Courts issue conflicting gun control rulings despite Supreme Court guidance Washington Examiner
—
Federal courts across the country are handing back disparate rulings over federal and state gun laws despite nearly back-to-back Second Amendment cases at the Supreme Court that sought to clarify the scope of the right to bear arms.
Although the Supreme Court’s landmark 2022 decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen held that gun regulations must align with the nation’s “history and tradition” of firearms laws and a separate case this summer called Rahimi v. U.S. upheld firearm prohibitions for domestic violence offenders, lower federal courts are still struggling to achieve consistency, as shown by three major decisions last week alone.
