An Obama-appointed judge has struck down a federal gun law, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5), as it applies to an individual in the United States unlawfully but with no criminal record. The ruling, citing the Bruen decision and cases like Range v. Attorney General, suggests that prohibiting firearm possession by non-citizens solely based on their immigration status may be unconstitutional if they are otherwise law-abiding and pose no public safety risk. This decision highlights the ongoing re-evaluation of existing gun laws through a modern constitutional lens.
