10TH CIRCUIT: Gun Rights Don’t Apply in Domestic Violence Cases.
Doug Berman writes: “As I have said before and will say again, anyone seriously committed to the Second Amendment and gun rights getting serious constitutional respect should be seriously disturbed by how willing and eager lower courts have been to accept federal prosecutors’ arguments that Heller is of no consequence for an array of broad and severe federal gun possession crimes.” Domestic violence is real problem currently enjoying the status of “moral panic,” meaning that the Constitution doesn’t apply, much as it doesn’t apply to the drug war.
