A U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals panel today ruled that “the right to purchase and sell firearms is part and parcel of the historically recognized right to keep and bear arms,” an opinion almost certain to make gun prohibitionists shudder.
The 2-1 opinion came in a case filed by the Second Amendment Foundation, the California Association of Federal Firearms Licensees, the Calguns Foundation, Inc., and three businessmen, John Teixeira, Steve Nobriga and Gary Gamaza. It is known as Teixeira v. Alameda County, and it was supported by an amicus brief filed by Virginia attorney Alan Gura for the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. The ruling may be read here.
Judge O’Scannlain reiterated, “The right of law-abiding citizens to keep and to bear arms is not a ‘second-class right, subject to an entirely different body of rules than the other Bill of Rights guarantees that we have held to be incorporated into the Due Process Clause.’”
