NRA Files Amicus Brief Urging Fifth Circuit to Adopt a Test in Disarmament Cases that Ensures Peaceable Citizens Cannot Be Disarmed

An NRA-ILA legal update says the group has filed an amicus brief in a Fifth Circuit felon-in-possession case urging judges to adopt a dangerousness-based constitutional test for disarmament. The brief argues that nonviolent or otherwise peaceable citizens should not lose Second Amendment rights absent evidence they are dangerous. Framed as a legal-advocacy intervention, the item highlights a narrower theory of who may be barred from possessing firearms.
