Hey everybody, how's it going? Welcome back to Copper Jacket TV. So, you know, it's difficult enough to live in a state that prohibits you from owning any type of magazine that can hold more than 10 rounds. But then, on top of that, they make it as difficult for you as possible to even get the rounds to put in it. So today, we're going to be talking about a big update in Rhode V. Bonta. If you don't know what that case is, it's a case that challenges California's background check scheme for ammunition. That's been a big problem in California all across the state. You're seeing a lot of false positives, a lot of people walking into the shop to get what they need, and they're forced to walk out empty-handed, even though they're law-abiding eligible people. It's been a big problem; it's now a big problem in New York. But again, this case, Rhode V. Bonta, it's been going on for quite a bit. It's currently sitting in front of Judge Benitez, and we have some pretty big updates, like I was saying before. So let's talk about what's going on and what we can expect. I think California's ammunition background checks are over.

Hey, real quick, I want to thank you all very much for watching. I really do appreciate it. I am on my final push to 500,000 subscribers—half a million subscribers. I honestly never thought that I would ever say that. When I had 10 subscribers, I was extremely excited and thrilled and happy to be doing what I was doing. At the time, there wasn't really anybody talking about California laws or anything like that, to be honest with you. So I tried to push myself out there to let people know what was going on, and we've been growing, and now we're really, really close to hitting that 500,000. So if you are not subscribed and you're watching this video, it would mean the world to me if you would hit that subscribe button. It's free; it only takes a second, but it gets us just that little bit closer to that 500,000 mark. Half a million would be fantastic. So again, anybody that's watching that decides to do that, thank you all very much. And if you don't, still, I appreciate you stopping by. Let's get to the video.

Okay, so let's go and talk about what's going on here. Now you might remember that I made a video just over a month ago talking about how the plaintiffs and the defendants—the state being the defendants in this case—met before Judge Benitez. The reason why is because the state wanted more time to find some type of historical analog post-Bruan that could prove that their law should exist as it is today because Bruan says that there has to be some type of historical relevance that existed between the ratification of the Second Amendment in 1791 to the Reconstruction Era. If California couldn't find a similar law that existed and was held up back then, then their law is fundamentally unconstitutional as it stands today. California wanted more time to be able to do that, even though this case has been going on for a long time. But you have to remember that a majority of this case existed prior to Bruan, so that wasn't necessarily a requirement. Well, being a patient person, Judge Benitez granted them that time to do that. And I got to be honest, when they came back with their reply just recently, it's absolutely stunning the stuff that they came up with as some type of historical analog. I mean, it is unbelievable and racist.

So, we got both responses in, and now everything is before Benitez, and now it's basically over. We are waiting now for a decision in this case from Benitez, whether or not this whole ammo background thing is unconstitutional. But let me go ahead and talk to you about a couple of the responses both from the state, the defendants, and from the plaintiffs in this case.

Okay, so let's just briefly summarize California's responses. And I've got to be honest with you, like I said before, a lot of them were just racist. I mean, they were from an era where the slaves who were just freed weren't actually considered to be part of the people under the Constitution. And so, a lot of southern states were creating laws that would keep them from owning arms because again, they weren't protected by the Constitution as the people. And we know that that's no longer the case, and it hasn't been the case for quite a while. But California still wants to use that to justify their background checks as they stand today. A lot of the other stuff that was presented by California really, to me, seemed to have no relevance to the law at all. So, it didn't serve as a historical analog whatsoever, and I think that's pointed out very well by the plaintiffs in this case. And you guys will see that if I just read you just the first paragraph here of California, or excuse me, of the plaintiff's response of Ro's response to the state. So, the plaintiffs in this case, the ones who are trying to overturn California's law, say the state again fails to identify a single such law in its new declarations, let alone any tradition of such laws. Not one of the laws cited by the state's purported experts remotely resembles any of California's first-of-their-kind laws. That is the end of the analysis here. Now the plaintiffs go on in this final response that was just filed to Judge Bonz by basically tearing down all of the historical analogs and declarations that were given by California's so-called experts in this case. I'll give you one of them; this is probably the one that came the closest because they all fell completely short of being even somewhat relevant to California's laws that stand today. And they didn't even use the correct timeline, so a lot of them just don't even count, to begin with.

But it says here, number one, the Spitzer declaration. Spitzer's basic premise is that firearms and ammunition licensing laws have been prevalent throughout American history. As an initial matter, few of the licensing laws that Spitzer cites are from before 1868. Now, like I said in the beginning, we're talking about Bruan; it's from the ratification of the Second Amendment all the way up to the Reconstruction Era, about 1868. So if the law was created after that, it doesn't really serve any relevance to Bruan at all. So it says here, according to Bruan, they are thus of little value. What's more, Spitzer exaggerates the prevalence of permitting laws. In fact, few of the laws he claims to be permitting laws actually are; rather, they are comprised of no-discharge laws, basically firearms prevention laws, hunting license laws, and others.

So, I just gave you one example of some of the declarations that the state of California provided to Judge Bonz to try and say that their law should be allowed to stand. So we have stuff that prevents fire here; we have relevance to old hunting laws that are not even from the period that Bruan lays out for us. And so, we also have things like Native Americans and people who were just freed being not considered the people; they were subject to different laws at the time and things like that. And that's some of the stuff that California used and what California thinks should still apply today. I mean, I don't know if that tells you what you need to know about California, but it sure tells me a lot. If they're willing to take those old laws that were completely unconstitutional at the time and no longer exist today to say that their laws should stand as they are, I mean, these laws were even turned over. So California is almost admitting to the fact that, well, their law is like that and should be turned over. And so, what the plaintiffs, what Ro is asking for here is a summary judgment. And so that's going to be different than the injunctive relief that you've seen in like looking for in like Miller and Duncan, right? Where Benitez comes out and he grants the injunction, and that gets appealed. What they're saying is that Benitez needs to rule from the bench on this one and simply overturn the law as it stands today. No need for an injunction; we've already proven that it's unconstitutional. There's no historical analog; there's no historical relevance to California's law as it stands today. And you should just decide this one and put out an order saying that it's unconstitutional and just skip the injunction altogether. That's what they're asking for, and I think that's what they're going to get in this case. And that would have a pretty big effect on any lawsuits that might be filed in New York, given that New York is facing some of the same problems that California is these days. So again, this is huge. Basically, these are the final arguments that California has to justify why their background checks should exist. And if that's the best that they have, well, then it's laughable. It's laughable at best. The constitutional arguments from the plaintiffs here are extremely strong, and the defense from California is about as weak as wet cheese on a windy day. I mean, it's just not going to hold anything. So, I think we are going to see a summary judgment from Benitez in this one, and that'll be it for the law.

So, this is all very exciting; we're seeing a lot of things happening in California right now with Duncan and Miller and Rhode. And we're just seeing everything is basically going backward for the State of California, which is fantastic for us people who believe in freedom. But not so good for those people who've been pushing these laws on Californians for the past 60 or 70 years. So, I wanted to share that with you. I am very excited that all of the arguments are in, and now we're just waiting on the order from Benitez. As you know, that could take some time, but I'm still optimistic. So thanks again very much for watching; I really do appreciate it. Please like, subscribe. You guys have a great day.

Copper Jacket TV - Huge Win! Court Smacks Down ATF's Brace Rule

Hey everybody, how's it going? Welcome back to Copper Jacket TV. So today, I've got some very big news that I think most of you are going to find extremely exciting. This is in regards to mock V Garland, which is a case that's challenging the ATF's clearly unconstitutional brace Rule.

Now, we've already seen an injunction from the fifth circuit court of appeals, but now we have something that, in my opinion, is even better and I think is going to lead to the end of the brace rule very soon. So let's talk about what just happened.

This video is proud to be sponsored by American Hartford Gold. Listen, if there is one thing that those of us in the Firearms Community understand, it's that you cannot rely on the government for your protection, not with your life and especially not with your wealth.

Look throughout our lifetime, the dominance of the US dollar was unquestioned, but that may be changing as we face unprecedented inflation. The world's biggest economies are ditching the dollar for the Yen, banks are failing left and right, and the government is discussing total control of all of your money with the new digital dollar.

Okay, so let's go talk about what's going on here. In the beginning of mock V Garland, the FPC and others filed a lawsuit in The District Court of Texas to either get a summary judgment, basically overturning the ATF's brace rule, or to get an injunction stopping enforcement of the brace rule. They said that it violated the APA (Administrative Procedures Act) because originally when they came out with their opinion, the ATF's rule had some type of worksheet with it and a bunch of different things, and people left comments about that. All of the comments were about that particular iteration of the rule.

Well, after the comments were submitted and everything was done, the ATF went ahead and basically changed everything. They got rid of that paperwork, they got rid of a bunch of stuff, and the final rule that came out was completely different than what people were allowed to comment on. The FPC and the people who filed the mock V Garland lawsuit said that well, that violates the Administrative Procedures Act and that it should be considered invalid.

Well, the district court at the time decided that they didn't see that the FBC had a likelihood of success on the merits, so they denied their claim. They denied their injunction, and obviously, they didn't issue a summary judgment. So, the FBC brings it up to the fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, saying that again, the ATF violated the APA and is also violating people's Second Amendment rights. So again, they're bringing this lawsuit on APA grounds and they're bringing it on Second Amendment grounds.

The fifth circuit goes ahead, and they take a look at everything and decide that, yes, as a matter of fact, we are going to allow for an injunction. This injunction is not going to be nationwide; it's not going to be so broad as to cover everybody in the country, but it will cover the plaintiffs, their families, it will cover FPC members, and things like that. So it was broad in terms of the fact that it did cover FBC members, which is quite a few people, and it covered the plaintiffs themselves and people in their household, families, and so forth.

But what the district court, or what the fifth Circuit Court decided to do was they decided to send it back down. Basically, what they did is they said, "Hey District Court, you got it wrong. We need you to take another look at this. We believe that the FBC and mock actually have a good chance of success on the merits, and we want you to take another look at this. We're going to give you some time to look at it. You go ahead and make whatever decision you want. It's actually written in there. They said, 'This is not something that you should take as we're telling you that they need to get an injunction. We're just telling you to take another look at it based on the information that we have here.'"

So again, they didn't force the lower courts to do anything the lower court didn't want to do. Well, that District Court just came out with their decision late last night. Now, try and keep in mind that the fifth circuit's injunction was still in place while the district court was kind of taking a second look at this. So again, FPC members and others who are involved in this were all covered as everything was going on.

Now we have the decision from the district court level, and the district court basically decided that they were going to also provide injunctive relief in this case, and that is the big breaking news. Basically, what the district court said is we went ahead and we looked at what the fifth circuit did, we agree with what the fifth circuit did, and so we're actually going to provide an injunction in this case that is equal and similar to the fifth circuit's injunction.

Let me go ahead and read you a little bit from this order, and it'll show you exactly who is covered by this. Now, one thing I want to keep in mind while we take a look at this order is that now we have two major courts agreeing on a particular matter. We have the district court and we have the appellate court both saying that mock has a good chance of success on the merits, meaning that if for some reason the state or the government decides to appeal back to the fifth, the fifth has already said that Mock has a good chance of success on the merits, and so more than likely they're going to deny the government's appeal in this case.

Here's the conclusion from The District Court: "The court holds that each plaintiff has demonstrated entitlement to preliminary injunctive relief against the government defendants' enforcement of the final rule that the United States court of appeals for the fifth circuit determined to be invalid under the administrative procedures act. For the foregoing reasons, the court grants the motion for preliminary injunction. Accordingly, the court orders that the government defendants, the Attorney General of the United States, the U.S. Department of Justice, the ATF, and its officers, servants, and employees are hereby enjoined from implementing or enforcing against the firearm policy coalition Inc. and all of its members the provisions in 27 CFR 478.11 and 479.11 that the United States court of appeals for the fifth circuit has determined are unlawful."

It goes on to cover each one of the named plaintiffs. So maximum defense and William T. Moach, and so forth. It goes through that and says, "This injunctive relief shall not extend to any VI individual prohibited from possessing firearms under 18 USC 922. The injunctive relief shall take effect immediately and remain in effect pending the conclusion and final disposition of all claims of cause of action before the court in these review proceedings. The court waives the security requirement," and it was signed by Judge Reed O'Conor on the 2nd of October.

Now, try to keep in mind here that what the ATF is saying is that what they did is not legislative in nature; it's clearly legislative in nature, and the courts have recognized that. They also recognized the fact that they violated the APA; they also recognized the fact that this violates the Second Amendment. They have realized that what they've done here is they've way overstepped their boundary, and so what they're doing is they're kind of putting them in check.

If you are somebody who is an FPC member, you are covered by this injunction. There's other injunctions right now that have currently taken place, lawsuits filed by the GOA and other groups as well. So we're seeing pretty much all across the country right now injunctions being enforced against the final Rule, and again, they're on different grounds from grounds from the APA to the Second Amendment. So there's a lot of things going on right here, but the big takeaway is that we have multiple courts now across the country that have decided that what the federal government has done here through this agency is unconstitutional and it violates the Second Amendment in the APA.

We have a consensus now amongst the lower courts, and so I think what we're going to see here very soon is we're going to see this overturned. But what's the FPC's response? Well, I had to search for that, went to their Twitter, looked down a little bit, or X or whatever it is now, went down a little bit and actually saw where they commented on somebody who had that same question. Let's just take a quick look at what the FPC is actually saying in regards to when this is going to be finished.

So we have a comment here under the FPC's post by CMDR Goat where it says, "When does this go away permanently?" and the FPC responded with, "The district court and the Circuit Court both in agreement about the likelihood of our success. We look forward to making this happen ASAP."

Well, what does that mean? Basically, what it means is it's not being enforced on its members as of right now, but it looks like we have a good chance of winning on the merits. So it's just going to be however long the case takes to be final. Obviously, there's still going to be Discovery and there's going to be oral arguments and things that are still going to happen after this. They have to still go through the case. This didn't overturn it, but what it did is it put it on hold, and so the case is going to move forward now, and there's everything standard that typically happens in a case is going to happen, and then at the end, the judge will make his final decision.

In my opinion, just based on what we've seen in this injunction, it looks like we're going to win this one. Now, obviously, the government's not going to like that very much, and so they're going to try and appeal to the fifth circuit, but the fifth circuit's kind of already weighed in on this. They've already said, "Hey, we believe they have a good chance of winning on the merit," so whether they take it up or not and continue this on is still yet to be seen. But if they do take it on, we have, again, a fairly good chance of winning on the merit, and so I think that this is going to be over sooner rather than later.

Things have been kind of expedited here just because of the nature of this having to create new laws essentially through this Rule and new punishments and new requirements and everything. This kind of has to be settled pretty quickly. It's not going to be one of those five-year things like we've seen in California, five or six years before we even get close to being final. I think we're going to see this finalized fairly soon. So I'm really excited about it, and as an FPC member, somebody who is covered by this injunction, I'm even more excited about it.

Again, this is just another reason why you really need to join whatever group you can, even if you can join multiple groups. Obviously, that would be better if you could be covered by the Goa and the FPC and all others. That'll pretty much cover your bases. But again, it shows why being part of these organizations is great for you in more ways than just helping them fight these things in court.

Again, very big news, extremely exciting. I wanted to bring that to you guys, and I want to thank you all very much for watching. I really do appreciate it. Please like, subscribe, you guys have a great day.

Hey everybody, how's it going? Welcome back to Copper Jacket TV. So if you remember from my last video, we talked about three new very important gun control bills that were just recently signed by the governor of California. In that video, I mentioned that there were quite a few more bills that he had signed on the same day. But did you know that he signed into law almost a total of two dozen new gun control bills? Those are all signed on the same day. Here is a list of all of the new gun control that was just signed into law in the state of California.

Well, we're going to go ahead and take a look at just a few more of these that I think are going to impact you and that you need to know about because, again, these are very important. In my opinion, completely unconstitutional, but you know in California, they like to enforce these things, so it's best to at least know what's going on. It is really difficult to keep up in that state. So let's talk about three important ones.

Now, real quick, if you want to support this Channel and you're watching and you haven't yet subscribed, hit that little subscribe button. It's free, it only takes a second, but it helps me out quite a bit. And hit that little alarm bell; that'll let you know when new videos come out, and you can stay up to date on what they are trying to do to your rights.

Okay, so let's go and start off by talking about AB 725. Again, recently signed by the governor, and I gotta be honest, this one is going to make your head spin. It's so difficult to wrap your head around this one that I've been thinking about it for days and how could they possibly enforce it? But you know how in California if you lose or you have a firearm stolen from you, then you have a certain amount of time to report that to law enforcement. If you fail to report it in that amount of time, it could be punishable by an infraction all the way up to a misdemeanor. Well, in California, that just simply wasn't good enough for them, so they decided to add on to that. What they did was they added precursor parts of what California considered to be precursor parts to that reporting requirement. So now, if you have lost or stolen precursor parts, that has to be reported to law enforcement within the specified amount of time. Now, obviously, I had a lot of questions about that, like how would they know who owned it, how would they know how long it was gone? I mean, how do they plan on enforcing this? I have no idea. But they want some way to hold people accountable for losing things like maybe just like a trigger pack, right? Somehow that gets traced back to the original owner. It's up to a misdemeanor if not reported in a specific amount of time, even though it doesn't seem enforceable to me. It was still worthy of all of that legislative time going up to the governor's desk. He looked at it, liked it, and decided to sign it. So again, lost or stolen precursor parts now added to the reporting requirements.

Okay, so the next one that was just signed was AB 1406. So you know how California likes to withhold your Second Amendment rights from you for a period of at least 10 days? Typically, it's 11 days because whoever you got it from may take to pick it up on the following day, right? So 11-day wait. Well, the California Department of Justice just signed into law a way to delay that for up to another 30 days. So now, essentially, if there are problems within the DOJ or there's some type of issue, they can delay it another additional 30 days, causing you to have to wait up to 40, even 41 days before finally being able to pick it up.

Okay, so if your eyes aren't open yet, this next one's definitely going to do it. We're talking about AB 1587, which creates special Merchant codes for your FFLs and vendors. So if you're going to get something that let's say doesn't currently fall within California's registration scheme, guess what? There's still a merchant code attached to it so that the financial institutions and the state still know where you were and what you were getting. It is another way for them to be able to track your purchases. So again, 1587 is going to create those Merchant codes that nobody wants to see.

Okay, let's go and finish it up with AB 92, which creates another prohibition in the state of California, as if they need anything else prohibited. But what this bill does is it changes the law so that in California, if you are somebody who is prohibited from purchasing or owning firearms, you are now also prohibited from owning armor. And that's something that I guess they're planning on enforcing. So again, something that's just wearable for your own defense that doesn't do anything to anybody else except protect you is now going to be prohibited from those individuals.

So, again, it's just California finding every possible little thing that they can do, any type of imaginative thing that they can come up with just to say that they did something. That's what's happening here, and you see it every single year. You're like, how could they come up with anything else? They've already banned just about everything; there's a lot of the governs pretty much every small detail of that right. And yet every year they seem to come up with something new, just like they will again next year. But 23, I believe it was, new gun control laws just signed by the governor there, and it just kind of shows you their imagination can run pretty deep.

But I wanted to share some more of those with you so that you guys are aware of what's going on in that state. And we will follow any lawsuits, obviously, that are filed against any of these. I'm sure there's going to be plenty. But this is why we need to support our local groups. This is why we need to support those groups that take these things to court because they just keep on coming. So I wanted to share that with you. I want to thank you all very much for watching; I really do appreciate it. Please like, subscribe; you guys have a great day.

Okay, so let's go and talk about what's going on here. Unfortunately, there were about a dozen gun control bills that were sent up to the governor's desk for a signature. He has until October 14th to sign any that he hasn't already. The three that we're going to be talking about today are three of the worst.

The first one you guys are going to know pretty well. We've talked about it on this channel quite a bit. I think pretty much everybody's talked about it, and that is California's "bump and response" bill, SB2, that was just signed into law in California. So SB2 is a terrible bill. If you don't know what it is, basically it's, in my opinion, it's like just the same as a ban on carry because of how it limits where you can carry throughout your day. It makes a lot of different places sensitive locations and it really causes a lot of interruptions and problems for somebody who wishes to carry. The other thing is it also means that they're really going to be digging into who you are and into your character and into your past, and the whole application process just got a lot more difficult because this was signed. So there's going to be a lot more intensive background checks, there's going to be higher fees, there's going to be even more extensive training that's involved, and again, if you actually make it through all of that, you pay all of those fees and you get through all that time that it takes to actually get it, and you get it, you still can't use it in very many places. Again, with all the different sensitive locations, SB2 is just a complete nightmare.

Now, the next one is another one that we've talked about quite a bit on this channel, and that's going to be AB28, better known as the 11% tax increase. So what this means now that it's signed is that come July 1st, everything's going to be more expensive in the state of California by approximately eleven percent unless some people, you know, give their customers a break. So what this does is it assesses an additional 11% tax on FFLs and vendors for any firearms or ammunition transactions. Now that's on top of any other taxes and fees that are already collected. So there's no way that they're going to be able to eat that. I mean, it just takes away the margin completely, and so what they're going to have to do is they're going to have to start charging the consumer more in order to make up for that. So just keep in mind that July 1st, 2024, now that it's signed into law, that is when this will take effect, and you're going to see prices go up.

Okay, so the next bill signed is going to be SB452. This is one that we haven't talked about all that much, but this is a very sneaky bill. I mean, this is about a snake in the grass as you could possibly get. So I'm sure you guys have noticed that there's been a lot of new things that have been added to the roster recently. Well, that's because there's no longer a Microstamp requirement because that part of the roster wasn't joined by a federal judge, and California didn't oppose that part of it. So there's currently an injunction, and so without the Microstamping provision, people are able to get things on the roster. What California did is they withdrew their opposition to the Microstamping and they simply delayed its initiation. So as you know, there was a requirement to get on that roster, so something had to have Microstamping to make it on, which basically just stopped anything new from being added to the roster. What SB452 does is it delays it until 2028, so that means that there will be a Microstamping requirement to get on the roster in 2028. What they did is they're giving it time for that lawsuit to go through, right? So this lawsuit is going to go through, we all know that we have a very good chance of actually winning this case, and so without that Microstamping thing, they're going to be forced to relitigate that come 2028 when the roster again gets stopped because the Microstamping provision is going to hit and nothing new is going to be able to be added because even in 2028, it's not going to be a viable option. And so again, it's just a way to delay and then freeze the roster down the road. So California is being very sneaky with this one, not opposing the injunction on that Microstamping requirement, but then kind of moving it down the road after these lawsuits have all been finished and then implementing the Microstamping portion. That's what happened with 452 being signed by the governor.

So that's just three of some of the very bad ones. There's a lot of other ones that are pretty bad as well. We'll talk about those in other videos, but I wanted to make you guys aware of that all three have been signed, and it's absolutely terrible. But that, I mean, that's what we all expected, right? I mean, given California's history, given the push for the 28th Amendment, and given everything else that happens there, I'm not surprised whatsoever. I don't think anybody else is either. But again, I wanted to let you know about it, and I want to thank you all very much for watching. If you haven't done so already, please like, subscribe, and try and have a good day. If you live in California, take care.

Copper Jacket TV - Newsome Snaps Over Unconstitutional Mag Ban Decision

09/25/2023


In a recent tweet directed at Judge Roger Benitez, the Governor of California went too far and seemingly snapped over the decision that the states mag ban is "unconstitutional"

Hey everybody, how's it going and welcome back to Copper Jacket TV. So you guys are definitely going to want to watch this one. So, remember last Friday, Judge Benitez in California said the California's ban on magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds was unconstitutional. In order to get to that decision, he used what the Supreme Court said he should use: text, history, and tradition. He looked at the evidence that was provided to him, and he came up with a decision that it was unconstitutional in a 72-page order.

Well, obviously that didn't sit very well with the attorney general, Rob Bonta, or the governor. And today I want to talk to you about the governor's response, which absolutely slams Benitez, and you won't believe some of the things that he says. So stay tuned, let's get right to it.

Now, real quick, if you want to support this channel and you're watching and you haven't yet subscribed, hit that little subscribe button. It's free, it only takes a second, but it helps me out quite a bit. And hit that little alarm bell; that'll let you know when new videos come out, and you can stay up to date on what they are trying to do to your rights.

Okay, so let's go and talk about what's going on here. So have you ever noticed that governors in states who pass laws that violate our constitution get pretty upset when that same constitution is used to overturn those laws? They just cannot handle it, and that is the case here where Newsome basically breaks down and says some things about Bonita that are just, in my opinion, slanderous and just completely over the top.

Now, I expected him not to be happy, obviously, but some of the things that he said went too far even for him. So let me go ahead and read you guys his response, which is basically his tweet. I don't think he made a video about it like Bonta did, but this is his tweet about the decision.

Now, try and keep in mind that this is in response to a judge siding with the constitution, siding with one of our rights within our Bill of Rights. So that should be something that somebody who swore to uphold and defend the constitution would accept and support. Well, no, he doesn't accept and support it. As a matter of fact, he says this: "Breaking: California's high capacity magazine ban was just struck down (all caps) by Judge Benitez." Okay, here, get this: "An extremist right-wing zealot with no regard for human life." Now, I don't know about you guys, but does that sound like Benitez at all? A guy who used text, history, and tradition to come out with an order that's basically just upholding our constitutional rights?

Now, if you don't side with the state, that's what they call you. Oh, but don't think that he missed his opportunity to take advantage of this in order to push his 28th Amendment, which is what he does in the same text. So it continues on to say, "Wake up America, our gun safety laws will continue to be thrown out by NRA-owned federal judges until we pass a constitutional amendment to protect our kids." So he's using the fact that one of our rights was upheld by a federal judge to push for an amendment that would essentially eliminate that right.

So, I mean, if you couldn't see the issue before and the problem with this before, you definitely should see it now because what he's saying is the constitution got in my way from doing what I wanted to do. These magazines he thinks should be banned; the constitution thinks otherwise, our Bill of Rights, our Second Amendment thinks otherwise, this federal judge upheld that. So what does he want to do? Well, just simply get rid of it. If we get rid of the Second Amendment by placing a 28th Amendment, which would simply override the Second Amendment, then he can go ahead and do what he wants, and he doesn't have to worry about the constitution. That's what this is all about. It's about the constitution being in their way.

So, I've always said this: they view the constitution as a speed bump, right? It might slow them down a little bit, but they're still just going to simply run it right over. That's how they look at our Bill of Rights. They look at it as a speed bump; they're just going to continue driving on down the road instead of the impenetrable brick wall that it actually is, where it's going to stop you. You cannot pass this point right here; there is no more driving; it is not a speed bump.

So again, it's their point of view that it's a speed bump instead of a roadblock. And so when they're faced with that actual roadblock and they're looking at this brick wall, saying, "Hey, I can't do anything else; I can't do what I want to do because this thing is in my way," what do they do? Well, they want to come up with a way to just simply tear it down. And that's what he's doing with his 28th Amendment.

But the fact that he called Benitez those things, right? The fact that he said those things about him simply for upholding the constitution should tell you absolutely everything you need to know. I mean, we heard Bonta's response; it was a pre-written, pre-planned response. They said that they're going to appeal, and you know they're going to continue taking this through the court system or whatever.

But this right here seems more like it was one of those angry times where you're just simply writing something down without really thinking about what you're saying. Or maybe he did think about what he says; I don't know. But it's definitely pretty eye-opening that they could say that about a federal judge who simply upheld the constitution.

I mean, what do you guys think about it? Leave your comments down in the comment section and let me know. But either way, I wanted to share that with you guys. I want to thank you all very much for watching; I really do appreciate it. Please like, subscribe, you guys have a great day.

Copper Jacket TV - California Mag Ban Massive Win, Duncan V. Bonta, Benitez Order Published

09/22/2023

An order has been issued by Judge Roger T. Benitez in the case of Duncan v. Bonta which challenges Californias "Mag Ban". Judge Benitez has ordered an injunction in this case for the 2nd time. -- USCCA - https://www.uscca.com/copperjacket Social Media INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/thedailysho...

Hey everybody, how's it going? Welcome back to Copper Jacket TV. Massive breaking news happening right now: Judge Benitez just came out with his order in Duncan v. Banta, California's magazine ban case. Let's talk about what he said.

Okay, so let's go and talk about what's going on here. Just like we thought, Judge Benitez took his time to write a completely rock-solid order. As a matter of fact, it is a very long document. I have not had a chance to read the entire thing yet, but I'm sure you guys just want to skip to the end, right? What did he say? Well, let's go ahead and do that and take a look at the order itself last paragraph.

Okay, so it says here, "It is hereby ordered that one defendant attorney general Rob Banta and his officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys, and those persons in active concert or participation with him and those duly sworn State peace officers and federal law enforcement officers who gain knowledge of this injunction order or know of the existence of this injunction order are enjoined from enforcing California penal code section 32310." So that's huge. There's your injunction right there. He granted it.

Two, defendant Rob Banta shall provide by personal service or otherwise actual notice of this order to law enforcement personnel who are responsible for implementing or enforcing the enjoined statute.

Now here is the only downside to this, and I know you guys are going to have a collective eye roll and you're going to wonder what the hell, but we're going to talk about this in just a second.

Number three, this injunction is stayed for 10 days from the date of this order. It is so ordered December 22nd, 2023, by the honorable Judge Roger T. Benitez, U.S. state district court.

So what does this mean? Well, it means that Judge Benitez granted the injunction in this case for the second time. Obviously, the first time is the one that gave us freedom week where it went up to the ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. A lot happened. A lot of stuff happened with this case, and it ended up back down to Judge Benitez. And again, like I said before, this is the second time that he has granted an injunction in this case. But this time it's happening post-ruin.

Now, unlike before where we had freedom week, Judge Benitez decided to stay his order, to basically not nullify but to put on hold his injunction for 10 days. Now, why would he do that? Well, he did that to give California time to appeal again back up to the ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. But this time, things are a little bit different. We have Bruin on our side, and so there's actually a chance that the ninth Circuit may not want to mess with this one, right? Because, again, it might go back up to the Supreme Court, and we kind of know where the Supreme Court stands. So there's a fairly good chance that the ninth Circuit, already hearing this case, may not want to take it up again. And so after that 10 days, if they've not granted an appeal or if they have not extended a stay or taken that up, then that means in 10 days from today, then the injunction goes into place, the stay is lifted, and that's it for 32310 penal code 32310 in the state of California, in any capacity, would be perfectly fine, all legal and good to go in that state. That would basically mean that that law is over, it's null and void, it's gone.

You know California is going to ask for that state. They're going to ask for that permanent stay or at least a stay until the ending of this case by the ninth Circuit. But here's the thing: it's got to go to a three-judge panel. A three-judge panel is going to look at this. They've been siding with the Second Amendment lately in Hawaii and other cases, and they've been using Bruin as their standard instead of the two-step approach, which is what they used in the past. They used to side with the state all the time by just using that balancing option, right, where they could say, "Well, the state has a great interest in this, and so that kind of overrides your rights." Well, they can't do that anymore post-ruin. They have to look at just simply text, history, and tradition. And as noted in this document by Benitez, he used text, history, tradition; he covered all of his bases in this document. And so they have to look at this. The ninth Circuit has to look at Benitez's order here. They have to read the entire thing and get a good understanding of it. And just based on what he wrote and what I've read so far, there's no way to get through it. And so I don't see any way that the ninth Circuit, unless they just completely decided not to do their job, that they don't just let this stay expire. I think that's personally what's going to happen.

And when it comes to California, I don't say that very often, but I think that we're going to see this 10-day stay expire. And I don't personally think that the ninth Circuit is going to take it up. If they do end up taking it up, I still think we're eventually going to get a win out of it. And they may even allow the injunction to take place while that's happening. So if the injunction takes place but the case continues at the ninth Circuit, then the law is still not in effect for that time being.

So there's a lot to take away from this. I'm going to study this document as much as I can and give you guys any more specific details as we go on down the road here. But the main takeaway is an injunction was granted and a stay was also issued for 10 days. So we may see that law overturned in 10 days. It's very exciting to see some final movement here, and hopefully, this case is just about at an end, and Californians get the win that they absolutely deserve in it. Try to remember, this could have massive effects across the entire country. There are a lot of states that have capacity regulations like this, so try and keep that in mind as well.

Thank you all very much for watching; I really do appreciate it. We've been talking about this one since 2019. I've been making videos about it since 2019, and it would be nice to see this one come to a close with a win for those, you know, the good people over there. Again, thanks for watching. You guys have a great day.

Copper Jacket TV - Get Red Flagged For Owning Armor, New California Law Passed

09/21/2023

A new law in California expands on the states red flag law and now allows armor to be used as evidence to obtain a GVRO. Simply possessing it would be enough.

Hey everybody, how's it going? Welcome back to Copper Jacket TV.

So, it's kind of difficult to imagine that you could add to the absurdity that is California and California gun control. They already have more laws on the books than any other state in the entire country, so how could they possibly imagine anything new? Well, they have, and something just recently passed that's going to blow your mind. You can now get red-flagged, red-flagged for simply owning body armor. Let's talk about what just passed and what effects it's going to have.

Now, real quick, if you want to support this Channel and you're watching and you haven't yet subscribed, hit that little subscribe button. It's free; it only takes a second, but it helps me out quite a bit. And hit that little alarm Bell; that'll let you know when new videos come out, and you can stay up to date on what they are trying to do to your rights. Okay, so let's go and talk about what's going on here.

So we're talking about AB301, which was just sent up to the governor's desk to be signed. Now, at the time of the making of this video, he hasn't signed it yet, but he has until October the 14th to do so. Now, just based on his track record, based on his history, and what he's been asking in the legislature for, there's a 99.999999 chance that he is going to sign this, and it's going to become law.

So, what does AB301 do? Well, it amends the current Red Flag laws in the state of California to now include body armor. So if somebody wants to file one of these, what they call a California GVRO or Gun Violence Restraining Order against you, and they see that you purchase, own, or possess at the time they see you body armor, they can actually now use that against you to get that red flag or GVRO.

Well, how can they do that? Let me go ahead and read you just a little bit from the bill so you'll see exactly what they're saying that body armor now falls into. So again, it adds and amends this to the existing red flag laws in California that are already just, I mean, completely overblown. You're seeing massive numbers of these confiscations in California now, and it's just getting more and more out of control. So again, let me just read you this quick paragraph here:

In determining whether grounds for a GVRO exist, the court may consider any other evidence of an increased risk for violence, including but not limited to evidence of any of the following, and if we scroll down to the bottom, it says evidence of acquisition of body armor as defined in Section 16288, and for the purposes of this subdivision, "recent" means within the last six months prior to the date the petition was filed. Now, the reason they say within the past six months is because California's red flag laws have become so out of control now that you have up to six months to file one. I mean, that is a significant amount of time; a lot can happen in six months.

So let's say that I have an interaction with somebody, right, and that person didn't like that interaction. Five months down the road, that person sees me loading up my truck, and I happen to be throwing like a Level III vest or something in there, right? That person, even though it's five months later, can still go and file that GVRO and just state that they saw me with this armor, and that's all of the evidence that they will need because you see in that paragraph it says any of the following; it doesn't have to be all of the following. I don't have to own firearms at all; okay, just the armor; that's enough; that's all that they need in order to file a GVRO against you.

And again, in California, so many people can do it; the list just keeps expanding. And now they have six months to do so, and now they're adding this as an example of what can get you GVROed. And that's not all that California is doing with armor this year. As a matter of fact, there's another bill sitting on the governor's desk that affects armor as well. It was a big legislative focus this year, but another thing that they've done is they've said that if you're prohibited from owning firearms, then you should also be prohibited from armor. And so now they've added that to the prohibited list, meaning that if you're somebody who previously owned this, right, you were prohibited from the other thing but not prohibited from this; well, now they're going to go ahead and take away what you have in terms of armor because as a prohibited person, you can't own either. And so that was, I believe, AB 92. So we have AB 301, AB 92, and everything's going after armor now. So again, they want to make sure that they have everything covered; just about everything now can be used as evidence against you even though you have no idea what the hell is going on.

So I wanted to make you guys aware of that. If you're interested in seeing what this thing's about, I'll leave the bill text down below; you guys can check it out for yourself. If you think that that could potentially be an issue, definitely read through it; there's a lot going on there. But you know, sometimes it's worth it to read these lengthy and absolutely ridiculous bills. So again, I'll leave that down below; I just want to let you guys know about that. I want to thank you all very much for watching; I really do appreciate it. Please like, subscribe; you guys have a great day.

Copper Jacket TV - New "Federal" Office Run & Controlled By “Everytown" Just Announced

09/20/2023


Biden is set to announce a new federal office. The "office to prevent gun violence". This office run in part by the current Director of Everytown will have a massive effect on our rights moving forward.

Hey everybody, how's it going? Welcome back to Copper Jacket TV.

So this is about as bad as it gets. I mean, they're not even trying to hide it anymore. But every town, you know, that Every Town for Gun Safety is now actually going to be part of our executive branch. And what do I mean by that? Well, Biden is set to announce his new office of gun violence prevention, which is essentially the office for creating gun control. Now, this new office is going to be headed up by, well, you guessed it, the top members of Every Town and other groups just like it. So let's go and talk about what's going on, who's going to be running it, and what they're going to be doing, and well, who came up with the idea to begin with. Let's get to it.

Now, real quick, before we get started, more than half the people that watch these videos are not yet subscribed. If you are interested in staying on top of your Second Amendment rights, hit that little subscribe button. It's free, it only takes a second, but it helps me out quite a bit. And that little alarm bell will let you know when new videos come out because obviously this topic isn't shared all that often. So I want to thank everybody out there for watching this video. Let's get to it.

Okay, so let's go and talk about what's going on here. So if you thought I was exaggerating about what this office is intended for and that it's an office that's going to help promote and create gun control, let me just go ahead and show you guys who's in charge. So take a look at this, where it says Greg Jackson, executive director of the Community Justice Action Fund, and Rob Wilcox, the senior director for federal government affairs at Everytown for Gun Safety, are expected to hold key roles in this office alongside Feldman, who has worked on gun policy for more than a decade and still oversees the policy portfolio at the White House. The creation of this office was first reported by The Washington Post.

Now, they go on to say with the quote here: "A White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention would build on an already tremendous record of President Biden and Vice President Harris on gun safety," said Peter Ambler, executive director of Giffords. "This has been a top priority of ours for years, and it would provide an important center of gravity for leadership across the administration as the President and Vice President implement the historic bipartisan Safer Communities Act to push Congress to pass legislation to save lives. The hiring of Greg and Rob would show how seriously this administration takes its responsibility to address this crisis."

Now, you'll notice something interesting there: the people who are running this office hold one specific viewpoint. There is no opposing viewpoint. You didn't hear that there was a director from Everytown and then there was also the director from the GOA or the FBC. Now, it was only people with one specific viewpoint that their respective organizations have held since their inception, which is to infringe on people's constitutional rights. That's who's going to be running this office, and this office is only going to be coming up with ideas and ways to push things like the so-called bipartisan Safer Communities Act. This is something they've been asking for for quite a while now. As a matter of fact, Politico reports gun safety groups have pressed Biden to focus on the implementation of the hallmark gun legislation. They're talking about the bipartisan Safer Communities Act and have argued that such an office would help with coordination across federal agencies.

So, yep, it's going to be part of the federal government now, a new federal office where your tax dollars are going to go to pay the executives of Everytown and other agencies so that they can find new and creative ways in order to restrict one of your constitutional rights. Now, the good thing about that is because it's a federal office and because this new federal office has to be paid through our tax dollars, the House holds the power of the purse, meaning that they could simply withhold funding from this office so that this office couldn't exist. Now, whether or not they'll do that is still yet to be seen. But if they wanted to and if they actually had the conviction to do so and hold strong to it, they could withhold funding from that office, basically stop it from ever being created in the first place. It would just become an idea, and that would be it.

Now, this seems to be modeled after what California did. California did something very similar, and they've been pushing for something like this on the federal level for years. As a matter of fact, all of these different groups, they want to get their hands in there. So what they started doing is they started putting people in different positions of power within the government. But then they thought, you know what, let's just go ahead and streamline it. People know that we're here. Let's just go ahead and make our own office so that we can conduct our business from within government, and then we can go ahead and coordinate with different people, come up with different suggestions and ways to get bills on the floor and try and get them passed. And you know, we can advocate for what we want without any opposition from the other side whatsoever. That's basically what this office is all about, and you know, it's something that we really need to consider here because as you can see, this is going off the deep end.

So right, we've reached a level where now we're bringing in people to affect policy. These are again unelected people, unelected officials that are doing this, and whenever you have somebody who's unelected, that also means that they're unaccountable, right? So they're unaccountable to the people, and therefore, they don't really care what policy they come up with because it's not like they have to wait to see whether or not they're going to win as the incumbent come next cycle. Well, they don't have to worry about stuff like that. They're simply appointed, and they have their job. That's all there is to it until somebody comes around and says, "Hey, this seems to be pretty unconstitutional to me. We're going to go ahead and get rid of this office or we're going to simply defund it." We'll see what happens. Either way, this is going to be a big test for the House, I think, coming up to see what they do about this. So anyway, I wanted to share that with you and let you guys know about it, and I want to thank you all very much for watching. I really do appreciate it.

Copper Jacket TV - Huge New Gun Control Laws Pass In California

09/19/2023

I've been getting questions about two huge new gun control laws that recently passed in California. These new laws which would, if signed change everything from carry to taxes in the state which already has the most laws on the books.

Hey everybody, how's it going? Welcome back to Copper Jacket TV. So I've been getting some questions in my inbox recently about some new gun control laws that were just passed in the state of California. People want to know what's going on with them and when they're going to take effect. So today, we're going to be talking about California's carry bill SB2 and the new 11 tax SB 28, which both recently passed. So let's get to it.

This video is proud to be sponsored by Mechanic Superstore. If you're sick of lying on your back working on your vehicle or maybe you just want to clean up your garage, check out their two-post lifts, four-post lifts, motorcycle lifts, and parking lifts. They have absolutely everything that you're going to need, including lifetime technical support. Now, if you're like me, you spend more time in the garage than you do in your home because that's where your passion for vehicles exists. But we don't always have enough space to get everything we want done. That's where getting a parking lift, a two-post lift, or a four-post lift, even a motorcycle lift, can help move some of that stuff out of the way.

One of my favorite things about Mechanic Superstore is they not only cater to the individual like you and I who want to have the best garage in the neighborhood, but they also cater to the professional. If you are a professional and you're looking to get your shop started completely with one stop, just check out their Deluxe shop starter combo.

Again, there'll be a link to Mechanic Superstore down below.

Okay, so let's go and talk about what's going on here because I got a couple of messages recently from people who said that they went to their shop, they didn't see an 11 tax, they didn't see a price increase, and they're wondering what's going on. There are some people in California that think that once these laws pass, they take effect. So let's go ahead and talk about these two.

The first one is going to be SB2. Now SB2 has actually seen multiple iterations. The first one, which was introduced into the Senate and the Assembly back in December of 2015, actually had an emergency clause, which means that it had to receive a higher vote threshold, and that one ended up failing, which still kind of surprised me. So they removed that emergency clause, they made some changes and amendments, and then brought it back as SB2, and that's what just recently passed the Senate and the Assembly and what's currently sitting on the governor's desk. Now the thing with this one is the governor has already indicated that he plans on signing this, so we're almost positive that this one is actually going to become law, but it has not taken effect yet. The moment that it takes effect, we have a specific date, I will let you guys know what that date is.

When it comes to SB 28, this is one that I haven't really heard too much about from the governor, whether or not he's actually guaranteed to sign it or he's going to veto this one and let it pass just based on what he's signed in the past. I'm pretty sure he's going to sign it, but I'm not 100% positive. As a matter of fact, this is one that they've been trying since 2013, which is to increase or add an excise tax onto the sale of firearms or ammunition. So that one, SB 28, just passed the Senate and the Assembly as well. That's also sitting on the governor's desk, but we're not sure when or if he actually plans on signing that one. So that's why you're not seeing the changes at the shop quite yet because this one's going to require some procedural changes on how and how much they collect from FFLs and vendors. This one's not set to take effect until July 1st, 2024. After that, oh, guaranteed you're going to see those prices start to increase. But that's if the governor signs it. Again, I haven't seen anything concrete that says he's going to sign it, but just based on history, I would think that he is.

So just like always, if you live in California, keep your head on a swivel, and just remember there's no such thing as a stupid question because these things seem to change pretty much every single month, and it is extremely difficult to keep up with them. So if that's something that you're wondering, ask. Don't worry about how anybody's going to perceive your question. It's best to know what's going on in that state. So if you're somebody who wants to know what's going on at all times, you can always go ahead and subscribe, hit that little alarm notification that'll let you know when new videos come out. I try and stay up to date with what's California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, and all these different states that are constantly passing these laws are up to, and I try and put them out as fast as possible as well so you guys will be up to date with the latest things.

So again, you know California, everything's always up in the air, so we'll see what happens. We know that SB2 is going to be signed; that one's going to go into law. Thankfully, there are lawsuits fighting back against that one already. But SB 28, not so sure. So again, I'll let you know as soon as that happens if it does. And I want to thank you all very much for watching. I really do appreciate it. Please like, subscribe, subscribe. You guys have a great day.

Copper Jacket TV - Firearm Confiscations Increase 10x And Its Going To Get Worse, New Law Signed

09/18/2023


"Red Flags" in New York have increased 10 fold in New York since June 2022 and now a new law has been signed that will increase that number even more by removing a financial deterrent keeping some from filing for a "Red Flag" or ERPO. -- USCCA - https://www.uscca.com/copperjacket Social Media INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/thedailysho...

Hey everybody, how's it going? Welcome back to Copper Jacket TV. So today we're back to talking about New York, another state just like California that just cannot catch a break.

Since June of 2022, gun confiscation has increased in New York by tenfold. That is a massive increase over prior years, and it is about to get worse. So let's go ahead and talk about what just happened and how it's going to get worse, and what you guys can expect. So let's get to it.

This video is sponsored by gunspot, absolutely one of the coolest websites that you guys will ever see. If you are into Second Amendment-related hobbies and traditions, you need to check out gunspot. Their options are incredible. Everything you need, you will find there. They have pages like the war room, the academy, and battle station. In the academy, you will find all sorts of really useful information. It is honestly a one-stop place to visit. So check out gunspot; you know how to find them.

Okay, so let's go and talk about what's going on here. Over the past several years, New York has done everything in their power to expand on and increase the number of ERPOs (Extreme Risk Protection Orders), also known as red flag laws, against as many people as possible. Now, I say that these are illegal confiscations because there's no due process. I don't care if it goes before a judge. I don't care if somebody has to sign an affidavit. If the person who this is being enforced against, who's having their property taken away from them, has no clue that it's happening until somebody actually knocks on their door to relieve them of their privately owned property, then there's no due process when the person has to go to court after the fact in order to prove that they're not what that person said they are. Again, there's no due process, and to me, that is illegal confiscation. And like I said before, it has increased tenfold in New York just over the last year. As a matter of fact, we're still seeing hundreds, I mean several hundred people having their privately owned property removed from them because of these red flags in New York every single month.

But that's not good enough for New York. So what is Kathy Hogan going to do? Well, she decides that she's going to sign a new law to open things up a little bit more. Local today signed legislation removing a barrier to filling out an extreme risk protection order. So what she did was she eliminated all of the fees that are associated with it, and the fees were actually kind of hefty. So what you would have to do in the past is you would have to go to the court or wherever you go to file that ERPO, and then you would fill out an affidavit, you would sign it, and then you would pay a fee. Right? It's like a filing fee. That fee was $210, which sort of discouraged some people from going to do it because I mean, $210 is a lot of money to some people, right? So $210 is what they would have to pay over to the court, and then that would go before a judge. The judge would look over the affidavit and determine whether or not they were going to have that person's stuff removed. And well, most of the time, it was. Now, Kathy Hochul decided she's going to basically eliminate that $210 fee to encourage more people to go out and file these red flags or these ERPOs.

Now, this just happened, and the whole premise behind this is to again increase the number of confiscations that New York is able to carry out by eliminating one of those barriers that maybe some people had in their way. Now there's no barriers at all. You can have law enforcement, you could have somebody from the school, you can have a medical professional, or anybody. You can now go in and fill out one of those affidavits without any barriers, no fees or anything to kind of make them think about what they're doing before they do it. And they could just simply go in, fill out that affidavit, put it before a judge, and now somebody has their stuff confiscated from them, again, in my opinion, without due process because they have no idea what's going on.

So if you think that 350 or 380 per month, or whatever it is per month, is bad now, imagine what it's going to be now that it costs nothing. Now we saw recently when there was additional funding added to the promotion of these confiscations that confiscation started to increase more and more and more until we got to the point where it was 10 times more than last year. So now with this happening, all the increased advertising, and now you have the fact that it costs absolutely nothing, that number is going to double or triple, in my opinion. I think that number is going to skyrocket. And if you think about this in terms of months, right? Let's just say, on average, there's 400 people per month that lose their rights because of this in the state of New York. 400. That's 4,000 every 10 months, right? 4,800 people every single year. I mean, if you add that in the next 10 years, 48,000 people. 48,000 people in the next 10 years, assuming that it doesn't increase at all because of this, could lose their rights and then have to prove their innocence after the fact in New York.

So again, what they're doing is they're expanding and trying to increase the number of these that are being forced on the citizens. If they can't pass a law because it's unconstitutional, if they can't pass a law to simply take everybody's guns away, what they're going to do is they're just going to increase the number of red flags so that it's done in what they consider to be a legal way. And in the next 10 years, you'll see 48,000-plus people who've had their rights removed, and some of them will never get them back. I mean, that's just a fact. We've seen it in California where people, you know, find out afterwards that the person who filed it against you was maybe not telling the truth. And so when you went to defend yourself in court, it was proven that you're not a danger to yourself, right? So they decide that, okay, we're going to go ahead; we're going to drop that red flag on you. And guess what? They never get their stuff back. Or some people have been fighting for years and have never gotten their stuff back. And that's kind of what's going to happen here. It's going to be held by law enforcement, and you may never see it again, even if it turns out that that person maybe wasn't telling the truth.

So, it's really unbelievable to me what's happening. They just can't get enough, and they will just keep coming for more. So, you know, we have places like New York, California, Illinois, and so many others that will do everything that they can, and it bothers me a lot. So, I wanted to make you guys aware of that. Just be aware in New York; they're about to increase. So anyway, I wanted to tell you that. Thank you all very much for watching. I really do appreciate it. Please like, subscribe. You guys have a great day.
