SECOND AMENDMENT / THOMAS GALLATIN / MAY 18, 2021
Firearm Confiscation Checked by Supreme Court
The justices protected the Fourth and Second Amendments from so-called “community caretaking” laws.PRINTLISTEN
The U.S. Supreme Court just issued a unanimous decision on a case that could have reverberating impact on the Fourth and Second Amendments. On Monday, all nine justices agreed to overturn a First Circuit Court of Appeals ruling against Rhode Island resident Edward Caniglia, who contended that his Fourth Amendment rights were violated when law enforcement officers who were administering a welfare check elected to search his home and confiscate his firearms without a warrant.
