Drug Dealing Conviction Survives Second Amendment Challenge

The Seventh Circuit upheld a lifetime gun ban for a Wisconsin man convicted of drug dealing and caught with multiple firearms after a 2022 shooting incident. The court found his disarmament consistent with founding-era legal traditions under the Bruen historical-tradition test. Critically, the ruling explicitly leaves open whether non-violent felons face the same permanent ban.
