This video details a significant Second Amendment victory where the Department of Justice, under Attorney General Pam Bondi, allowed a court ruling to stand that benefits individuals convicted of non-violent, felony-equivalent offenses. The case, Bryan Range v. Attorney General, challenged the lifetime firearm ban under 18 USC 922(g)(1) for such convictions. The ruling, influenced by the Bruen decision, requires the government to demonstrate historical tradition for firearm prohibitions, a burden they failed to meet in this instance for non-violent offenders.
