Eye on the Target - TARGETHING - Talking Guns

This hour of Eye on the Target Radio focuses almost entirely on the changing legal landscape surrounding the National Firearms Act (NFA), particularly the recent elimination of the $200 tax on suppressors, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), and short-barreled shotguns (SBSs). Amanda and Rob explain that the NFA actually covers six categories—SBRs, SBSs, suppressors, machine guns, destructive devices, and certain “any other weapons”—but that the current legal fight is concentrated on the first three. They describe the elimination of the tax as part of a broader strategy to dismantle or...

This episode of Eye on the Target Radio focuses on several recent Second Amendment developments, particularly major U.S. Supreme Court decisions and their broader legal implications. Amanda Suffecool and Rob Campbell discuss the Court's unanimous decision in the Hermani case involving marijuana users and firearm rights, arguing that the ruling reinforces constitutional protections while potentially undermining red flag laws by emphasizing due process before constitutional rights can be restricted. They also revisit the Bruen standard of evaluating firearm laws based on the nation's historical tradition, criticizing attempts by some judges and legal commentators to weaken that framework. The hosts examine the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling in the Wolford case from Hawaii, which struck down the state's requirement that private property owners explicitly grant permission before lawful concealed carriers could enter. They explain that the Court instead held that carrying is presumed lawful unless a property owner specifically prohibits firearms, viewing the decision as another significant expansion of Second Amendment protections.

The conversation also explores reactions to the Court's rulings, including criticism from dissenting justices and media commentators who relied on post-Civil War laws—particularly discriminatory Black Codes—to support their arguments. Amanda and Rob argue that such laws should not be considered valid historical precedent under the Bruen test and contend that the Second Amendment protects all Americans equally regardless of race. They discuss how incremental court victories can gradually expand nationwide rights through continued litigation and stress the importance of appellate review so favorable decisions apply beyond a single judicial circuit. Throughout the show, they express optimism that recent Supreme Court decisions will continue reshaping firearm law in favor of broader constitutional protections.

Later in the program, the hosts shift to ongoing litigation in California, praising Justice Department official Harmeet Dhillon for challenging the state's proposed restrictions on Glock pistols and its longstanding handgun roster. They explain that multiple lawsuits are targeting California's firearm regulations and criticize the slow pace of the courts, noting that one handgun roster case has remained undecided for more than 1,100 days after oral arguments. The discussion concludes with California's legal battle over firearm restrictions for adults aged 18 to 20. Amanda and Rob argue that if 18-year-olds are legally recognized as adults for contracts, military service, and criminal responsibility, they should likewise enjoy full Second Amendment rights. As in most episodes, the legal discussions are interspersed with advertisements and public service announcements promoting firearms safety, training opportunities, educational organizations, and products related to responsible firearm ownership.
