Ep. 50 - The Third Circuit's Ruling on Gun Rights Across America

This episode dives into a major Third Circuit ruling striking down New Jersey’s long-standing assault weapons and high-capacity magazine ban, and what that decision could mean for Second Amendment law nationwide. Josh is joined by constitutional and civil rights attorney Will Trachman, who explains how recent Supreme Court cases like Heller and Bruen reshaped gun-rights litigation by shifting the burden onto the government to prove historical support for firearm restrictions. Together, they discuss how appellate court decisions can ripple beyond one state, influencing challenges to waiting-period laws, permit-to-purchase regimes, and other firearm regulations across the country. The conversation also highlights the practical stakes for Americans, the likelihood of Supreme Court review, and why activists and ordinary citizens alike are being urged to stay informed, engaged, and fearless in defending constitutional rights.
