United States v. Bogle, No. 11-349 (2d Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed his conviction for possession of a firearm and body armor as a convicted felon, arguing that 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(1) violated his Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Defendant relied on recent Supreme Court opinions developing a more expansive interpretation of the Amendment. But in both of these opinions, the Supreme Court clearly emphasized that recent developments in Second Amendment jurisprudence should not "be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons." Therefore, the court joined every other circuit to consider the issue in affirming that section 922(g)(1) was a constitutional restriction on the Second Amendment rights of convicted felons.
