Rahimi Doesn’t Change Canada - §922(g)(1) Not Subject to Facial Attack

US v. Canada: Recall back in June in this case that the Fourth Circuit held that the felon in possession of a firearm prohibition, §922(g)(1), was no subject to facial challenge under the Second Amendment. Canada sought review from the Supreme Court, which granted certiorari under Rahimi and remanded to the Fourth Circuit for further proceedings. The court stated that it “carefully reviewed Rahimi and our previous decision in this case and conclude they are fully consistent.” As a result, the court “re-adopt[ed] and re-issue[d] our previous decision in this case as modified” to discuss Rahimi. The end result is the same - §922(g)(1) is not subject to facial attach under the Second Amendment.
