The left wing fascists on the lower courts ignored Heller, and other Supreme Court rulings in the past….but for now, they will have to live with the actual Constitution and Bill of Rights…..
The First District Court of Appeals tried to weasel their way around the Bruen decision by using intermediate scrutiny when the precedent in Bruen clearly ended that practice. The First District’s ruling applied “logic” stating that while a person convicted of a gun-related misdemeanor can’t purchase a handgun, they can possess one if it’s left to them in a will. Therefore, as the court seemed to think, Massachusetts’ law wasn’t a ban on handgun ownership.

The Supreme Court granted cert in the case, vacated the First District ruling, and returned it for reconsideration.
