2nd Amendment Victory Sends Clear Message About Government Overreach

In a landmark decision for gun owners, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit recently ruled in favor of two plaintiffs, Gerald Novak and Adam Wenzel, in a case that raises important questions about government overreach and the Second Amendment. The case revolves around the seizure of 14 firearms by the Saginaw County Sheriff’s Department in Michigan, which Novak and Wenzel claimed as their property.

Despite no evidence that the firearms were involved in the criminal act that led to their confiscation, the sheriff refused to return the guns, citing a lack of proof of ownership. This legal battle, now on appeal for the third time, highlights the tension between individual rights and governmental authority.
