YouTube’s War on Gun Content: The “Loaded Content” Report Targets Firearms Creators and 2A Speech
A new anti-gun report titled Loaded Content is pressuring YouTube to restrict, demonetize, age-gate and remove huge portions of America’s online firearms community.
Mark Walters delivers a complete four-segment breakdown of how the report uses the horrific actions of violent criminals to condemn millions of peaceful gun owners, lawful firearms creators and Second Amendment advocates.
The report begins with the 2022 Buffalo mass murderer’s viewing history—but quickly expands its target to include firearms reviews, gunsmithing, product demonstrations, military history, competitive shooting, self-defense training, preparedness content and political advocacy. Mark explains how this argument replac...
Waymo, a “Ghost Gun” and the Fourth Amendment: Is Your Driverless Car Watching You?
A Waymo robotaxi carrying two juveniles allegedly detected a firearm-related violation of the company’s terms of service, stopped the vehicle and contacted emergency services.
San Francisco police responded with what authorities described as a “high-risk vehicle stop.” Officers detained the two passengers, searched the vehicle and reportedly recovered a loaded AR-style privately manufactured firearm—commonly called a “ghost gun”—along with suspected marijuana and mace. Both juveniles were reportedly taken to juvenile hall while the investigation remained open.
If the allegations are established, the young people involved must be held accountable. This is not an argument fo...

3rd circuit upholds maching gun ban with a catch!
The Third Circuit just ruled that machine guns qualify as protected “arms” under the plain text of the Second Amendment—and then upheld the federal machine-gun ban anyway.
How can this be the same federal appeals court that recently struck down New Jersey’s bans on commonly owned semiautomatic rifles and standard-capacity magazines?
Mark Walters delivers a complete, plain-English breakdown of United States v. Berger and explains why these two Third Circuit decisions are not technically contradictory. The court drew a sharp constitutional line between fully automatic machine guns and the millions of AR-15-style semiauto...

WOULD SCOTUS UPHOLD THE MACHINE GUN BAN? A Brutally Honest 2A Debate
Would the Supreme Court strike down the federal machine-gun ban—or refuse to take the case?
Epoch Times legal reporter Sam Dorman joins Mark Walters for a candid, plain-English examination of the Third Circuit’s ruling in United States v. Berger. The court acknowledged that machine guns qualify as “arms” under the Second Amendment’s plain text, but still upheld the federal prohibition by declaring them dangerous and unusual—and not commonly used by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.
Mark and Sam examine the apparent contradiction between this decision and the Third Circuit’s recent landmark rulin...
