Bruen Keeps on Giving

[GaryS]

Pennsylvania Young Adult Gun'-'Carry Ban During Emergencies Found Unconstitutional | The Reload

In a 2-1 decision, a Third Circuit Court of Appeals panel blocked Pennsylvania from enforcing a trio of state statutes that together prohibit people between the ages of 18 and 20 from legally carrying firearms when a state of emergency is declared. The majority opinion, which reversed a lower court ruling, centered around the age at which the Second Amendment text protects Americans.

"The words the people in the Second Amendment presumptively encompass all adult Americans, including 18- to-20-year-olds, and we are aware of no founding-era law that supports disarming people in that age group", Judge Kent A. Jordan wrote in Lara v. Comm PA. State Police. "Accordingly, we will reverse and remand."

Key ingredient in the decision, “founding era.”

The Second Circuit in overturning some elements of NY’s end run around Bruen and upholding others wrongfully considered mid 19th century laws, and, I think, some early 20th century laws too.

For Bruen to work properly, the judges need to be intellectually honest. The 3rd judge was intellectually dishonest. It should have been 3-0.

The 9th Circuit as a whole is questionable at best when it comes to Heller, McDonald, Caetano and Bruen for example. Same with the 7th Circuit.
