About This Episode:
Today, Riley Bowman and Jacob Paulsen are bringing you our Legislative and Legal Updates episode — and August may have been the single biggest month for gun law in decades. Two federal courts struck down long-standing rules, the DOJ reversed a decades-old position on carrying in post offices, New Mexico's waiting period finally died, and the FBI quietly released a crime report that nobody on the other side seems eager to talk about. California, meanwhile, just sent three more bills to the Governor's desk.
But the big one is the NFA. You've seen the headlines saying it's dead. Riley read the actual court order, and it isn't — not for most of you. He also thinks the Justice Department made a serious mistake in how it handled the win, and that's the part almost nobody is talking about. Jacob pushes back. Tune in so you don't miss!
