Frequently Asked Questions

When will the US Supreme Court announce decisions on new Second Amendment cases?

The US Supreme Court will conference on Monday to decide whether to hear several Second Amendment cases. The results of this conference, indicating which cases will be heard, are expected to be announced on Tuesday.

What are the key issues in the Antonyuk Second Amendment case before the Supreme Court?

The Antonyuk case presents two main questions: whether the Second Amendment should be interpreted based on its 1791 adoption or the 1868 adoption of the 14th Amendment, and if states can require applicants to show 'good moral character' for concealed carry permits after the Bruen decision.

How might the Supreme Court's ruling in the Rahimi case impact concealed carry laws?

The Rahimi decision suggested that individuals cannot be disarmed solely for being 'irresponsible.' This could challenge state laws requiring a showing of 'good moral character' to obtain a concealed carry permit, as this requirement might be seen as a broad disqualifier.

What is the significance of the Herren and Bevis cases for gun rights?

The Herren and Bevis cases challenge Illinois' bans on semi-automatic rifles and magazines. The Seventh Circuit's ruling in these cases is criticized for deviating from Supreme Court precedent like Heller, making them potential candidates for Supreme Court review.
