Federal 7th Circuit Court
Criminal Court
Second Amendment
Defendant challenged his indictment and conviction under Section 5861(d) of the National Firearm Act, which criminalizes receipt or possession of certain unregistered firearms, alleging that the statute unconstitutionally burdens conduct protected by the Second Amendment. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, explaining that binding precedent foreclosed defendant’s argument. (JACKSON-AKIWUMI and LEE, concurring)
