State v. Cory S. Herrmann, 2015 WI App 97; case activity (including briefs)In light of the Second Amendment decisions in District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), and McDonald v. City of Chicago, 561 U.S. 742 (2010), Wisconsin’s prohibition on the possession of a switchblade knife, § 941.24(1), is unconstitutional as applied to a person who possesses a switchblade in his or her own home.Herrmann injured himself with his switchblade in his home, so a friend called 911.

Both parties argued that the 2nd Amendment allowed them to carry these “weapons” and their rights were violated by charges under MCL 750.224a. The court, looking to DC v Heller, 554 US 570; 128 S Ct 2783; 171 Led2d 637(2008), declared that tasers are protected arms because they do not fit into any of the Heller exceptions. Because tasers are protected arms, it would be unconstitutional to ban them from private citizens’ homes.

2010) [PDF version], and the three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit had correctly considered whether California's licensing scheme as a whole violated the Second Amendment in its effective prohibition of carrying a weapon for self-defense by responsible and law-abiding citizens.Justice Thomas then took the position that “[h]ad the en banc Ninth Circuit answered the question actually at issue in this case, it likely would have been compelled to reach the opposite result.” To this effect, Justice Thomas cited to the Supreme Court's landmark decision in District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 580 (2008)[1] [PDF version], wherein the Court held that the Second Amendment protects the right of individuals to possess arms for lawful purposes, with one example being self-defense within the home. Justice Thomas — a member of the five-justice majority in Heller - stated that Heller suggested that the Second Amendment “protects the right to carry firearms in public in some fashion.”

ghost of the Court’s reproductive rights case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, 597 U.S. 215 (2022), in which similar arguments were made, to no avail. The dissenters argued that the case should have been disposed of on narrow procedural grounds. Examining the lengthy discussion of what might have been a simple matter, one notes the increasing frequency of debates among the Justices about historical analysis. In a recent book criticizing originalism, retired Justice Stephen Breyer expressed a profoundly negative view of the Justices as historians. More recently, Justice Barrett, a conservative, raised similar concerns. And Justice Kavanaugh, while defending originalism in a concurring opinion, has a lot to say about its metes and bounds.Given the ongoing public debate concerning crime generally and firearms ownership particularly, the Court’s ruling in United States v. Rahimi is likely to be the subject of intense interest. In the wake of District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U. S. 570 (2008), and more recently, McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U. S. 742 (2010), and New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn., Inc. v. Bruen, 597 U. S. 1 (2022), many critics have criticized the Supreme Court for giving virtually unlimited permission regarding the ownership and possession of firearms. Putting aside both personal and political views on the subject, the Supreme Court has made it clear that “the right to keep and bear arms,” while a fundamental right, is not an unlimited right.In an assortment of opinions joining or concurring with that of the Chief Justice, with only Justice Thomas dissenting, the Court held that when someone has been found by a court to pose a credible threat to the physical safety of another, that person may be temporarily disarmed consistent with the Second Amendment. Reciting at great length in a manner that the Court has imposed upon itself in firearms cases, the Chief Justice has reiterated the historical record demonstrating that, since the nation’s founding, laws and

e analyzed under Bruen’s three-part test, which requires determination of: (1) whether the challenger is “of the people” who have Second Amendment rights; (2) whether the plain text of the Second Amendment covers the challenger’s conduct; and (3) if so, whether the government has proven that the firearms regulation is part of the historical tradition that delimits the outer bounds of the right to keep and bear arms.Under this analysis the en banc majority reversed the district court, concluding: (1) Mr. Range was among “the people” protected by the Second Amendment, despite his non-violent felony conviction, because the rights conferred by the Second Amendment presumptively belong to all Americans; (2) by prohibiting Mr. Range from possessing a rile to hunt and a shotgun to defend himself at home, Section 922(g)(1) regulates conduct protected by the plain text of the Second Amendment; and (3) since Section 922(g)(1) is not a “longstanding” regulation as contemplated by D.C. v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), and it could not otherwise identify an older analogous regulation, the Government failed to demonstrate Section 922(g)(1) was consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearms regulations. Accordingly, the en banc majority held that Section 922(g)(1), as applied to citizens with prior felony convictions for welfare fraud, violates the Second Amendment.

had the protection of a federal law preventing licensed dealers from selling to people under 21. Today the parent’s only power is to threaten the child with eviction; a remedy almost no parent wants to invoke. This now becomes a parenting pivot point where one parent says the gun is welcome at home while the other parent objects. What is a judge to do in a world where the law seems to say that the child is entitled to the gun? Moreover, why doesn’t a 16 year old have 2nd Amendment rights; or any child? That seems absurd except that the highest court in the land has decided the language about a “well regulated militia” has been deemed legally insignificant. After all, an eight year old in Pennsylvania is eligible for what is termed a “mentored hunting permit.” Footnote 18 to the opinion tries to draw a line at age 18 discussing the fact that people under that age are not part of the ”political community.” But the same opinion is replete with citations to District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 635 (2008) which references this right as one of “self defense.” Do those under 18 have no such right? After all the first, fourth, fifteen, eighth and fourteenth amendments apply to “all” Americans regardless of age. (Opinion at p. 38). The opinion further notes that during the American Revolution sixteen year olds were commonly admitted to the militia. (Id. p.44) This is a challenge. Guns now exceed motor vehicles as the leading cause of death among children. We are averaging 30 school shootings a year since 2018. This year we seem to be tracking toward 50 school shootings, a number on par with 2022. Yet, our reverence for the 2nd Amendment and penchant to view 1791 as the “good old days” when interpreting constitutional law seems to be on a collision course with the welfare of our children. And today, if a parent asks a court to forbid his or her child to have such a weapon, it does not seem clear that any judge has the right to grant such relief.Fraser v.
