This video details a significant Second Amendment victory from the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in the case of Brian Range.

The Supreme Court is considering the case of Roundtree v. Garland, which questions whether non-violent felons retain Second Amendment rights. The case involves an individual convicted of a non-violent felony (failure to pay child support) who was later found in possession of a firearm.

The Supreme Court has denied certiorari in the case of Torres v. United States, meaning they will not hear the case. This case concerned whether individuals should lose their Second Amendment rights for a non-violent felony conviction. The speaker expresses disappointment, as many had hoped the current Supreme Court composition might address such issues, particularly given Justice Amy Coney Barrett's previous dissent in a similar case.
