It differentiates between 'malam in se' (inherently immoral) and 'malum prohibitum' (prohibited by law) crimes, arguing that activities like drug dealing and organized crime, due to their reliance on violence for contract enforcement, should be classified as physically violent dangerous crimes. This classification is crucial for determining who can be disarmed consistent with the Second Amendment, particularly in cases involving non-violent felonies.

The Supreme Court's 8-1 decision in Range v. Bondi (formerly Range v. Garland) has been deemed unconstitutional regarding federal laws prohibiting non-violent felons from possessing firearms. The DOJ has decided not to challenge this ruling, allowing it to stand.

The decision is considered narrow, focusing on specific circumstances like Brian Range's decades-old food stamp fraud conviction.

The Department of Justice has confirmed it will not appeal the Range v. Attorney General case to the Supreme Court. This decision upholds the Third Circuit's ruling that a federal law prohibiting firearm possession by individuals convicted of crimes punishable by more than one year imprisonment is unconstitutional as applied to non-violent offenders like Brian Range. The DOJ's stance signifies a potential shift, with the department also revitalizing an administrative process for restoring firearm rights.

This video details a significant legal victory for the Second Amendment community, specifically concerning the 'Felon in Possession' law. The Third Circuit US Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Brian Range, who challenged the federal ban on firearm possession following a misdemeanor conviction for food stamp fraud.

This ruling emphasizes the importance of historical tradition and the protection of law-abiding citizens under the Second Amendment, particularly after the Supreme Court's Bruen decision.

This video details a significant Second Amendment victory from the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in the case of Brian Range. The court ruled that the federal felon-in-possession law may violate the Second Amendment rights of individuals convicted of non-violent, trivial felonies, especially when the government cannot demonstrate a historical tradition supporting such disarmament.

The case is being considered by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, with potential for further appeal to the Supreme Court.

This video discusses a significant Third Circuit ruling that impacts the Second Amendment rights of non-violent felons.

The speaker, demonstrating experienced authority and knowledge of gun laws, highlights how this 'as applied' challenge could open the door for similar legal actions.

The Third Circuit Court of Appeals is granting an en banc review of Range v. Garland, a case challenging federal laws prohibiting individuals with non-violent felony convictions from possessing firearms. This case questions whether such prohibitions align with the Second Amendment's historical tradition, particularly after the Supreme Court's Bruin decision emphasized historical analysis over two-step approaches. The outcome could significantly impact the rights of individuals with past non-violent offenses.
