After Hemani, Bruen’s History and Tradition Test Has a New Target

Summary

The Supreme Court's 2022 Bruen decision, particularly its "History and Tradition" test, is leading to a re-evaluation of numerous gun control laws, making it harder for advocates to defend them. Following the *United States v. Hemani* ruling, key restrictions like state 'assault weapon' bans, high-capacity magazine bans, the federal felon disarmament ban (18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1)), and mandatory waiting periods are now vulnerable to constitutional challenges.
