Ah yes, the whole act of "taxing" an inherent right. Not that Tim will ever spend any time railing against violations of the Constitution, I believe he's clearly said he'd be happy to violate most people's rights.
@@constitutionalright827 his hands are bound with "regulations". Sell what you can.. How many mom and pop stores are being eliminated? All I know is my pistol sure is difficult to conceal carry daily. Always the magazine poking out.
@@Commune-1 If we are being 1000% honest, we ALL know exactly what we were "getting away with". Not talking about the people who actually use them as designed, but we all knew it was just a workaround.
Tim, the ATF has no rule making authority. Congress can't delegate law making out to other federal corporate agencies, it must go through Congress to have any effect, as upheld by multiple Supreme Court rulings, most recently the EPA vs. West Virginia case. And this applies to all agencies, including but not limited to the ATF and the IRS. These corporate entities don't have power over we the people. We need to start acting like it.
Well, that's a commendable le position, and things should work that way. Congress has abrogated its responsibility in allowing these so called "enforcement " agencies to decide policy. Congress needs to be held to account for the blatant ambiguity and abuse of power that they allow to these agencies. As it stands now, these agencies can and have ruined lives.
I'm pretty sure Congress passed an act allowing itself to delegate rules and interpretation of laws they have passed to agencies tasked with enforcement. Surely we should know this rather than just complain that it is wrong. At least then we'd know the specific legal hold ups. Edit: I looked it up. Hard to find, but this looks right: Rulemaking is largely governed by standards set forth in the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. § 551 et seq.). An act passed by Congress in 1946 guides.loc.gov/administrative-law/rules#%3A~%3Atext%3DCongress%20grants%20rulemaking%20authority%20to%2Csubstantial%20implications%20for%20policy%20implementation."
@RuggedIrish absolutley correct+ what we should complain about is the abrogation of law making responsibilities by Congress. More correctly, they allow these arbitrary enforcement rules to carry the weight of law, without congress themselves regularly reviewing those rules in detail!
This guy is an enemy against the Second Amendment. Never apologized for his multiple statements on infringement. As a fellow veteran, I am sick of people like him using his credentials to support gun grabbing. PASS.
This you? “I believe gun control is a massive solution.” “I don’t think a 19 year old kid should have access to an AR-15. I don’t think he should be able to buy a pistol, but fortunately he can’t, but if you can’t buy a pistol how can you buy a semi-automatic AR, that doesn’t make sense to me.”
More recently than that video he said the opposite on john lovells pod. However I did see the video aforementioned. I think he might have realized the error in his thinking and changed his mind. Maybe he is just afraid of losing his base and so is saying his feelings are different. Idk but we do know he is an ally. The smartest ally? The most useful ally? Probably not but an ally nonetheless.
You know when I was 19, I was carrying fully automatic M4's, was standing overseas security teams armed with M240N's and M2 .50 Cal MG's. But HOW DARE I come home and get an AR-15 and protect myself and my family. PSA, don't say you support 2A and then look like you're enjoying yourself talking about the unconstitutional laws. Biggest hypocrite.
@devinaugust9565 At least YOU qualify to own one of these in Tim's mind. While we all appreciate his service. His actions since have shown him to have not really meant his oath.
Sounds like you are on track to knowing why you should never serve again and if you have children or grandchildren ward them off from doing so as well! You know what? Not just your kids and grand kids but any kid that will listen!
@@ramhammer10-4 No. Nobody is exempt. To this day I have to tell active duty soldiers, below 21, that they aren't allowed to buy handguns because they're not old enough. Yet, at their job, they're serving and caring M4's. It's a disgrace, really.
@@DaveJos not if you know Tim...go look up Tim Kennedy and Double Check...he's for private background checks more invasive than the federal ones. He also does not support the right to keep and bear arms for civilians, wants gun control of various forms. He tries to restate the position since called out, but then goes on another interview saying much the same again. He wants more, whatever the rules are. He's not satisfied how many there are now, and made that very clear. Meanwhile, the 2A community wants the NFA repealed or overturned, the GCA, etc. Tim doesn't.
@@DaveJos I boycott any channel that interviews Tim. Look up Tim and Double Check...he's for private gun control worse than the government's. He's said civilians shouldn't have the same right to arms he does as a vet. He is not for repeal of the NFA or GCA. He is not in the 2A community, as far as most of us are concerned. He's a celebrity vet...that's it.
Off topic -Mr. Kennedy, I recently put my oldest daughter into an Apogee school. And it’s the best decision we made. She absolutely loves it. I found it about the schools from following you. Thank you sir. And Thank you for your service.
That is great to hear. We are working our butts off. If we don’t fix our education system, our country is doomed. This next generation are our future leaders and we HAVE to fight for them.
@TimkennedyMMA why did you help create an AI program to prohibit people from buying firearms who otherwise wouldn't be for stuff like social media posts and dismissed criminal charges but you lie and say you love the second amendment? Double check is what it's called. You're a walking infringement
Hey Tim, has your gun store ever sold an AR to a 19 year old combat veteran who's just gotten back from a deployment to Afghanistan where he regularly carried and used a SAW, 240B, or M4? 🤔 I don't envy you in the least because I'd hate to be the guy whose hypocrisy is pointed out every time I make a statement or video about firearms...
I wanted to add that it is illegal to convert your AR rifle into a pistol. If you buy an AR rifle and change out the stock to a brace and change the upper to less than 16in, it is illegal. You can convert a pistol to a rifle but not a rifle to a pistol.
@@ethanking4954 start with a new stripped receiver, build a pistol.. Pin and weld a barrel extension of some kind. I like the fake suppressors. But remember that a pistol over "26 inches in length is an "any other weapon" requiring a tax stamp. Best to swap brace with a stock as you would your barrel. I've got a 20" and a 10.3" as well as a .300 blackout 16".
Young man at the age of 18 ALL constitutional rights like voting gun ownership are now yours. All who say otherwise are anti constitution and PISS poor americans
yes it was weird that he mentioned gun club/trusts for owning SBR's ect and or taxing parts that video, and generally body language/tone was off not-sure how but subconsciously i noticed something... but even this video shows the 3-ring circus enforcement activity has ended up being and it's better to sticking with no-AFT-ect and not on parole/felon and can afford/owning it let-it-be and not infringement on-others ect yes estates planning is parts of regular life and yes this's is parts of why i supporter of marriage licenses and LGBTQIA+-right's as some thinking there's a way legally speaking to not having the government involvement and completely do away with those things/law but then it miss-up other things like will's/workplaces-protection's/insurance's ect and it's just way easier to open it up to all consenting-adult's/all-types of relationships with some compromises like limiting numbers of SO's to under 5 as a example
From Tim’s own mouth - “I believe gun control is a massive solution.” “I don’t think a 19 year old kid should have access to an AR-15. I don’t think he should be able to buy a pistol, but fortunately he can’t, but if you can’t buy a pistol how can you buy a semi-automatic AR, that doesn’t make sense to me.”
If you can't understand the difference, then it shows that you are ignorant. And I mean that in the true sense of the word, not as an insult. Laws don't care about your opinions. They don't necessarily make sense, but you don't get to arbitrarily interject or change them. That is Congress' job.
@user-fq4iz9dt6l Tim Kennedy has a fudd view of the 2nd. He apparently flip flopped on that view in a half ass way to save face. He's made it clear in an podcast he doesn't think an 18 yr. Old should have an ar15.
Why is the concept of regulating firearms at all not challenged in court? “The right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed” does not discuss any qualification of any “arms”. Possession of any Rifles, pistols, shotguns, cannon, knives, clubs, vehicles, battering, rams, grenades (aka petard), and any other weapon, is liable to get the bearer arrested in virtually every major city inside the USA, which is all together in violation of the second amendment.
Good job explaining it in layman terms. The new ATF gun laws about braces, stock, length, rifles, SBR, pistol is extremely frustrating, confusing, and scary since law enforcement are not updated or knowledgeable with them and they are just as confused like us with the new ATF tax stamp/registration laws. If cops see you in a blue state such as California with an sbr or a pistol with a brace, they would automatically harass you and give you hell and demand if you have a federal TAX STAMP and if its registered, that is if they haven't shot you dead yet. As a pistol-with-brace owner nowadays you have to be assertive and knowledgeable with law enforcement. It gets more complicated with different state laws. This is one reason people are moving out of California aside the housing price crisis.
Let's be honest, it's all a vocabulary game. SBR's and Pistols with a brace are the same thing and the ATF is out of line trying to regulate something as irrelevant as 4-8 inches of barrel length.
Makes no sense when he says the rules are stupid and is just trying to explain them to the people that have no idea that they are a felon overnight because of what they have owned for years! Pay attention... Explain to me how he is in favor of these rules or the ATF... I just don't see it! He owns a Gunshop and has to know this stuff and makes a video to pass the right info to the people that may have no clue like several of the people i know! Is it stupid that he had to make the video? Hell, yes, it's stupid because the A T F makes no sense and has no authority to make these laws etc.!
Oh This bad ass Master Sergeant who was Army special forces, who also fought in the UFC? Still trains as a 3rd degree black belt in BJJ. I don't think he would say a thing. He has asked very bad men to come find him, it's teal easy, lol. Kennedy is a G.
Ya he made a stupid statement but honestly the way kids are nowadays and way less responsible it's understandable. I don't think they should be able to even vote until they are 21 if the government says they are not smart enough to make a decision on tobacco products.. They want them to vote though because they are very susceptible to propaganda.

Mistake In Video - Excellent video. It definitely explained the distinctions clearly and I Thank You. The only mistake was at 2:30, you verbally state minimum length of 26 inches, and the video states "LESS" than 26 inches.for overall length. That threw me off at first, but beyond that, it is an excellent video.
YOU START OUT BY STATING THAT THE ATF DOESN'T REGULATE "ACCESSORIES".... YET, THEN, LATED, YOU SHOW A LONG LIST OF "RULES" PERTAINING TO "BRACES"... WTF???!!!
The definition for pistol is lacking because proper stance utilizes two hands. Of course you could use one if you wanted to, but you could technically shoot a rifle with one hand too. 🤷🏻♂️
Tim it would be nice to have touched on weight constraints and magnified vs non magnified optics and how the ATF views those when defining pistols vs. rifles. With the recent supreme court rulings, how much power does the ATF still have when creatively defining or redefining their “rules”?
And Tim in your opinion, most people shouldn't own either. So what are you doing trying to run a RU-vid channel like you actually support the 2A? Don't you have some ActBlue donations to make?
I'm all for getting rid of the ATF and their nonsense.... but, and I say this as UK resident not an American, the idea that any of those braces are NOT designed to be fired from the shoulder is plainly a joke. Almost everyone using a brace uses it as a stock. Again, you should have the right to an SBR without ATF approval IMHO. But pretending that braced "pistols" aren't designed to be fired from the shoulder is just disingenuous.
SBR is a novelty in the US, pistol is the way to go if you actually plan to use it. I own both, SBR stays in the safe save for range days, pistol goes in the truck with me at all times.
Tim, you don't love the Second Amendment. You may love firearms but you're not pro 2A bro. You said if you're on meds or aren't 21 you shouldn't be able to purchase a firearm and you and some anti 2A activists came up with an AI program that would prohibit more people from buying firearms that otherwise wouldn't be for shit like offensive social media posts, websites they visited and criminal charges that were dismissed.
@jasonsierchio1167 he literally founded a program called double check protect that uses AI to prevent people from buying guns based on a social credit score like communist China or something. Even if he did walk those statements back he is actually trying to infringe on the 2A.
You don’t understand the 2nd amendment to being with. I agree with Tim, there are certain criteria that SHOULD keep you from buying a weapon. Domestic violence offenders are already on the list for one.
@rogeliorodriguez8518 the people who should not be able to buy guns like domestic abusers and mentally insane people are already legally prohibited. You, sir, don't understand the Second Amendment or more, so don't support the Second Amendment if you are cool with FFLs using an AI program that scours through your social media to restrict you from buying firearms over things you posted or sites you visited.
There's some bad information in here. It's not simply a matter of putting a brace on it or putting a stock on it, that determines whether you have a pistol or an SBR. You can't just take a rifle and swap out the upper for a shorter barrel, and then throw a brace on it. Once a rifle, always a rifle. What matters is how the gun was originally "designed" when it was serialized and how it was designated when transferred. Ironically, if you buy a "pistol", you can put a 16" or longer upper on it all you want, and switch it back to a shorter barrel whenever you want. Once a pistol, always a pistol. In other words, just make sure that all your AR lowers are "pistols", and then do whatever you want with your uppers. Side note, if you own an AR "rifle" and you buy just an upper with a barrel less than 16". The ATF can and will charge you with "contructive possession" of an SBR. So again...just stick with "pistol" lowers, which are generally covered by your CCW while "rifles" are typically not, but check your state laws to be sure on that one.
@@JamieFaux-qi6ip That's incorrect. The 26" overall length rule comes from the NFA and only applies to rifles and shotguns. Essentially they have to be more than 26" OAL and have a 16" barrel, 18" for shotguns. Obviously this is all a confusing mess that makes no sense, which only proves that it's all unconstitutional anyway. Out of this mess they created a whole other class of firearm called "other", which is basically a weapon that's over 26" in total length, but has a shorter barrel, but no stock. This is why the Mossberg Shockwave is legal. It's not a pistol, but it's technically not a shotgun either. As far as ARs go, the lower receiver is the firearm, only because the design of the platform presented a huge problem for the poorly written unconstitutional laws. So they arbitrarily selected the lower as the part that must be serialized. It's completely subjective, and arguably neither the upper or the lower is actually a firearm, but you can see what a problem that presents for tyrants. So, whatever the lower is originally configured as, is what it is. If it's a pistol from the factory, then it's always a pistol. You can put a 24" upper on it and it's still a pistol. There's no restriction on how long a pistol can be, only on how short a rifle can be, and it's a combination of specific factors that make it a "rifle", such as being "designed" to be fired from the shoulder.
Think you haven’t had your gun rights infringed? Timothy Cunning's 1771 legal dictionary, the definition of "arms" is "any thing that a man wears for his defence, or takes into his hands, or useth in wrath to cast at or strike another." This definition implies any arm is bearable, even if the arm isn't portable (i.e. able to be carried). As a matter of fact, see the complaint in Clark v. Garland (which is on appeal from dismissal in the 10th Circuit), particularly pages 74-78. In this section, history shows that people have privately owned cannons and warships, particularly during the Revolutionary War against the British, and it mentions that just because that an arm isn't portable doesn't mean that it's not bearable.
Great video. As a new gun guy, i found these rules so damn confusing.. i mean clearly any AR is NOT a pistol, but theres so many damn laws to jump around. Also, why are so many people hating on Tim? I dont get that one either.
