Added: 2026-05-20

[00:00:00]Major breaking news as the war against gun registries continues a pace in this great country as the gun owners of America is attacking the ATF for maintaining an illegal gun registry. And guess what? Attorney General of Florida James, a huge supporter of the Second Amendment, is on the war path against the city of Jacksonville for allegedly keeping an illegal gun registry under Florida law. Let's break all this down as the trend continues to be our friend in America as the war for our rights continues. Let's talk about it when we come right back.

[00:00:40]Hey folks, I'm Mark Smith, host of the four box of dino, proud American gun owner, constitutional attorney, member of the United States Supreme Court Bar and top voice of the second amendment in America. Thank you. 2025 and also 2026 Gundy's awards. All right, folks.

[00:00:54]Exciting news. Exciting news as we fight for our rights all across America.

[00:01:00]The attorney general of Florida, James Ethmier, has just announced a major lawsuit against the city of Jacksonville arguing that they maintained an illegal gun registry of privately owned firearms. He has now announced a lawsuit over Jacksonville after a local prosecutor refused to prosecute the Rland people for a crime.

[00:01:26]Here is what James Umar has to say in announcing this lawsuit against Jacksonville and why he's doing what he's doing to fight for our Second Amendment rights. And I applaud his efforts in doing so. Let's turn it over to him right now.

[00:01:41]>> I'm Attorney General James Meyer. Since I took office a little over a year ago, we've made significant gains on reclaiming the Second Amendment rights of Flidians, and we are just getting started. For instance, we asked the US Supreme Court to overturn Florida's firearm purchase ban on adults who are old enough to join the military. We also brought back open carry for the first time in nearly 40 years. And today we are suing the city of Jacksonville for knowingly maintaining an illegal gun registry in violation of Florida law. In July 2023, after Mayor Degan took office, Jacksonville City Management approved and implemented a log book, a gun registry that required security officers to screen visitors and record the visitors name, age, stateisssued ID number, and the weapon type of anyone found to be carrying a firearm.

[00:02:38]Jacksonville continued this practice until April 2025 when an individual attempted to enter a city building while legally carrying a firearm. The individual was unlawfully denied entry by security officers on duty when he would not provide the requested information. Florida law prohibits government entities from keeping a registry of privatelyowned firearms or their owners. The city's log books maintained with city management's knowledge and approval constitute such a registry. We are requesting judgment against the city of Jacksonville for $5 million as provided by law and any other relief the court deems appropriate. The second amendment is not a secondass right and we will use all power of this office to protect the rights of flityians. Thank you.

[00:03:29]>> And that's great stuff. And by the way, apparently under the statute, it looks like the city of Jacksonville could potentially be on the hook for millions of dollars in damages and probably some sort of injunction and maybe judicial relief that requires them to destroy all these records of privately owned firearms. So, we'll keep you uh we'll keep you informed of this particular lawsuit, but obviously James Um down there as the attorney general of Florida is doing a fantastic job and obviously has a very bright future somewhere in America. Who knows what that will be, but I'm sure it's going to be bright.

[00:04:02]Now, let's move on to the next related topic about how the gun owners of America is fighting to destroy any illegal gun registries being maintained by the federal government, including these former 4473, these 4473 forms that gun companies when they go out of business have to turn them over to the ATF. and uh whether or not the ATF has been taking this information and digitalizing it, meaning you know digitizing it in the sense of making it electronic so you can search the names and all this kind of stuff. So there looks like there's some real shenanigans going on over there. But I'm happy to report that the gun owners of America under Eric Pratt is on the case and is fighting hard for our rights by arguing that any such materials should be destroyed and eliminated so this does not occur again. Before we get to some of the comments by the gun owners of America, I want to remind everyone that it is illegal. It is illegal under federal law. Remember the James Umar case involved a Florida statute that he's using to sue the city of Jacksonville over the city of Jacksonville's maintain maintenance of an alleged illegal gun registry of private gun owners and their guns. But under federal law, there's a whole separate set of laws that preclude the registration of firearms because our founding fathers understood this and this was understood all the way through World War II and beyond that we do not want gun owner registries. We do not want firearm registries where you can connect the guns with the owners because that makes it a lot easier for a tyrannical government to figure out where the guns are and take them. And this was acknowledged by none other than then judge today, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaaugh in the year of our Lord 2011 when he wrote a dissenting opinion in a case called Heler 2 that dealt with uh the registration of firearms by the District of Columbia. And then Judge Brett Kavanaaugh explained in detail that there is zero historical tradition of maintaining gun owner registries or gun registries in the United States because going all the way back to our founding fathers, we absolutely did not want the government to know where the guns were. In fact, never forget that and I've been hammering home on this for some time and I think a lot of people picked up on this. The shot heard round the world in 1775 in April 1775 at the battles of Lexon and Conquered. What was going on there?

[00:06:37]The British soldiers had left Boston and the lobsterbacks were going not to rape and pillage the countryside, right? No, they were going to seize the private guns of the American colonist and to arrest Samuel Adams and John Hancock.

[00:06:57]So, they were going to arrest some colonists, but more importantly, they were trying to seize the guns. And that is literally what started the American Revolution. It was not about taxes. It was not about the intolerable acts. It was not about all that nonsense you learn about in school. It was about the guns. That's why we have the battle of Lexon and conquered and the shot herd around the world is because the British were going to take the guns and we said no can do when it comes to guns and guess what bad things happen to the British and we're the United States today. So that goes all the way back to the found this notion that we do not want gun registries. We do not want gun owner registries. This is verbotton not allowed. Specifically, if you take a look at federal law and I'll just give you these quotes because it's helpful to you guys to understand this. If you look at the Gun Control Act, specifically 18USC 18USC 926A. Okay, I'm going to put it on the screen. 18USC 926A. Here's what it provides in relevant part. The attorney general of the United States may prescribe only such rules and regulations as are necessary to carry out the provisions of this chapter of the Gun Control Act. Listen carefully.

[00:08:00]No such rule or regulation prescribed after the date of the enactment of the Firearms Owners Protection Act. That's in 1986.

[00:08:11]No such rule may require that records be required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed or controlled by the United States or any state or any political subdivision thereof. Nor, listen carefully, nor that any system of registration of firearms, right? nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners or firearms transactions or dispositions be established. Period.

[00:08:47]Exactly right. It's literally in the Gun Control Act. No registration of guns or gun owners or transactions or any of that stuff can be maintained by the federal government. Beyond that, if you look at the law that created the NYX system, you have the same kind of language. Check it out. Under title 34 US code section 4901 which established the ny system. It provides prohibition relating to establishment of registration systems with respect to firearms. No department, agency, officer, or employee of the United States may require that any record or portion thereof, generated by the system established under this section be recorded at, or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States, or any state or political subdivision thereof, or use the system established under this section, that's the next system, under this section to establish any any system for the registration of firearms, the registration of firearm owners or the registration of firearm transactions except with respect to persons prohibited by section 922G or N of title 18. Of course, that is the list of prohibited people. Exactly right. Again, federal law. And by the way, right at the start of World War II, remember the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, Pearl Harbor Day. Okay. A few months before that, I think it was in September 1941, there was a major law enacted by the Congress and signed into law, I believe, by Franklin President Roosevelt. And what the law provided was really the procurement of private stuff to fight the war. So basically was saying that you know if we need to go over to a uh auto manufacturing plant and tell them they got to start making airplanes or we need to go to a pharmacy you got to start making you know beef for the army.

[00:10:46]We have the authority to do that to protect America and fight a war. That was in I think September of 1941 a few months before Pearl Harbor.

[00:10:57]Why did I bring this up? because it specifically excluded it specifically excluded the ability of Congress to seize private guns for the war effort. That's right.

[00:11:11]So even though the Congress and the president gave itself the power to seize and co-opt a lot of assets in the United States to fight the Japanese and or the Nazis, whatever was common, they thought they specifically excluded the ability to seize the guns because of Second Amendment concerns. So this concern about seizing guns, gun confiscation, gun registration, gun owner registration, this is not a new thing.

[00:11:36]This is not a 21st century concern. This goes all the way back to before we were even a country. And it includes the leadup to World War II and the laws that I just read you. And that is because we understand that the whole purpose of gun registries and gun owner registration forms and all that kind of stuff is so that tyrannical government figures and bad people who want to do bad things to us know where the guns are so they can grab the guns and leave us defenseless so we cannot defend ourselves in any respect. And as you know from the groundbreaking historical work of Steven Halbrook who literally wrote the definitive book, the definitive book on the Nazi Third Reich and gun control. He points out in detail in that book and if you haven't read Steven Halick's book on, you know, the Third Reich and Nazis and gun control, you should definitely check it out. It's maybe 20 years old now, but it goes back it translated German documents from German archives and all the stuff to lay out what happened. And of course, what happened there was that there was a compilation of gun owners and guns and all this leading up to the Nazis taking power.

[00:12:46]And what the Nazis did when they took power, they had these list already prepared for them, but they weren't even prepared by the Nazis. They were prepared by other people. and the Nazis came into power and got a hold of these list and knew where to go to take the guns and seize the gun owners and do all that and we know what happened. So yes, we do never ever want to be disarmed as a population because as the youngest Supreme Court justice ever, Joseph Story, who was appointed to the Supreme Court by President James Madison, who actually wrote the Constitution, it was Justice Joseph Story who literally said that the armed citizenry and the second amendment was the palladium of the liberties of our republic. Meaning it's the bull work. It's the thing that protects all other liberties here as Americans. It is the right to keep and bear arms. It is the second amendment.

[00:13:41]It is the armed citizen. It is the armed citizens. All of that keeps us protected from bad people that want to do bad things to us. And of course, gun registries is a major step toward gun confiscation and disarming us and removing that palladium of the republic, that protector of the republic that we all enjoy today. So anyway, with that said, uh we have to congratulate Gun Owners of America for fighting hard in uh uh and trying to stop this illegal gun registry. I will put a link, by the way, to a proposed letter that Gun Owners of America is uh encouraging people to submit as part of commentary period to these 34 proposed ATF regulations, some of which talk about this issue of the illegal gun registry that the ATF has compiled over the years. I'll put a link to the model uh letter that the gun owners of America is encouraging people to look at and submit. You can take a look at that. Uh if you feel the need, it's it's quite good. It's quite a good letter. And of course, we also congratulate James Omire on another attempt to fight hard for our second amendment rights. So again, I can I think the trend continues to be our friend in favor of the right to keep and bear arms. And there's a lot more battles to be fought, but it's good to see people uh you know, in positions of authority and influence uh fighting for our rights. Uh that is always a good thing. So anyway, there you have it folks. I hope you enjoyed today's episode. Make sure you follow me over there on x forbox. Don't forget to subscribe both the YouTube and the rumble and I will talk to all of you again real soon here at the four boxes diner. Orders up. Table 2 A.
