US v Cockerham: #5thCir reverses: conviction for #firearm possession under 922(g)(1) violated #2ndAmendment where defendant's sole predicate offense was failure to pay child support #concur #dissent #Bruen #Rahimi #criminallaw #appellatesky #lawsky baffc.net/4pNOXd5
US v Reyes: #5thCir affirms felon-in-possession convictions/sentence, rejects constitutional challenges: #2ndAmendment facial & #CommerceClause challenges foreclosed; no #2ndAmendment violation as applied #Bruen #Rahimi #appellatesky #lawsky baffc.net/4l25vf1
The 10th Circuit joins the 6th and 5th in upholding 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(8)(C)(ii) against a facial Second Amendment challenge post-Rahimi in United States v. Gordon. www.ca10.uscourts.gov/sites/ca10/f... #Bruen #Rahimi #domesticviolence
Regarding the plain text step of the #Bruen framework the 4th Circuit wrote "The parties have not spilled ink on Bruen’s first step, and we need not do so either."The 4th Circuit noted that #SCOTUS in #Rahimi skipped the first step.
The 4th Circuit (King, Agee, and Harris) joins the 6th Circuit in upholding the federal prohibition on firearm possession by persons convicted of misdemeanor crimes of domestic violence against a facial 2A challenge in United States v. Nutter. www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/u... #Rahimi #Bruen

Rahimi (2024) clarified Bruen: courts should focus on historical principles behind regulations, not simply search for exact historical matches. 8th Circuit may have misapplied this standard. #SCOTUS #Rahimi
Another slightly outdated case, but one I've been thinking a lot about recently is the 6th Circuit decision in United States v. Comb upholding 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(8)(C)(ii) against a Second Amendment challenge. #Bruen #Rahimi #DomesticViolence

One of the first #ERPO cases I have seen post-Rahimi predictably found that California's ERPO, called a GVRO, did not violate the Second Amendment. #Bruen #Rahimi #lawsky "cases.justia.com/california/court-of-appe...

Thrilled to hear Kelly Roskam (JohnsHopkinsCenter) talking with @dahlialithwick.bsky.social and @mjsdc.bsky.social about #Rahimi and #SCOTUS. Great interview! Required listening to understand what is at stake -- and that this is not a "win." www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmB2...
#VAWA was passed in 1994 to provide victims of abuse with federal support & protection. As part of this law, abusers under restraining orders would not be allowed to possess or own a firearm. The #Rahimi case brought this extremely effective law in jeopardy. 1/7
