Victory in 3rd Circuit

Lara v. Com. Of State Police (3rd Cir. 2025):

"CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, we will reverse the decisionof the District Court and remand with instructions to enter an
injunction forbidding the Commissioner from arresting law-abiding 18-to-20-year-olds who openly carry firearms during a
state of emergency declared by the Commonwealth."

The decision ruled that 18-20-year-olds are people within the meaning of the Second Amendment.

Another Victory

Atkinson v. Garland (7th Cir. 2023) directs the district court to rehear Atkinson's conviction for felon in possession of a gun.  Atkinson pled guilty to felony mail fraud in 1998 and has kept his nose (or at least his criminal record) cleans since then.  The Court of Appeals did a vacate and remand and pretty clearly told the district court that Bruen changed everything.

I have no idea what color Atkinson is but I know that 25 percent of blacks have felony convictions. I suspect many are non-violent offenses dating back manyvyears.  Lots of people do stupid things when young and learn from the mistakes.
