More on the Felon Gun Rights Case
"The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled unanimously that convicted felons could not go to federal court to seek restoration of their gun rights once Congress blocked and defunded an administrative procedure for doing so. In a ruling written by Justice Clarence Thomas, the Court studiously avoided mention of Second Amendment gun right issues that had been raised in some briefs in the case."
The case is United States v. Bean, and we posted a synopsis of it yesterday, here.
Here is the text of the opinion. And the Washington Post provides this view of the decision.
