Second Circuit Strikes Down NY 'Vampire Rule'; VA Prosecutors Vow Not to Enforce AR-15 Ban
About this episode
The episode discusses a ruling by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals on New York's carry laws and the implications for gun policy in Virginia.
Contributing writer Jake Fogleman and I cover a recent ruling out of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals striking down New York's default ban on licensed carry in publicly accessible private property. We also discuss the absence of gun policy in public opinion polls, the ATF's assurances to trans gun owners regarding its proposed gender rule, and the rise in Virginia prosecutors pledging not to enforce the state's "assault firearm" ban.
