This video discusses a Second Circuit ruling upholding New York's ammunition background check requirements. The court determined that these checks do not "meaningfully constrain" the right to keep and bear arms under the first step of the Bruen framework, thus not implicating the Second Amendment. This decision creates a circuit split with the Ninth Circuit's ruling in Roodie v. Bont, which struck down similar laws.
The Second Circuit upheld New York's ammunition background check requirements, ruling they do not "meaningfully constrain" the right to keep and bear arms under the first step of the Bruen framework. This decision creates a circuit split with the Ninth Circuit, which previously found similar laws unconstitutional.
This video analyzes the First Circuit Court's decision in Beckwith v. Frey, which upheld Maine's 72-hour firearm waiting period. The court ruled that this delay does not directly infringe on the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, classifying it as a condition on commercial sale rather than a prohibition. This interpretation bypasses the historical tradition test required by the Bruen framework, raising concerns about future challenges to firearm access.
