I say use a chainsaw<\/strong>, like Marcel Ledbetter did<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Yesterday, a Texas federal judge struck down 922(g)(8)<\/a><\/p>\n

Before Bruen, the Second Amendment looked like an abandoned cabin in the woods.
\nA knot of vines, weeds, and roots, left unkempt for decades, crawling up the cabin\u2019s sides as if pulling it under the earth. Firearm regulations are that overgrowth. Starting with the Federal Firearms Act in 1938, laws were passed with little\u2014if any\u2014consideration given to their constitutionality.
\nThat is, until the Supreme Court intervened in Bruen.<\/p>\n

No longer can lower courts account for public policy interests, historical analysis being the only tool. But after growing unchecked for almost 100 years, today\u2019s tangle of gun laws has left lower courts with a gordian knot.
\nAnd after engaging with this Nation\u2019s tradition of firearm regulations several times already, the Court\u2019s unanswered question is whether Bruen demands lower courts manicure the Second Amendment\u2019s landscape by scalpel or chainsaw.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

…this Court’s opinion says nothing about whether a state court could remove someone’s guns through conditions of release or a restraining order.<\/p>\n

“But if the Second Amendment can be read separate from the First as the Government argues, the history of disarming someone because of political allegiance oaths could be used to justify disarming political dissidents today.<\/p>\n

Another problem is that \u00a7 922(g)(8) prohibits possession of a gun even if the state court order doesn’t. Indeed, \u00a7 922(g)(8) does not require that the court order prohibit possessing a gun.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
