BREAKING NEWS: IMPORTANT NON-VIOLENT FELON RULING OUT JUST NOW!
This video discusses the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit's ruling in United States v. Zirka, concerning the constitutionality of 18 USC 922(g)(1) as applied to nonviolent felons. While the court acknowledged that 'the people' in the Second Amendment includes all citizens and that 1791 is the relevant historical period for interpretation, it ultimately upheld the ban on firearm possession for felons. The speaker criticizes the court's reliance on historically odious laws, such as those disarming religious minorities and people of color, as justification, arguing these are not valid historical analogs for disarming nonviolent felons.
