The legality of unregistered firearms is a hot-button issue, especially in light of the recent Second Circuit case, United States v. DeFelis. This episode delves into the implications of owning unregistered short-barreled rifles (SBRs) and suppressors, with armed attorney Leslie Cross joining us for an insightful discussion. The DeFelis case answers pressing questions: Can the government take action against those who possess unregistered firearms? The court's ruling implies a resounding yes, backed by references to various circuit cases. But is this stance consistent with the Second Amendment?

The discussion takes a deep dive into constitutional debates surrounding firearm registration requirements, engaging listeners with thought-provoking inquiries. How do changing laws impact prosecutions, and what does this mean for gun owners? Tune in to unravel the complexities of these legal battles and discover what they mean for your rights across state lines.
