R. R. v. New Jersey

In New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1, 38, n.9 (2022), this Court rejected Second Amendment infringements that involve the “appraisal of facts, the exercise of judgment, and the formation of an opinion,” features that can be “put toward abusive ends,” and held that only “narrow, objective, and definite standards” pass constitutional muster. Per the above, the Questions Presented here are:

1. May a court deny Second Amendment rights due to a person’s lawful and peaceful expression of his religious beliefs and grievances with his government?

2. Is disenfranchisement of Second Amendment rights constitutional when denied under a statute that prohibits issuance of firearm purchaser permits “in the interest of the public health, safety or welfare because the person is found to be lacking the essential character of temperament necessary to be entrusted with a firearm”?

3. Does the above standard constitute a Second Amendment restriction that is not in our Nation’s historical text and tradition of firearm regulation; or an unconstitutional interest-balancing test in offense to Heller; or an unconstitutionally vague or overbroad standard upon undefined terms that lack Due Process notice?
