This is a good win. A very strong district court win. You will note the references to the Heller II dissent by Kavanaugh and that is an indication that this judge not only gets it, this is the same analysis that took down DC's gun ban. It's called a textual/historical/traditional approach and it's the one we want SCOTUS to analyze RTC with.

BTW: This will be applied here in MA but we need to clear suitability first.
A federal judge has thrown out part of Chicago's gun law, ruling that a section banning permits for people convicted of unlawful use of a weapon is vague and unconstitutional.
