David Coale Interviewed on Court Overturning Domestic Gun Violence Law

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in Texas has struck down a federal law prohibiting possession of a firearm for anyone that is under a domestic violence court order, echoing a 2022 Supreme Court decision that overturned a New York law requiring people to have a license to possess a firearm. "The Supreme Court told us last year to only look at the historic tradition surrounding the Second Amendment when it became effective in 1791," said LPHS attorney David Coale in an interview with Fox4 News. "One of the things this opinion highlights is that it's going to be hard to get past the Second Amendment on laws that are most specifically tailored to problems in our modern society.” View the complete interview here.
