supreme Court case that challenges the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) 2022 revisions to the Gun Control Act of 1986. These revisions introduced new definitions of key terms like "firearm," "firearm frame," and "receiver" that could have far-reaching implications for gun regulations across the country. The case revolves around whether the ATF has overstepped its authority by redefining these terms and altering the legal landscape for gun owners, manufacturers, and regulators.

This Day in Legal History: Che Guevara ExecutedOn October 9, 1967, Ernesto "Che" Guevara, a prominent figure in revolutionary movements across Latin America, was executed by Bolivian forces after being captured during a failed guerrilla campaign. Guevara was a key leader in the Cuban Revolution and sought to spread Marxist insurgencies throughout Latin America, hoping to ignite similar revolutions. His execution without a trial, carried out with the assistance of the CIA, became a controversial event, raising questions about the legal treatment of non-state actors under international law.Che Guevara's death highlighted the evolving legal frameworks for dealing with insurgencies, guerrilla warfare, and the rights of captured combatants. At the time, international law, including the Geneva Conventions, offered limited protection to guerrilla fighters, whose status as non-traditional combatants fell outside of established norms for prisoners of war. The Bolivian government's decision to execute Guevara without due process sparked widespread condemnation and intensified debates on the legality of such actions.The legacy of Che Guevara's execution extended far beyond his death, as it became a symbol of the broader struggles for political justice, human rights, and the use of state power to suppress insurgencies. His killing underscored the need for clearer international legal standards governing the treatment of insurgents, contributing to later discussions on how to apply humanitarian law to non-state actors and revolutionaries.The U.S. government may seek to force Google to break up parts of its business, such as its Chrome browser and Android operating system, to address what it argues is an illegal monopoly in online search. A judge found in August that Google's dominance—processing 90% of U.S. searches—violates antitrust laws. The Justice Department's proposed remedies aim to end Google's control over search distribution and prevent its dominance from expanding into artificial intelligence (AI). One suggestion is to stop Google from making billion-dollar payments to device manufacturers like Apple to have its search engine pre-installed as the default. Google plans to appeal, calling the proposals radical, and arguing that users choose its search engine for its quality. The company also claims it faces competition from platforms like Amazon. Additionally, a recent court ruling requires Google to allow more competition in its app store. The Justice Department's more detailed proposal will be submitted in November, and Google can respond by December.The antitrust ruling against Google could have significant consequences for smaller companies like Mozilla, which heavily relies on Google's payments to make its Firefox browser financially viable. If Google is forced to stop paying for default search positions, Mozilla could lose a substantial portion of its revenue—more than $500 million annually—putting its future in jeopardy. This would limit Mozilla's ability to compete with larger players like Apple and Microsoft, and could further consolidate market power in the hands of Big Tech.US considers breakup of Google in landmark search case | ReutersWill Google's historic monopoly lawsuit be the death knell for Mozilla and Firefox? | FortuneThe U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in the case of Oklahoma death row inmate Richard Glossip, who is seeking to have his conviction overturned for a 1997 murder-for-hire. Glossip, now 61, was convicted of paying Justin Sneed to kill Barry Van Treese, the owner of the motel where Glossip worked. Sneed, who confessed to the murder, testified against Glossip in exchange for avoiding the death penalty. Glossip admits to helping cover up the crime but denies commissioning the murder. Newly uncovered evidence suggests that prosecutors withheld information that could have helped Glossip's defense. Oklahoma's Attorney General, Gentner Drummond, now supports Glossip's appeal, acknowledging flaws in the case, though he still believes Glossip should face some punishment. Due to the attorney general's stance, the Supreme Court appointed an outside lawyer to defend the conviction.

The rule, introduced in 2022, would require serial numbers, background checks, and record-keeping for gun kits, treating them like fully assembled guns. Challengers, including gun-rights advocates, argue that the rule expands beyond the authority granted by the 1968 Gun Control Act. However, several justices, including Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Barrett, expressed skepticism about the challengers' claims, noting how easily kits can be turned into functioning firearms. The case echoes past legal battles over firearms regulation, such as the one involving bump stocks, and centers on the scope of the ATF's power.Supreme Court Signals Backing for Biden's ‘Ghost Gun' Rule (1) This is a public episode.

On this day in legal history, November 10, 1919, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a pivotal decision in Abrams v. United States, a case that profoundly impacted the interpretation of the First Amendment regarding free speech. This ruling upheld the 1918 Amendment to the Espionage Act of 1917, making it a criminal offense to urge the curtailment of war material production intended to hinder the U.S. war effort against Germany. The case originated when Hyman Rosansky was arrested for distributing leaflets in New York City, denouncing American intervention in Russia and advocating for the cessation of weapon production against Soviet Russia. These leaflets, printed in both English and Yiddish, led to the arrest of Rosansky and six other Russians, all of whom had emigrated from Russia to the United States.The trial, which concluded on October 23, 1919, resulted in varying sentences for the defendants. Gabriel Prober was acquitted, while Hyman Rosansky received a three-year sentence. Jacob Abrams, Hyman Lachowsky, and Samuel Lipman were each sentenced to 20 years and fined $1,000. Mollie Steimer received a 15-year sentence and a $5,000 fine.In a 7-2 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the defendants' First Amendment rights were not violated. Justice John Hessin Clarke, writing for the majority, argued that the intent to hinder war production could be inferred from the defendants' words, posing an imminent danger as per the "clear-and-present-danger" standard. However, in a powerful dissent, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. contended that free speech should only be curtailed when there is a clear and present danger of immediate evil or intent to bring it about. This dissent would later influence the legal understanding of free speech rights. The Abrams case was eventually largely overturned by Brandenburg v. Ohio in 1969, marking a significant shift in the legal stance on freedom of speech.The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit recently ruled that part of the ATF's regulation on "ghost guns" exceeds the agency's authority. This rule, which targets privately made firearms without serial numbers, was deemed to conflict with the Gun Control Act. Judge Kurt D. Engelhardt emphasized that it's not within the ATF's remit to create laws, a responsibility that belongs to Congress. The court affirmed that the ATF must adhere to existing statutory limits until Congress acts. The ruling vacated and remanded parts of a lower court's decision, with Circuit Judge Andrew S. Oldham critiquing the rule as overreaching. The case stems from a challenge by manufacturers, dealers, individuals, and gun-rights groups against the Biden administration's reinterpretation of the 1968 gun law. The ATF's rule aimed to regulate ghost guns by treating disassembled frames or receivers as firearms, requiring serial numbers, background checks, and transaction records. The District Court for the Northern District of Texas had previously invalidated this rule, but the Supreme Court allowed regulation to continue pending legal proceedings. The case, VanDerStok v. Garland, is part of broader efforts to increase enforcement against untraceable ghost guns.‘Ghost Guns' Rule Exceeds ATF Authority, Appeals Court HoldsUS appeals court calls Biden's 'ghost gun' limits unlawful | ReutersThe U.S. faces a significant backlog in processing labor permits, complicating efforts to manage the influx of undocumented immigrants and alleviate labor shortages. The Biden administration's move to grant temporary work permits to almost 500,000 Venezuelans is threatened by this backlog at the immigration agency. This slowdown impacts the U.S. labor market recovery, as foreign-born workers, essential during the pandemic, now contribute less to the labor force. The backlog includes around 350,000 Temporary Protected Status (TPS) applications, mostly from Venezuelans facing long wait times. Businesses like New York's Mirror Lake Inn Resort & Spa are seeking to hire migrants through TPS for various roles, highlighting the dependency on foreign labor. Despite efforts, USCIS faces challenges due to funding issues and increased processing times, exacerbated by the pandemic. The White House's expansion of the TPS program and reliance on congressional support are critical for addressing these backlogs and easing labor market pressures.A 9 Million Backlog for American Visas Deepens the Labor CrunchDonald Trump's lawyers have requested a New York judge to issue a directed verdict in his favor in a civil fraud case, marking a critical juncture in the trial threatening his business empire. This move follows the New York Attorney General's office resting its case against Trump, his two sons, and his companies, accusing them of inflating asset values for financial gain. Despite Trump and his children testifying that they relied on accountants for financial statements, evidence indicates their involvement. The attorney general seeks $250 million in penalties and a ban on Trump's real estate activities in New York. Judge Arthur Engoron, who previously found Trump and his companies committed fraud, has yet to rule on this request. Trump, facing multiple legal challenges and leading the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, has accused the judge and attorney general of political bias.Trump's lawyers mount long-shot bid to toss NY fraud lawsuit | ReutersPhilip Postlewaite, a longtime Northwestern law professor, has sued the university for age discrimination, alleging his salary is lower than that of less experienced colleagues.

Gun Capitalism & Gun Control in the U.S. after World War II

Unsung History

In 1945, the population of the United States was around 140 million people, and those Americans owned an estimated 45 million guns, or about one gun for every three people. By 2023, the population of the United States stood at just over 330 million people, and according to historical data from the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the number of guns produced and imported for the US market since 1899 exceeds 474 million firearms. Even assuming some of those guns have broken or been destroyed or illegally exported, there are easily more guns than people in the United States today. How and why the number of guns rose so precipitously in the US since World War II is our story today. Joining me to help us learn more about guns in the United States in the second half of the 20th Century is Dr. Andrew C. McKevitt, the John D. Winters Endowed Professor of History at Louisiana Tech University and author of Gun Country: Gun Capitalism, Culture, and Control in Cold War America.

In this week's No Lowballers podcast by GoWild presented by GunBroker.com, we're talking about guns that have connections … to the mob and organized crime. If you love the mobster scene and the classic mob movies, find out which of these guns you can take home to own yourself from GunBroker.com! What are some of the best mob movies of all time? We kick things off talking about the Thompson Submachine Gun a.k.a. The Tommy Gun. Is the Tommy Gun the quintessential gangster gun?? Did you know the background of this story starts near Louisville? Kentucky certainly has several more ties to the mob era–find out what other connections those are! Host Logan from High Caliber History recounts the exciting story of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, an event that made the Tommy Gun famous. Also be sure to check out The Mob Museum in Las Vegas to learn more about this and other historic events that shaped American history. Why did the military have no interest in this firearm when they first considered it? Next, we're talking about some of the handguns that have been associated with mobsters but also have had their place in the military, like the Colt 1911. Logan mentions a recognizable name in the firearm industry who has a highly unusual, ultra-modified 1911. Allen talks about why mobsters were able to out-gun police and law enforcement. We also take a hands-on look at the Smith & Wesson Military & Police .38 Special, a revolver that eventually went on to become the Smith & Wesson Model 10. We also peeked at a Colt 1903 Hammerless .32ACP. These calibers seem small by our standards today, but in their prime they brought plenty of knockdown power. Brad makes a great point about why both mobsters and military soldiers enjoyed these pocket pistols. We also talked about the game-changing National Firearms Act of 1934 and how that shaped firearm purchases for the future. This is when the federal government started to place restrictions, and more came with the Gun Control Act of 1968 and then the Hughes Amendment in 1986.

Today, gun control is one of the most polarizing topics in American politics. However, before the 1960s, positions on firearms rights did not necessarily map onto partisan affiliation. What explains this drastic shift? Patrick J. Charles charts the rise of gun rights activism from the early twentieth century through the 1980 presidential election, pinpointing the role of the 1968 Gun Control Act. Gun rights advocates including the National Rifle Association had lobbied legislators for decades, but they had cast firearms control as a local issue. After the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 spurred congressional proposals to regulate firearms, gun rights advocates found common cause with states' rights proponents opposed to civil rights legislation. Following the enactment of the Gun Control Act, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle began to stake out firm positions. Politicians including Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan recognized the potential of gun control as a wedge issue, and gun rights became increasingly tied to the Republican Party. Drawing on a vast range of archival evidence, Charles offers new insight into the evolution of the gun rights movement and how politicians responded to anti-gun control hardliners. He examines in detail how the National Rifle Association reinvented itself as well as how other advocacy groups challenged the NRA's political monopoly. Offering a deep dive into the politicization of gun rights, Vote Gun: How Gun Rights Became Politicized in the United States (Columbia University Press, 2023) reveals the origins of the acrimonious divisions that persist to this day.

Today, gun control is one of the most polarizing topics in American politics. However, before the 1960s, positions on firearms rights did not necessarily map onto partisan affiliation. What explains this drastic shift? Patrick J. Charles charts the rise of gun rights activism from the early twentieth century through the 1980 presidential election, pinpointing the role of the 1968 Gun Control Act. Gun rights advocates including the National Rifle Association had lobbied legislators for decades, but they had cast firearms control as a local issue. After the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 spurred congressional proposals to regulate firearms, gun rights advocates found common cause with states' rights proponents opposed to civil rights legislation. Following the enactment of the Gun Control Act, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle began to stake out firm positions. Politicians including Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan recognized the potential of gun control as a wedge issue, and gun rights became increasingly tied to the Republican Party. Drawing on a vast range of archival evidence, Charles offers new insight into the evolution of the gun rights movement and how politicians responded to anti-gun control hardliners.

The US Supreme Court will consider whether Hennepin County's seizure of a woman's Minneapolis condo over unpaid taxes contravened her constitutional rights. Geraldine Tyler had moved out of her home to a senior community when she ran up a tax bill of around $15,000. The county sold the property for $40,000 but refused to give Tyler the surplus. She argues that the action amounts to a Fifth Amendment taking without just compensation or an excessive fine under the Eighth Amendment.

The CMA said that its concerns could not be solved by remedies such as the sale of blockbuster title Call of Duty or other solutions involving promises to permit rivals to offer the game on their platforms. Microsoft has said that it will appeal the decision. The CMA's conclusions come before decisions from the European Union and the US Federal Trade Commission, which is waiting for a hearing in the summer. The deal would have been one of the 30 biggest acquisitions of all time. If it is eventually blocked, Microsoft could be on the hook for a break-up fee of up to $3 billion. Activision shares tumbled more than 10% in pre-market trading, while Microsoft rose 7.4%.

The tax exemption stems from a deal made with former Mayor Ed Koch to prevent teams from fleeing to New Jersey. The total tax expenditure for the exemption is over $875 million, with an ongoing annual cost of $43 million, according to the Independent Budget Office. Taxing the arena like other neighboring businesses would fund New York City's electric vehicle charging station initiatives in about four years, and one year's property tax revenue would fully fund the city's program to improve criminal case processing. However, teams that receive tax breaks frequently threaten to leave cities for better deals elsewhere, which makes cities reluctant to hold them accountable. While these venues purportedly provide benefits like job creation, studies show they may be net fiscal negatives for surrounding communities. The future of ensuring that venues pay their fair share lies in national initiatives such as the No Tax Subsidies for Stadiums Act of 2022, which aimed to eliminate tax-exemption status for bonds used to finance sports stadiums.Madison Square Garden's Tax Exemption Is a Disservice to NYCThe Sixth Circuit has ruled that bump stocks, a device that can be attached to a semi-automatic rifle to make it function like a machine gun, cannot be regulated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) under the Gun Control Act. The opinion was based on the rule of lenity, a criminal law doctrine that construes ambiguous statutes in favor of the defendant. The court noted that the ATF didn't adopt a rule treating bump stocks as a machine gun part that could be regulated until after the deadly shooting in Las Vegas in 2018, where the shooter used a rifle with a bump stock to kill 58 people. The ruling creates a circuit split, with the Tenth and D.C. circuits saying that bump stocks can be regulated, while the Fifth Circuit disagrees. Although courts generally defer to an agency's interpretation of a law they enforce, the court said that deference wasn't appropriate here. The court therefore applied the rule of lenity, which says criminal statutes must be construed strictly. Judge John K. Bush concurred in the judgment but said that it's up to Congress, not ATF, to change the law.Bump Stock Machine Gun Regulation Struck Down by Sixth Circuit Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

In November 2022, a federal district court in Texas was asked to dismiss a federal criminal charge against an individual who had been arrested for being in possession of a handgun but who had an order of protection against him. Under federal law, a part of the Gun Control Act, the pending order of protection caused the man to be classified as a “prohibited person” relative to firearms ownership or possession. That status exposed him to federal felony charges. TFA's Richard Archie reviews highlights from the Court's opinion.

Americans have been privately manufacturing and assembling firearms since before this country's founding. Now, thanks to the prevalence of commercially available firearm parts, “buy, build, shoot” kits, and 3D printers, it is easier than ever to build a gun in the comfort of one's own home, which bypasses many of the statutory and regulatory regimes that govern buying a fully built firearm from a gun store. To some, this represents a loophole in America's gun laws. Others see this as a modern innovation in the tradition of home gun building that has always existed in America. The Biden Administration shares the former view. On April 11, 2022, Attorney General Merrick Garland signed ATF Final Rule 2021R-05F. Among other measures, this rule changes the ATF's definition of “firearm frame or receiver” found in the Gun Control Act of 1968, greatly expanding the list of what is considered a firearm by the agency, and therefore what can be strictly regulated under existing federal law. Furthermore, both houses of Congress currently have bills before them designed to increase the regulation of homemade firearms, and to ban certain types of these so-called “ghost guns”. In this timely webinar, our experts will cover the ATF's Final Rule, set to go into effect on August 24, 2022, and will discuss the legal and political implications surrounding homemade firearms and the regulation thereof.

It is no longer a slippery slope fallacy to claim that after guns, they will come for metal knives, and after the metal knives, they will come for the plastic ones. Great Britain has seen a string of knife bans, to the point that it is not even legal to carry a knife if the authorities do not think that your reason is good enough. (Story from the hstoday.us below) The Church of England is literally using language like “pointy knifes” must be banned, letter below. To further the point, they are literally attempting to ban plastic cutlery for purposes of carbon footprint reduction (How will we prepare food at this rate?), again new story below. This may seem silly, but it is actually happening to knives. Many conservatives have been laughed at for even suggesting that this is the logical end of the gun debate, that all guns will be banned and knives will be next. We see that occurring in Britain in real time. When discussing the topic of Gun Control, one can easily run into the weeds of stats and lose the war for winning the battle. We need to remember from where does this type of ideology stem, and what has it produced. Note, I am a stats guy. I believe in knowing the facts, but that is only a small percentage of the conversation if you wish to win someone on the other side of the Gun Control Debate. Last week we discussed stats and common arguments, so now let's look at the origins of gun control and what the philosophy of gun control has produced in societies that have implemented it. In America, it bears merit to look at why gun control was even considered in a society that had recognized a citizen's common law right to own a firearm since the English Bill of Rights of 1688. This Bill of Rights, by the way, reinstated the rights of all to keep and bear arms. Protestants, specifically, had been stripped of this right under persecution by James II. So why would a Protestant nation even consider gun control laws, they had just left violent persecution in Europe. Many of them fought for these very reforms. So why would some of these refugees employ similar tyrannical policies? For the same reasons those in Europe oppressed the Protestants, sin and power. Looking at American History is like looking at the tale of two Americas. One America was fighting for Christ's Liberty for all, and the other living in the same sin nature in which the rest of the world wallows. The gun control issue is one of many debates that has serious philosophical implications. Either all have the right to defend themselves, as God has declared in His Word, or Man has the right to pick and choose if man has the right to self defense. When man usurps God's authority, tragedy inevitably strikes. One of the first gun laws in America was written in Virginia in 1640 specifically against the African Slaves who had been brought to the New World: “Prohibiting negroes, slave and free, from carrying weapons including clubs." (The Los Angeles Times, "To Fight Crime, Some Blacks Attack Gun Control," January 19, 1992) Also passed in 1640 Virginia was this statute: "That all such free Mulattoes, Negroes and Indians...shall appear without arms." [7 The Statues at Large; Being a Collection of all the Laws of Virginia, from the First Session of the Legislature, in the Year 1619, p. 95 (W.W. Henning ed. 1823).] (GMU CR LJ, p. 67) Virginia continued to institute such laws and was joined by South Carolina in 1712 when the latter codified a statute banning:"An act for the better ordering and governing of Negroes and slaves." [7 Statutes at Large of South Carolina, p. 353-54 (D.J. McCord ed. 1836-1873).] (GMU CR LJ, p. 70) In 1791 the 2nd Amendment was ratified, codifying the right of the people to keep and bear arms. It is important to note that the first congress almost split over the issue of slavery during our battle for independence from Britain, which truly didn't end until January 8, 1815 in New Orleans. Benjamin Franklin after having returned from France to broker the end of the French Revolutionary War brought a petition before Congress that read as such: ““Mankind are all formed by the same Almighty Being, alike objects of his care, and equally designed for the enjoyment of happiness.” All people were entitled to the “blessings of liberty . . . without distinction of color.” It noted the contradiction of slavery and freedom in the American experiment while seeking the means “for removing this inconsistency from the character of the American people,” and it called on Congress to grant “liberty to those unhappy men who alone in this land of freedom are degraded into perpetual bondage.” It advocated not only the end of the slave trade, as the Quaker petition had the day before, but the end of slavery itself.” billofrightsinstitute.org The Abolitionist case took a back seat to survival and rested until the decadespreceding the Civil War which, however complex, was at least in part foslavery. In those decades marching up to the Civil War many states passed other egregious gun laws. In 1825 Florida enstated a law allowing local authorities to ransack Melanated homes (slave or free) for the purposes of confiscating any weapons of any sort (even a cane could be considered contraband. In 1828 Florida did in fact reverse somewhat to allow Free Melanated people to own firearms, only with a license. (Because you know you can't trust some sorts of people so we need licenses. This argument has become no less immoral with time.) In 1831 Florrida reversed again and repealed all licenses held by melanated people. (If God is not the one endowing us with our rights, and government is, then our rights are based on elections and political whimsy.) In 1857 the Dredd Scott vs Sandford case, one of the worst cases of jurisprudence ever seen in America, the court upheld the following: Fro Chief Justice Taney: “if members of the African race were "citizens" they would be exempt from the special "police regulations" applicable to them. "It would give to persons of the negro race...full liberty of speech...to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to keep and carry arms wherever they went." (Id. p. 417) U.S. Supreme Court held that descendants of Africans who were imported into this country and sold as slaves were not included nor intended to be included under the word "citizens" in the Constitution, whether emancipated or not, and remained without rights or privileges except such as those which the government might grant them, thereby upholding slavery. Also held that a slave did not become free when taken into a free state; that Congress cannot bar slavery in any territory; and that blacks could not be citizens.” After the Civil War, the reconstruction era saw the above laws “Slave Codes” become “Black Codes”. These often banned Melanated ownership of firearms without a license. The Civil Rights Act of 1866 was meant to overturn these and the 14th Amendment reinforced the CRA of 1866, but states continued in their sin. “Opponents of the 14th Amendment objected to its adoption because they opposed federal enforcement of the freedoms in the bill of rights. Sen. Thomas A. Hendricks (D-Ind.) said "if this amendment be adopted we will then carry the title [of citizenship] and enjoy its advantages in common with the negroes, the coolies, and the Indians." [CONG. GLOBE, 39th Congress, 1st Session, pt. 3, 2939 (4 June 1866)]. Sen. Reverdy Johnson, counsel for the slave owner in Dred Scott, opposed the amendment because "it is quite objectionable to provide that 'no State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States'." Thus, the 14th Amendment was viewed as necessary to buttress the Civil Rights Act of 1866, especially since the act "is pronounced void by the jurists and courts of the South," e.g. Florida has as "a misdemeanor for colored men to carry weapons...and the punishment...is whipping..." [CONG GLOBE, 39th Con., 1st Session, 504, pt. 4, 3210 (16 June 1866)].” The KKK was formed the same year in 1866, primarily by Democrats who felt as Thomas Hendricks did. This organization and those who held hate in their hearts towards the freed slaves wanted gun control to make their business of oppression easier. Saturday Night Special Laws were concocted and enacted to make inexpensive firearms “Saturday Night Specials'' difficult to obtain. This made it difficult to afford a firearm for all of those who the left saw as undesirable, especially the melanated individuals, but also the Appalachian and Italian, who were also connoted with “higher criminality and lower breeding”. Remember, these were the same people who were enthralled with eugenics and thought the poor and slaves were in these circumstances because of their genetics and nature. In 1911, the Sullivan Law was enacted. This law required police permission to obtain a permit to own a handgun. Again, the Southern Italian was also specifically singled out as particularly criminal in nature, as well as the more melanated African American. In 1934 the National Firearms Act was passed to prevent the ownership of firearms that were considered too dangerous to be left in the hands of the common folk. Firearms under this law were still available if you were to ask for a license and pay a tax equal to that of a used automobile. In 1941 Florida a judge admitted to the unequal administration of a gun control law: “In concurring opinion narrowly construing a Florida gun control law passed in 1893, Justice Buford stated the 1893 law "was passed when there was a great influx of negro laborers in this State....The same condition existed when the Act was amended in 1901 and the Act was passed for the purpose of disarming the negro laborers....The statute was never intended to be applied to the white population and in practice has never been so applied...". Watson v. Stone, 148 Fla. 516, 524, 4 So.2d 700, 703 (1941) (GMU CR LJ, p. 69)” After MLK was assasinated in 1968, the Gun Control Act of 1968 was passed and Robert Sherril, an avowed anti-gun journalist admitted that: “that the Gun Control Act of 1968 was "passed not to control guns but to control Blacks." [R. Sherrill, The Saturday Night Special, p. 280 (1972).] (GMU CR LJ, p. 80) "The Gun Control Act of 1968 was passed not to control guns but to control blacks, and inasmuch as a majority of Congress did not want to do the former but were ashamed to show that their goal was the latter, the result was they did neither. Indeed, this law, the first gun-control law passed by Congress in thirty years, was one of the grand jokes of our time. First of all, bear in mind that it was not passed in one piece but was a combination of two laws. The original 1968 Act was passed to control handguns after the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., had been assassinated with a rifle. Then it was repealed and repassed to include the control of rifles and shotguns after the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy with a handgun.... The moralists of our federal legislature as well as sentimental editorial writers insist that the Act of 1968 was a kind of memorial to King and Robert Kennedy. If so, it was certainly a weird memorial, as can be seen not merely by the handgun/long-gun shellgame, but from the inapplicability of the law to their deaths." (The Saturday Night Special and Other Guns, Robert Sherrill, p. 280, 1972)” In 1994 Clinton introduced HR 3838 to ban firearms in government housing, people who need to be able to protect themselves more than most. All of this to say, Britain's gun and knife bans have not worked, Australia's bans have done little, Stalin, Hitler, and Mao's bans accomplished exactly what they wished. Why would we in America continue the regressive and Anti-God philosophy of Gun Control. Let us live in Liberty, but with responsibility. Those who commit heinous acts should be held to account, but we can also deter them with an armed populace.

Biden To Announce New Rule Cracking Down On Ghost Guns

United States President Joe Biden is set to announce a new Department of Justice rule meant to crack down on so-called ghost guns. The White House says the weapons, which can be bought as kits to be assembled at home and lack federal tracking serial numbers, have been increasingly recovered at crime scenes across the US in recent years. The new DoJ rule says that manufacturers of some types of ghost gun kits will be subject to the same restrictions as firearm manufacturers under the Gun Control Act. The rule would also require federally licensed dealers and gunsmiths who receive guns without serial numbers to serialise the weapon with federal authorities before selling it to a customer.

Riding Shotgun With Charlie#130Ashley HlebinskyFirearm HistorianThe DC Project Ashley Hlebinsky is THE coolest firearm historian you'll ever meet! We were both speakers at AMMcon (hosted by the Second Amendment Foundation) in Dallas recently. Since she is a historian and we were in Dallas there is only one place for us to visit: Dealey Plaza. Of course, you know this is where Kennedy was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald. I LOVE the Kennedy assassination conspiracies! All of them. And while watching any documentary on it, I will buy whatever theory they're selling. But not Ashley. She likes the real story! Ashley wanted to be a doctor like many folks, but she was interested in battlefield medicine which led to firearms and firearm history. Ted Koppel said about her, she wanted to learn to save lives then to things that could take lives. But she's really into much more about how firearms work, how the evolution of firearms has changed, and its impact on the industry, technology, society, and culture. One of her personal interests is in guns used in crimes. Many museums don't want to bring up the firearms used in crimes, but Ashely really enjoys that part of the story about firearms. She says that not knowing about firearms leads museums to put some wrong firearms on display. This is where she really enjoys working, coming up with how a firearm used in a crime can be a valid and educational display at a museum. During her undergrad years after she changed majors, she was doing as much as she could including volunteering, internships, researching, and learning to shoot. While a senior in college, Ashley was able to parlay internships into getting hired by the Smithsonian. She was able to go from the Smithsonian to the Cody Firearms Museum in Wyoming, where she ran just about everything behind the scenes and all the displays for the exhibitions, collections, and education. Once we get to Dealey Plaza, the conversation turns to the Kennedy assassination and what was going on during the 1960's and many of the various conspiracies. We do get some selfies at the School Book Depository, the grassy knoll, and the two X's where the bullets hit Kennedy. Ashley brings up what she calls the Post World War II era and how the turbulent times and several assassinations lead to the Gun Control Act of 1968. We talk about the possibility of Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe ties to the Kennedys, the similarities between Lincoln & Kennedy. And other irrelevant and interesting topics. Including James Earl Jones, where the Carcano rifle is, and the FBI trying to get Martin Luther King, Jr to commit suicide. Besides everything that Ashley is involved with she's also with The DC Project. She testified in front of Congress. She's a producer of TV shows on the paranormal on the TRVL Channel and several shows for Brother in Arms and Midway USA's Gun Stories. Ashley was a great sport going to Dealey Plaza and taking the conversation in several places. I'm glad that I was able to have her as part of the Stagecoach Across America. Favorite quotes: “Personally, I'm more fascinated by guns used in crime and how to interrupt them than guns not used in crime.” “A lot of people want to work in the gun vault. And he said I was the only person that he actually thought could do it.” “When I go to a museum, I don't like to read. I'm there to see the stuff.” “Because there's so much armed radicalism, the government starts doing some crazy stuff.” “I wouldn't be surprised if it was an inside job. Because they're doing kinds of stuff for the benefit of I'm not sure who. ” Ashley Hlebinsky Instagram https://www.instagram.com/historyinheels/ Ashley Hlebinsky Facebook https://www.facebook.com/officialashleyhlebinsky Ashley Hlebinsky Twitter https://twitter.com/ashleyhlebinsky The DC Project https://www.dcproject.info/ Gun Freedom Radio https://gunfreedomradio.com/ Pot of Gold Estate Auctions https://potofgoldestate.com/ Second Amendment Foundation http://saf.org/ Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms https://www.ccrkba.org/ Please support the Riding Shotgun With Charlie sponsors and supporters.

On this episode of the Resistance Library Podcast Sam and Dave discuss the prison industrial complex in the United States. "Where you find the laws most numerous, there you will find also the greatest injustice." - Arcesilaus, Greek philosopher and student of Plato on power and personal sovereignty There's no two ways about it: The United States of America and its 50 state governments love putting people in prison. The U.S. has both the highest number of prisoners and the highest per capita incarceration rate in the modern world at 655 adults per 100,000. (It's worth noting that China's incarceration statistics are dubious, and they execute far more people than the United States. Indeed, the so-called People's Republic executes more people annually than the rest of the world combined.) Still, that's more than 2.2 million Americans in state and federal prisons as well as county jails. On top of those currently serving time, 4.7 million Americans were on parole in 2016, or about one in 56. These numbers do not include people on probation, which raises the number to one in 35. Nor does it include all of the Americans who have been arrested at one time or another, which is over 70 million – more than the population of France. For firearm owners in particular, the growth in this “prison-industrial complex” is troubling because felons are forbidden from owning firearms and ammunition under the 1968 Gun Control Act. As the number of laws has grown and the cultural shift for police has gone from a focus on keeping the peace to enforcing the law, more and more Americans are being stripped of their 2nd Amendment rights (not to mention other civil rights like voting – as of 2017, 6.1 million Americans cannot vote because of their criminal records). All told, eight percent of all Americans cannot own firearms because of a felony conviction. For American society as a whole, the prison-industrial complex has created a perverse incentive structure. Bad laws drive out respect for good laws because there are just so many laws (not to mention rules, regulations, and other prohibitions used by federal prosecutors to pin crimes on just about anyone).

On the sixth installment of our series on the history of US gun control, we examine the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986, which was the result of a Senate investigation in 1982 that detailed the litany of entrapment and malicious prosecution of gun owners and dealers by the ATF. After finding that 75% of charges it filed were spurious at best, Congress made an attempt to rein the ATF in. The FOPA revised several parts of the Gun Control Act of 1968, added some protections for travelers, and banned manufacture of new automatic weapons.

These weapons, which are typically made of plastic and allow users to bypass background checks and registration regulations, are assembled from kits that can be purchased online, providing an easy way of obtaining firearms for people with criminal records. For example, if you are banned from owning guns in a state with universal background checks, you won’t be able to walk into a store and purchase a gun — but, if you order the parts for that gun online and assemble it yourself, it’s likely that nobody will know.US law allows for the creation and possession of these ghost guns for personal use, while pre-assembled firearms made available for sale or distribution must bear their maker's markings and unique serial numbers. Furthermore, as per the 1968 Gun Control Act, a federal license is required to manufacture them.However, the Act provided an exemption for people who make their own firearms for personal use, and the 1993 Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, which established the federal background check system, included a similar allowance for homemade weapons. To put it plainly, it’s perfectly legal for Americans to build their own untraceable, unregistered firearms.To understand why weapons of this nature present such a threat to public safety, host JJ is joined by Steve Lindley, ghost gun expert and Brady Program Manager, and Kyleanne Hunter, Brady's VP of Programs.Mentioned in this podcast:Tell the ATF to take action on ghost guns (Brady)What are ghost guns?

GunFreedomRadio EP197 The Ameri-CAN Series: Can Gun Rights Prevent Genocides? with Jeff Kelman

We are doing a series called Ameri-CAN. Talking about the CAN-DO spirit that is part of our American DNA. So much about our lives has been turned upside down by this Corona Virus / Covid-19, and we have been hearing a lot about what we CAN’T do and where we CAN’T go, but our guests during this series are going to talk to us about their area of expertise and all of the ways we still CAN learn and grow, train, connect, and expand our freedoms in ways we maybe haven’t thought about before. Our guest today is Jeff Kelman. Jeff grew up in an anti-gun family and it wasn’t until he was a teenager before he realized that it is actually legal for civilians to own guns in the United States. As a young adult Jeff purchased his first firearm and began understanding the responsibility of gun ownership, and became interested in researching the history of laws restricting owning guns around the world, and how those laws intersect with the Holocaust and other genocides. 1) How do the laws in pre-Nazi Germany relate to the laws that have been implemented here in the United States? (The Nazi "Weapons Law" of 1938 that U.S. Senator Thomas J. Dodd used as a partial template for the Gun Control Act of 1968.) 2) The Anti-Rights / Anti-Gun crowd are always fond of using phrases like “Common Sense Gun Laws” to make them sound reasonable and warm and fuzzy. Among the types of laws they want to implement are registration and licensing. Historically speaking, how have these kinds of measures worked out for the citizens who complied? 3) Over the past few weeks, we have been watching Mayors across the nation urging their citizens to “snitch” on each other for things as simple as being outside enjoying some fresh air. In Los Angeles the Mayor went so far as to dangle a carrot by saying, quote, “Snitches get rewards”. As soon as I heard that, my mind went to the Red Flag Gun Laws that are being pushed for by politicians all over the nation, and that can result in anonymous “tips” leading to a citizen’s door being kicked in and their guns being forcefully confiscated. Not due to any crime that person committed, but simply because a snitch doesn’t feel comfortable that the other person owns something they don’t like. How does all of this relate to what you have seen in World History? 4) We are currently watching American citizens give up important and Constitutionally protected freedoms and liberty because we are navigating something we have never seen before, this worldwide pandemic. We could call it the "psychology of the unknown” impacting how compliant or defiant humans are in any given circumstance. Thinking back to the time before the Holocaust, we often want to use our hind site and say - if the Jewish people had had firearms they would have fought back and prevented the atrocities. I have to believe that at some point they would have, once the reality of what was happening really set in. But, what has your research shown you about that assertion? 5) What has your research shown you about why, traditionally speaking, Jewish Americans tend to be against gun ownership? That seems counter-intuitive, considering the number of times Jews have been persecuted across time and across the globe. 6) You are still in the process of gathering research for your Master’s Thesis, but is there an overarching message that you could come to about the importance of firearms ownership in being and remaining a free and sovereign individual who is a citizen of a free and sovereign nation? Do guns matter? 7) I (Cheryl Todd) am part of a Pro-Rights / Pro-Gun Women’s group called The DC Project. We assert that the key to preserving liberty and safety is Education Not Legislation. Is there anything specific in your research that would support this assertion?

In our next installment on the history of American gun control, we humbly present to you a unique take on the Gun Control Act of 1968, the law that established everybody's favorite government overreach, the Federal Firearms Licensee system!Many people on both sides of the debate invoke Hitler, just like any other issue. The pro-gunners often comment on the Nazis disarmament schemes, and they're partially correct. But the legacy of Nazi gun-grabbing lives on in United States Code today, in the Gun Control Act of 1968. It's not well known that there's a striking similarity in the text of that law, the Weimar Germany gun laws of the 1920s and the 1938 Nazi firearms law passed by Hitler's Reichstag. And to top it all off, the GCA's principal sponsor, Sen. Thomas Dodd, owned a German copy of the Nazi law and had the Library of Congress translate it in 1968, while drafting his own version that became the GCA!!We go over this disturbing fact and the political context that spawned the crises of the 1960s that the Feds exploited to carve out more red tape for your privileges....ahem, I mean rights.

*** Interesting discussion involving NRA history, their history ot being "PRO-Gun Control," and a history of corruption and mis-used funds that really detract from the mission of the NRA which is sadly needed more than ever. We talked about how the Left completely distorts and reverses the meaning of the Second Amendment, and how government at all levels violates it. We need a powerful NRA, but for conservatives it's no where near as powerful an advocate of the Second Amendment as it could be. We also had our Creek Tribe Report with Vice Chief Dan Helms 30 minutes in, and at 45 minutes in our new Vaccine Project Admin Bri Young from Hawaii who spent about 45 minutes going over many aspects of the vaccine problem. Last half hour I talked through an article pointing out exactly how the NRA actually wrote and supported major gun control laws, from the 1920's to the 1968 Gun Control Act.

In 1971, attorney Robert Kukla authored "Gun Control", a look back at the founding of the modern gun control movement in the 1960's and its push for sweeping anti-gun legislation that resulted in the Gun Control Act of 1968. From the anti-NRA media campaigns to anti-gun politicians hoping to capitalize on tragedy and more, Cam documents the many ways in which the gun control debate today resembles the fight of 50 years ago, and what 2nd Amendment supporters can learn from the legislative battles back then.

Massachusetts Attorney General Unilaterally Changes Gun Laws http://www.mass.gov/ago/public-safety/awbe.html Without any prior notice or public hearings and while the legislature is on break for national conventions the Massachusetts Attorney General, Maura Healey, has issued an “Enforcement Notice” to firearm retailers throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts changing the longstanding definition of so-called “Assault Weapons”. For nearly 18 years since the passage of the 1998 Gun Control Act firearm retailers, gun owners and state agencies have been operating under the same interpretation. Now, suddenly, without warning or any due process a single person with a clear political agenda decides to change the rules. All Massachusetts residents should be alarmed! GOAL is currently trying to decipher the enforcement letter, but with as much information that it contains, it is not very clear what it means. Statements such as the following make it very convoluted: “… a weapon is a Copy or Duplicate, for example, if the operating system and firing mechanism of the weapon are based on or otherwise substantially similar to one of the Enumerated Weapons.” Virtually every semi-automatic that utilizes a detachable magazine has the same operating system or firing mechanism, so what does this mean? The short answer is we simply don't know. Our best advice to firearm retailers for now is to err on the side of caution. These new rules may cover a lot more than just what we might think. GOAL is working with people and groups around the State and the nation to clarify these new interpretations and decide the best course of action. One thing is certain that this new interpretation is purely a political stunt and has nothing to do with public safety or real law. Jim Wallace Executive Director
