922(g)(8) defines anyone subject to a restraining order as being prohibited from possessing firearms.
I assume the court is just striking the blanket ban, and would allow prohibition as an individual term in a restraining order. This will likely accelerate the spread of red-flag laws (until...
SCOTUS already shut down the former in Gonzales v. Raich, and circuit courts have quashed the latter, citing Raich. So I don't think NJ will have a leg to stand on if that's their argument.
She's his daughter, but yeah it's just a gender swap for gender swapping's sake. They can't even make a plot element out of her maybe being treated differently as a female judge because even depicting that wouldn't be "woke."
Also worth noting that if you plan to car carry in IL you must now also comply with the "assault weapon" ban. The most notable bits are no mags over 15 rounds and no threaded barrels.
IIRC it was related to some petition from WWII re-enactors wanting period-accurate weapons. I think it comes down to the fact IL legislature can't do anything in a simple, straightforward manner. They always have to throw in hoops to jump through for the sake of making people jump through hoops.
IL actually allowed SBRs a few years ago, but you need an FFL 03 (C&R license) to have one with an OAL <26in (<16in barrel with >26 OAL is fine without FFL)
Well then we are back to the rule being published and thus the exemption granted in the rule applies, which give you 120 days to apply for a stamp or render your SBR not an SBR.
If you are concerned just remove the brace (rendering it a pistol) until you have your stamp in hand, then attach...
Not only that, but a bazooka and the ammo for a bazooka are the same thing. The bazooka itself is little more than a tube.
(also there=they're, sorry I can't help it.)
Which is odd because it would mean that such braced shotguns have always been considered NFA-regulated SBS and makes one wonder why SB was ever allowed to sell such adapters in the first place.
But then again a "collection of parts" from which an SBR or SBS can be assembled is not legislatively...
I think it's born out of a desire to register as many firearms as they can. I suspect the ATF would rather everyone have a registered SBR than an unregistered pistol. Not for any specific nefarious purpose, but because they want to keep tabs on everything and everyone (insofar as that isn't a...
If you fail the check that means you are a prohibited person, so it doesn't matter if the rifle you have has been made into an SBR yet or not, you are a felon (or other prohibited person) in possession of a firearm. How do they handle that now?
The rule itself is only about 20 pages (still very long for what its accomplishing) the rest is responses to comments they received on the proposed rule.
I expect it will be however they handle it now if you get denied.
That's a different question than the background check issue, and they've said as long as the Form 1 was submitted within the 120 day window you're good until the stamp is issued.
But no I don't trust it all to work out...
As much as I hate to be the one defending the ATF, I really don't see it happening that way. They won't be opening 4 million background checks on day one, they'll be processing however many they normally process at once, so the system will be under no more stress than is already is.
Since Form...
