Duration: 14:02

This video discusses a critical court order in the Brian Range v. Garland ATF case concerning the Second Amendment rights of non-violent felons. The US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has ordered supplemental briefing following the Supreme Court's remand in light of the *United States v. Rahimi* decision. The core issue is whether a conviction for a non-violent felony, particularly one where the potential sentence exceeds one year but involves no actual violence, should result in a lifetime firearm prohibition under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). The speaker anticipates the Third Circuit will reaffirm its previous ruling that such prohibitions are unconstitutional for non-violent offenders.
