Can eligible gun owners now purchase suppressors and short-barreled rifles without the NFA process—or could acting too quickly turn someone into an unwanted federal test case?
Cam Edwards of Bearing Arms and Cam & Company joins Mark Walters to separate the legal victory from the practical reality facing gun owners and federally licensed firearms dealers. They examine the scope of the NFA injunction, the absence of clear guidance from the Department of Justice and ATF, differences between state and federal law and unanswered questions concerning out-of-state suppressor purchases.
Cam also discusses the possibility of using the Commerce Clause to protect Second Amendment rights, legal developments involving unfinished firearm frames and receivers, the Ninth Circuit’s rejection of claims brought by gun-control advocates and the latest political attacks against Brandon Herrera.
Dr. John Lott of the Crime Prevention Research Center then reports on his international gun-rights work in Argentina and Australia. He explains how foreign gun laws and crime statistics are repeatedly used to influence American gun-control debates.
John argues that police are important but cannot always reach victims before crimes occur. If gun-rights advocates talk only about hunting and recreational shooting, they surrender the public-safety argument to the opposition. The real case for firearm freedom must include the right of vulnerable people to protect themselves.
