I keep seeing posts and psa’s about HR38.
Here’s my take: I believe that, even if they ‘fix’ it, places like California, Massachusetts, Illinois, Chicago, L.A., NYC… will defy the law, arrest you, confiscate your weapon, and you’ll rot in jail until your State’s Attorney manages to get you out- maybe. The Supreme Court will refuse to hear challenges until half a dozen lower courts have had their say.
And if they pass it without fixing it, it actually makes it more dangerous than ever. Right now, I know where I can, and cannot, carry. But HR38 allows States and locals so much ambiguity that it can change and services like CCW Safe and USCCA won’t know until it’s too late.
I don’t really believe there’s an appetite- on EITHER SIDE OF THE AISLE -to pass good national reciprocity, de-regulate suppressors, or void the NFA. Trump & Co. are worried about fixing the economy and immigration, and in the mean time nothing good, and likely more damage, will happen to the 2A.
[FPC News] FPC: Appeals Court Should Uphold 2A Victory Over Illinois “Assault Weap
<p><strong>CHICAGO</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">June 9, 2025</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">) – Today, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) asked the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals to uphold its critical victory over the Illinois “Protect Illinois Communities Act” (PICA) gun control regulations, which bans so-called “assault weapons” and “large capacity” magazines. FPC’s brief says that the “question presented by this case is whether the Second Amendment allows Illinois to ban the best-selling rifle in America and its standard magazine. The answer,” FPC argues, “is no.”</span></p>
