Can a misdemeanor conviction really strip you of your Second Amendment rights? In this video, we break down the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals’ major decision in United States v. Michael Blake DeFrance (No. 23-2409), where the court reversed a federal conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(9) — the law that prohibits firearm possession after a domestic violence misdemeanor.
You’ll learn:
~What § 922(g)(9) actually says
~Why the court ruled Montana’s DV statute was overbroad
~How this decision could impact future gun rights and domestic violence cases
~What this means for Second Amendment law post-Bruen
