His administration, which is avowedly committed to protecting Second Amendment rights, nevertheless is defending that restriction against the FPC's challenge, saying it "serves legitimate objectives" and "only modestly burdens the right to keep and bear arms."
That argument sounds suspiciously like the sort of "interest balancing" that the Supreme Court emphatically rejected in Bruen. When a gun restriction affects conduct covered by "the Second Amendment's plain text," the Court said in that case, the government has the burden of demonstrating that it is "consistent with this Nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation." That test typically requires identifying historical analogs that are "relevantly similar" in motivation and scope to a challenged law.
The government's lawyers concede that the ban on interstate handgun sales "unquestionably burdens the fundamental right to keep and bear arms." But they argue that it "aligns with the nation's regulatory tradition," citing several historical precedents that the FPC describes as irrelevant or inadequate.

Must be the "modest burden" exception to the "shall not be infringed" clause.
Once they no longer need you, they no longer hear you.
Modest Burden... That falls under “Strict Scrutiny”?
It also affects interstate commerce. But that is different somehow.
Once they no longer need you, they no longer hear you.
2020 proved they no longer need us. With a little help from the CCP, they can rig it any way they want it.
I can’t say I agree with the Trump Admin choice to restrict guns. “There are four boxes to be used in the defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and cartridge (or ammo). Please use in that order.” The Biden administration silenced people, worked with the CCP to rig elections, used the legal system to attack political opponents......and we just barely escaped the the last box.
We need the last box to be there, because clearly the Democrats don’t respect the others.
Infringe meaning:
To encroach upon in a way that violates law or the rights of another.
FedGov lawyers need to study up.
Democrats somewhat respect/fear the last box because they are hell bent on eliminating it.
Sounds like his PAST supporters whom he no longer wants supporting him.
We been Hillaried, McCained, Romneyed. Republicanned.
It’s a religion of peace STUPID!
Yea.
I must have a typo in my copy of the bill of rights. The second amendment on mine ends saying “shall not be infringed.” I guess the official government copy says “shall only be moderately infringed.”
Once Trump no longer needs you, he no longer hears you and in fact, gaslights you and tells you to get lost..
This Ping List is for all news pertaining to infringes upon or victories for the 2nd Amendment.
FReepmail me if you want to be added to or deleted from this Ping List.
More 2nd Amendment related articles on FR's Bang List.
Ok, then get lost.
This could come with a very heavy price!
All weapons laws are infringements.
But the lawyer class fears “We The People” so they make anti-weapons laws anyway.
for later.
There's a couple of schumeresque lies.
Now back to our regularly scheduled program.
Fools abandoning Trump over this will help get something worse than Biden, Pelosi, Harris and Obama selected.
Send your demands to your congresscritter and the White House, but don’t be stupid immature little children.
