The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has ruled in favor of non-violent felons regarding gun possession rights. The case involved Bryan Range, who appealed a District Court's summary judgment that rejected his claim against the federal 'felon-in-possession' law, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). The court noted that there is no historical precedent for disarming non-violent felons, marking a notable legal victory for gun rights advocates. Meanwhile, the 6th Circuit has dismissed a GOP lawsuit aimed at reviving the Independent State Legislature theory, which sought to limit the use of ballot initiatives to protect voting rights in federal elections, affirming a win for Michigan voters. Additionally, an Illinois appeals court is currently hearing a challenge to the state's gun ID law.
