A Judge Just Ruled You Can Own A Machine Gun

About this video

Colion breaks down a recent Mississippi federal court ruling in which Judge Carlton Reeves declared the federal machine gun ban unconstitutional in a specific case involving defendant Justin Bryce Brown. Colion argues that the judge applied the Supreme Court’s Bruen standard, requiring the government to prove historical tradition for gun restrictions, and found the government’s argument lacking. He examines the judge’s reasoning that with 740,000 legally owned machine guns in the U.S., they may not qualify as ‘unusual’ under the Heller precedent, and discusses the potential implications if the case reaches the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Key takeaways

• Colion explains that Judge Reeves ruled the federal machine gun ban unconstitutional in this case because the government failed to demonstrate historical tradition under the Bruen standard
• Colion highlights the judge’s finding that 740,000 legally owned machine guns in the U.S. may be too common to be considered ‘unusual’ under Second Amendment precedent
• Colion suggests this ruling, if appealed to the Fifth Circuit, could challenge prior precedent and become a significant Second Amendment case, though the outcome remains uncertain
