This video discusses the US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit's decision in US v. James Gould, which upheld the constitutionality of federal gun control law 18 USC 922G4. The court ruled that individuals involuntarily committed due to mental illness can lose their Second Amendment rights, affirming that historical traditions support disarming those deemed a danger to themselves or others. While the facial challenge failed, the court left open the possibility for as-applied challenges for individuals not currently posing a danger.
