Hello Gents-
The Court turned us down on the statutory construction argument regarding "two years or less". The Court expressly found that Mr. Binderup's Second Amendment rights were violated by the prohibition as the court found he poses no more of a danger than someone never convicted of a crime.
Yes, if the government does not appeal this decision or prevail on appeal, this opens the door for many prohibited persons with old non-violent convictions to sue for the restoration of their rights.
We have another similar case pending in the Middle District of Pennsylvania for another similarly situated individual. We will see how that one goes too.
The corruption of minors charge stemmed from having consensual sex with a 17 year old girl. There was no violence indicated in Mr. Binderup's case.
Regards,
Douglas Gould
