Second Amendment
In Kanter v. Barr, 919 F.3d 437 (7th Cir. 2019),[51] Barrett wrote a lengthy dissent in favor of gun-ownership rights for felons.[51] Barrett stated that while the government has a legitimate interest in denying gun possession to felons convicted of violent crimes, there is no evidence that denying guns to nonviolent felons promotes this interest, and that denying such rights is a violation of the Second Amendment.[52]
