Chipping away at the 2A infringements... Third Circuit Rules Permanent Gun Ban from an Involuntary Commitment is UnconstitutionalGunwatch, Saturday, September 17, 2016 In May of 2012, Clifford Charles Tyler filed a suit to regain his Second Amendment rights, which had been improperly withheld from him when he attempted to buy a firearm. When he attempted to purchase a firearm, he had been denied because he had been involuntarily committed 28 years before. The District Court dismissed the lawsuit on January 29, 2013. Tyler appealed to the Sixth Circuit. A three judge panel of the Sixth Circuit ruled the provision unconstitutional in December of 2014. The Obama administration found the case important enough that they asked for, and got, an en banc review. The entire Sixth Circuit has reheard the case. On Friday, 15 September, 2016, 10 of the Circuit's 15 judges concurred and upheld the initial ruling. From courthousenews.com: gunwatch.blogspot.com/2016/09/third-circuit-rules-permanent-gun-ban.html
