This video explains the legal distinction between fundamental rights, like the right to bear arms, and civic rights, such as voting and jury duty. It argues that while fundamental rights are inherent and pre-exist society, civic rights are granted by society and can be revoked. This distinction is used to justify why non-violent felons might be denied the right to vote or serve on a jury, while still potentially retaining their Second Amendment rights.
This video features Mark W. Smith, a Constitutional Attorney and Top Voice of 2A in America, discussing a significant development in Second Amendment law. The Trump DOJ's decision not to appeal the Brian Range case to the Supreme Court means a Third Circuit ruling, which prevents the permanent disarmament of non-violent felons, will stand. This is framed as a major victory for gun rights, potentially paving the way for administrative restoration of rights.
