A federal law banning the “possession of a firearm with an altered, obliterated, or removed serial number” has been ruled unconstitutional.
In a ruling issued Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Joseph Goodwin said serial numbers can’t be required now because they didn’t even exist when the Second Amendment was adopted in 1791. The ban was not in keeping with the U.S.’ “historical tradition of firearm regulation,” a new requirement for gun regulations that was recently laid out in a landmark Supreme Court ruling, The Hill reported.
Under the Supreme Court’s new framework, any modern regulation that doesn’t line up with how people understood gun rights when they were established is unconstitutional “regardless of how desirable or important that regulation may be in our modern society,” Goodwin wrote.
