[Stephen Halbrook] Second Amendment Roundup: Circuit Conflict in Felon Gun Ban Cases https://t.co/zrnQ7TH0cy
The U.S. Supreme Court has opted not to address the ongoing confusion surrounding gun statutes, particularly in a case involving a man who concealed firearms in deep fryers. Meanwhile, the Third Circuit Court has reaffirmed its decision to strike down Pennsylvania's law that prohibited individuals aged 18 to 20 from openly carrying firearms during states of emergency. This ruling comes after the Supreme Court previously sent the case back for reconsideration in light of the Rahimi decision. Additionally, the 5th Circuit upheld a federal law that prevents individuals under felony indictment from purchasing firearms, reversing a Texas judge's ruling that deemed the statute unconstitutional. The Third Circuit's recent confirmation of its stance indicates a broader trend of courts addressing conflicts in gun rights legislation.
